I've just read this on the BBC:
Quote:
Only half of the race as highlights?!! Thats terrible news for me. I fail to see how they are going to deliver the tension and anticipation of unfolding events with only an hour to show it. So basically we have an hours worth of guff and boring interviews, tyre talk yawn and the rest is a few laps thrown together. I have a feeling the get together we have on Sunday will be more about a few beers than watching the race. :/ |

As we are getting on to more sociological economic issues it may be worth considering that sky, along with cable companies, have developed an industry that employs many people directly and indirectly. Probably doesn't make up for the murdering of fluffy bunnies, but it allows some others to buy things they want too.

How long is an average F1 race? about 90 minutes normally iirc
So you weren't really asking for highlights just a re-run Me, i'm a student, i have access to sky go through my parents but im mostly going to be watching the BBC coverage Even though im a fan of F1 i wouldn't personally be able to afford the sky fees |

There's some odd moralising going on in this thread.
Personally, I sincerely hope Murdoch and every last one of his syphilitic tribe burn in hell for all of eternity, but I'd still subscribe to Sky if I wanted to watch live football and F1 enough, if my budget allowed. As it is I didn't watch enough live races last year when it was free to warrant paying for them now. It's a shame live F1 is no longer free to air, but I can't honestly argue that every race should be included in the 'crown jewels' of free tv in the UK, and I think there are more important things for the BBC to spend my licence fee on. |

I believe that very soon there is going to be an announcement concerning Murdoch and SKY that will vibrate through the entire broadcasting industry..

They are somehow connected? Easiest fix if you have a Sat dish is point it at 19E instead of 28E and buy one of those cheap vanilla satellite box's from Lidl or similar and then watch the German coverage with the R5 commentary on a laptop or similar? |

Does anyone know what time the re-run will be on on Sky? If the highlights are only 60 minutes long I may aswell watch the re-run on Sky. I shall take my laptop to my friends and hook it up to his projector instead I am thinking now.

I was going to do that and have been having my sat-nav in German recently, but realised my knowledge of 'Nach links abbiegen up' and something about ausfarts wasn't going to help, because Rocky doesn't tell Seb where to go. (Apologies to Germans for *******ising their language there).

That's the start of a four and half hour programme, so there'll be a certain amount of build-up, perhaps an hour.

That's cool thanks. Perhaps I'll aim to tune in around 3:15 and see where its up to. Just don't want to be watching 2 hours of build up padded out with ad breaks every 15 minutes that's all.

Am i right in thinking that although during the " Live " race there won't be any ad breaks, the re-runs will have them ? Thought i heard that somewhere, but can't recall where.

From what I understand, the ad-breaks will be during the build up. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the re-run, too. But not during the live race.

If you want to experience this tension, listen to the radio commentary and then watch the highlights later. I've done that with football for years... Or find other means of watching it. Sky haven't managed to stop their football coverage being leaked onto the internet, so I imagine there'll be somewhere online that you can watch a poor quality stream. |

Finally got round to finding my sky details to log onto Sky go and the Formula 1 channel isn't listed as a channel to view ?
