So , after ranting and raving about the sky deal earlier in this thread i have to admit i am going to subsribe to the HD pack . I do not feel that watching half the races and a highlights package for the other half will tell the great story of an F1 season . Anyway, Sky has annoyed me already this morning ! I put Sky Sports News on this morning to try and catch some action from Jerez and the first time i caught them go over to Spain the Sky reporter spent 10 mins speaking to Sir Jackie Stewart (no disrespect Jackie !) You could hear the cars on track , but i just wanted to see the new cars on track . Come on Sky all us F1 fans are hungry to see some action!! Sorry for the long post , i am now of to the BBC Sport F1 page!!!!

So, Sky F1 launches March 9th but Australia FP1 isn't until a week later....
I bet it'll be un-encrypted and available to everyone from the launch until FP1. |

Is it only in HD or will there be an SD variant like the other Sky Sports channels?

Those of you upgrading to the HD package just to get F1 may be disappointed. It looks like you might be required to subscribe to the full Sky Sports package after all:

Based on one post by some third-party who probably didn't actually LISTEN to the customer service agent.... the "HD customers get F1" is still on the Sky website. I'll believe Sky's site over some third-party reddit.com feed. |

Sky's F1 TV ads state that HD and Sports packages will get F1 channel.

https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...03943719688965 This should answer some of the SD/HD questions, plus on the page there is news of Ipad apps and the aim to show F1 in 3D in time.

Interesting to note that the current deal with the BBC ends in 2018. And also interesting is that Jonathan Legard will stand in for James Allen on BBC Radio 5 live for some races!

Legard on 5Live Friday FP1: 'And what about this man? Narain Karthikayen. What can he do? There he goes, down the hill, round the corner, pushing to the limit. POLE POSITION! He's on pole! Who would have predicted that?!'
