    Sky Sports F1 HD

    Is this still part of the HD package? I'm sure we got it as part of that originally, but it only seems to be shown under the Sky Sports package now for new installs? Hidden Content

    The F1 channel is now part of the sky sports pack only

    Previously it was part of the HD pack but not anymore.

    Yes sadly indeed, but until people stop subscibing in the masses it's unlikely to change anytime soon...

    I called them up end last year wanting to cancel HD over the winter as I only got it for the F1. They told me if I wanted it back it have to be part of the sports package. I told them that ok I watch it on the BBC as they showing most of it on Red button or so many live, suddenly they offered the HD package and F1 at a reduced price of ?5 a month instead of ?10.

    I complained and got it back free
    when I signed up for free 12mts HD it came with F1

    then when my 12mts ended I wanted to cancel sky all together

    they cheekily tried to charge my card 5 weeks before the end mind
    lucky i'd blocked it by CPA cancel to the bank sev weeks earlier.

    phoned to complain

    they tried everything in the book to keep me. I refused

    then I got a call from retentions offering me the lot at half price inc + F1

    said no,

    then got it down to 7.50 with free F1 HD as it was already in my 'deal' when I signed up

    its nice here....

    You could move your dish to 19'e and watch it free on RTL. If you want British commentary, then tune to (or use online streaming) of 5 Live on the radio.

    Bernie is a greedy **** and eventually will get his own way and make F1 a pay thing for Germany too.

    Then again, feeds can be found on XBMC with sports devil and mashup....

    I fail to understand how Bernie makes F1 a pay channel when the sponsorship deal companies are paying ads on the cars and on the tracks, I totally refuse to pay extra to watch F1, the Sky presenters are crap anyway compared to BBC.

    With these XBMC boxes can you get stuff like F1 in HD?
