The BBC trailer is simple and short but very effective, the sky one is pretty dull.
I only have your previous posting to base it on. It seemed to be contradictory, but you have clarified the situation. Thanks. Last edited by Adam43; 2 Mar 2012 at 22:02. |

Emmo! Legends of F1 on sky F1 is Emmo. The man. Fortunately Rider is interviewing.
Just a preview, but looks good, but then it is Emmo. |

Some interesting stuff is already turning up on the Sky F1 channel, and it all looks to have been done very professionally.

I thought the sound in the Emmo interview was poor quality and I didn't like the tune played over the Williams build.

The thing I fear is that this channel is designed for me in my late teens and early twenties. ie, when I was a student and had time for all this! I would have lapped this up then, as I did when I bought sky so I could get the F1digital+ channel. Except this looks loads better than that. The added content looks great.
Oh and how cool is Emmo? Emmo is 40,000 cool. |

Emmo had these effortlessly cool sideburns. I think he might still do.
As for Sky, I am reviewing my BT contract, as I pay £50 a month (a rate agreed when we lived in an area with BT Infinity, their quick broadband service). Now we don't, we're told we have to pay the same price. The whole thing seems a bit shoddy to me, so I'm looking at Sky, which apparently I can get everything for plus F1 for £42.50. Darkside/ sell-out, etc. |

I changed to Sky Broadband and to HD at the same time. Saves about £10 per month against BT plus I automatically get Sky F1.

The disadvantage is we'll have to pay a £100 fine.

Sky have confirmed "Just Drive" by Alistair Griffin - originally used by the BBC for their end-of-season montage in 2010 - will be their theme music for F1 next year.

I don't like News Corp and I don't like paying Bernie and Rupes more money, but neither do I like cutting off my nose to spite my face.
With this in mind, I now have Sky. What can I say? I Formula 1. I couldn't even be bothered to rant about News Corp at the lackey on the phone, because they are trained never to respond, so I may as well tell the wall what I think. But the thing is, I'm paying 50 quid a month for phone and internet (BT). With Sky, I'll pay 50 quid a month for phone, internet and Formula 1. Principles are great, but boring, and Formula 1 is greater and more enjoyable. Also, the RTL idea was great, but if that meant calling out someone just to point the satellite a certain direction, that would cost more than F1 for a month (£30 for the TV package). |

Never seen so many posters all over the place advertising Sky's F1.
Hope they catch a cold financially ... but somehow I doubt it !! |

God called and he's booked me in for Hell. I wasn't having a great day anyway, because I've had heartburn since 3pm when that bit of my soul died.

I'll catch the same financial cold, 50 quid VS 50 quid, but I actually get more for my money (okay, admittedly, I only get the same F1 I had last year for the cost of the licence fee, but now I'm actually getting more product. Also, is it really that expensive? I know it's far more expensive than last year and I appreciate the mix of budgets everyone has, but it's the cost of a trip to the supermarket. |

No need to justify yourself to anybody, one of my favourite principles is that people should be able to spend their money on whatever they want, within the law obviously. When Murdoch is found an unsuitable person to own a TV company and forced to leave BSB to more reputable management I will reconsider myself. Until then I shall enjoy what looks to me like the better commentary team at the BBC. |

I really like Just Drive, but it doesn't quite fit as intro music IMO. The opening credits almost feel like closing credits to me. But still, it's better than DC in a tux.
I threatened to discontinue my TV with Sky last week and they have offered my line rental for free for 12 months (I had just got the broadband and phone package last month). I said I was interested in F1 but pretended I didn't know that it was on the HD package. The guy on the phone said they may be doing deals on the HD sub this week, so it's always worth seeing what offers you might be able to get. |

I think I meant that I agree with people protesting human rights abuses, government actions, etc, but it doesn't look much fun.

The problem with just watching on the BBC for other races is that I like to follow a race with live timing and reading and posting on Ten-Tenths. Also, I still don't know what Auntie's plans are regarding the non-live shows (this may be my fault with the information now out there, but I checked quite recently and couldn't see anything firm): are they doing full re-runs? The term 'extended highlights' worries me- I don't like the race skipping 5 laps suddenly, as the editing team pride themselves on another seamless shift from one part of the race to another, only serving to potentially leave the viewer at a loss to reading the race. The 'PR' handling on the BBC's side has been poor at best, and I love the BBC and the value it brings to programming. |
