Sky Sports F1 HD

[astracrazy]

This is going to be the opening credits for the Sky Shows..

dont like it

its too....gentle. I liked the chain and even itv's lift me up. They had a sort of build up to it that this just doesn't. Which is prob why bbc used it at the end of a season.

[Just_a_fan]

£1 a day is too much for F1 in HD and 5.1 surround sound. 14 hours of live action at each race, almost double what the BBC had, 9 different camera angles via the red button. not to mention all the programmes sky will show during the week aswell as old races from previous years.

ALSO for you £1 a day, your get in HD - BBC, ITV1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, CH4, SKY1, CH5, Sky Living, Sky Atlantic, FX, SyFy, E4, Dave....... (and more)

Plus many more Standard def channels.

ALL FOR £1 A DAY !! Id say thats bloody good value!

Only have a stereo TV (no 5.1 sourround system here), no way I'd be allowed to watch F1 for 14 hours each race weekend. SWMBO would never allow it! 9 camera angles does sound good, admittedly.

I already pay for BBC, ITV, CH4 etc. and whilst HD would be nice, it's only a "nice to have" really.

So, at £18 per race (because all the rest of it isn't that relevant really) I still think it's pricey.

I think I've probably already watched an hours worth and the channel hasn't even started properly.. the time lapse Williams and Caterham builds are great!

To Princey
Catergham time lapse ?? Iv only seen the Williams one, and i have prob watched 5 hours worth of that channel. How have i missed this ??

To Just a Fan
As for HD being "nice to have" If you had HD for this season, i swear you would never go back, and would then say its value for money, but its your money and its your decision. I hope the BBC do a good job this year for you guys out there without Sky.

Yeah there is a Caterham one too.. I saw it yesterday ( I think my 1 hours worth was slightly under exaggerated to not sound like I have to much free time ) it's from a different angle to the Williams one but pretty much the same.. they seem to attach things quicker but it may have been a more comprehensive video of the Williams and that one does go on for ages.. your just gonna have to up your hours!

Consider it done All i have on my mind over the last weeks or so is channel 408!
408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408 408!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waynes]

whoever doesnt have a surround system, you NEED to get one

a decent phillips one is £100 in Asda

Good news if you already have sky..

[Gerhard Berger]

Looking at the planner for the weekend, this channel has plenty of stuff that will keep me entertained when i'm bored.

What I find great is 1 place to be able to see GP2, GP3 and F1 all together.

[ESPImperium]

Sky is worth it. However they will have to go some to beat the BBC over the past 3 years.

Anyways, BBC used the Sky F1 theme tune for the 2010 end season montage:

Doesn't hold a candle to what Fuji TV used in 2007 for the Spanish GP intro
