Yes you can. I'll look when I get in tonight to find which satellite does it and in English

ESPN have full coverage of F1.

I think an internet feed will be my way of watching the non BBC races.

Is espn FTA what satellite? Hotbird ?

Well I won't be paying Sky to watch it











The Mrs says Sky is a waste of money, so that's that.

I'm not sure,my brother this watch in Iran and i think its not FTA,i'm afraid.

Here is List of F1 broadcasters

Me either, as much as I love watching F1 I won't be paying for it either.

I wonder if Sky will run their usual amounts of adverts when it's on? remember how pish it was on ITV with adverts?

Email the person responsible at the BBC for this decision and tell them what you think:

Cricket, and now F1. Dark days. :(

Done!

Yes it is, there is little left for me to watch on the BBC as i am not a fan of Eastenders, Bargain Hunters, etc. The only thing i think i have watched on BBC1 this week is the rerun of Sherlock - oh and the grand prix last Sunday.

Nice one. :thumb:
Email duly sent.

Sad as it is......it's business. If sky pay more they win.

Maybe some of you should find something to do on Sunday afternoons during the summer instead of watching TV ;)

What a joke.

Well it's no surprise that F1 is not everyone's favourite, but for those of us that do follow it it's a big deal, and will make time to catch the races that fit in to all the other stuff that there is to do.
Time spent doing what you want to do is time well spent. Agreed? :D

Someone with 12,000 post telling someone to get more ... The irony. :D

I thought they learnt that putting it on sky was a bad idea. At least it's not a premium channel like before.

Good thing I can still go over my parents to watch it. Or even log in online as my dad and watch it there.

Email sent. Come on peeps. Bombard the cow.

I've posted it here too:

You're not doing so bad yourself!

Streaming sites?

What a stupid and extremely arrogant thing to say. :wonder:
Why don't you stop watching TV full stop?
Or how about stop wasting your time on here?

The BBC have got to change the way the company is run.
Adverts and sponsoring programs is the only way forward.
The BBC cannot expect every licence payer to subsidise it when all they show is shiite.

Trouble is common sense can never prevail in a bullshat organisation that has been spoonfed by the public for so long.........

Clearly the BBC think they can't afford it......it's a business.

Yes it's dissapointing, but I'd not think any amount of moaning will get it back.

Many BBC programs they can sell to other countries and make money, this isn't one of them.

But im not telling people to get out more ;)

What ever happened to Bernies TV channel? I would have paid monthly specifically for F1 but I won't pay for Sly Sports.

What a shame. Hopefully means that more peope will watch Motors TV and improve thier offerings. V8 Supercars and the ALMS series will probably become more popular as a result.

Such a shame.

Email sent, will let you know if I get one back haha I think she will be busy today tho!

Doug

What happens in other countries, does anybody know? Is it on subscription TV elsewhere?

I've signed the petition, however whilst I don't mind F1 moving away from BBC (for example to ITV, Ch5 or CH4 etc), what I do abhore is paying a subscription charge to watch it.

Although I have to say, I think coverage quality has been far better since the switch to from ITV back to BBC. So moving back to a commercial broadcaster is a backwarsd step. And I bet $sky will still cram advert breaks in all over teh place, like ITV did - but charge viewere for the privilidge! :mad:

F1 has always been free to view on TV, and this should remain the case. I will not pay any extra (above my TV licence) to watch F1; especially to $ky.

I have an old 60cm dish currently still pointed at the old analogue Astra transponder (19.2E), and an old tuner which will pick up RTL Deutshland which shows F1 for free, so if the worst comes to the worst I'll hook it back up. No HD or Dolby 2.0/5.1 though :(

I knew buying that TV with a built in Freesat HD tuner would come in handy...just need to find out which transponder beams f1 for free in HD ;)

So the BBC will only actually show highlights on TV itself? The "live" coverage is online only.

The BBC did this before when they had F1 - do you remember? They only started showinng highlights of races.
