Sky F1 2013

[Titch]

I didn't. But hey-ho this is Sky we are talking about.

Pubs are not for watching telly in, they are for swilling good ale and pontificating about bollocks and that.

Big threat to my F1 "watching all races" life has been announced today; BT have nicked the Champions' League from summer 2015!

So will Sky still be worth it as a package?

If you get BT infinity broadband you get the BT sport channels free and you can watch it through your sky box.

900 million for 3 years BT paid for football. Amazing money. Double what sky was paying.
Was it 'ON digital' (with the Monkey) that went bust after paying huge money for football.....and Setanta. I hope BT have got BT sports ring fenced.

Got to say a big up to Sky for the best F1 coverage ever in the history of the sport. Just amazing coverage. Not 1 second missed. World class analysis. Great pundits. Best commentators in the business.

They should win awards. Brilliant.

and no EJ.
nuff said.

Pity about that ***** Lazenby....surely they can find someone/anyone better than him...his continual gobbing-off.....is so distracting...he is only marginally/if better than Leggard....

Sky have won the award for best coverage from the FIA. Well deserved.

And so they should.

The only thing worth watch is the sand GP with Hill and Herbert up against Rosberg and Hamilton

The rest they can stick where the sun don't shine, who the hell would want to watch a review of this years racing?

The OH has just got a nice big shiny 3D TV for Xmas and were just having a look to see what sky's 3D offerings are. So far seems to be the usual mix of kids, action and wildlife programs.

I got to Mondays section and the Barcelona tests are getting broadcast in 3D. From this I can safely assume that the races will also be in 3D. Is this new for this season?

 

[Greenlantern101]

I wouldn't assume that Mr Squirrel overlord. Sky showed 1 of the tests at the begining of 2013 in 3D as well, but the races were not 3D.

 

[F1Yorkshire]

Just noticed that those programs are actually repeats of last years tests. Why would they be broadcasting them now? Can't see any logical reason for it.

 

[Greenlantern101]

Fuck all else going on and they have a station to fill.

[Titch]

Will they show testing? Don't the tests start in a few weeks time?

 

[Greenlantern101]

Titch There is a 'F1 show' special on at the end of January (no idea what it is covering). Testing starts on the 28th of January. Thats all that has been announced as far as I am aware.
