[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 784300, member: 176362"] Many F1 fans have been devastated by the deal the BBC have done to share the F1 coverage with Sky. [i]This thread isnt the place to discuss the rights and wrongs of that decision. The deal has been done, and we have to make the best of the situation. Any posts bitching about the F1 going to Sky UK will be removed[/i] In these finacially challenging times its hard to justify the ~40 quid a month Sky UK subscription fee for the Sky Sports coverage. However with a bit of forward planning the F1 coverage is still available via foreign channels - for free or for one off payments rather than the ~40 quid a month you would need to pay Sky UK.. One of the easiest versions is German channel [b]RTL[/b] on 19E. Its transmitted free so is available on almost any digital receiver. [b]RTL HD[/b] is also available on 19E, but isnt free - you will require a German HD+ cam and a suitable receiver that has a CI+ cam slot in it - not a normal CI cam slot. The current cost from a UK dealer is about £100 for one year's access. [b]TF1 France[/b] also carries it. Currently available as [b]TF1 Suisse [/b] on 9E. The easiest way to get [b]TF1[/b] in SD is to get either a [b]Fransat[/b] card &/or receiver with a dish aimed at 5W, or a [b]TNTSat[/b] card / or receiver with the dish pointed at 19E.

Of course these channels have the problem of foreign commentary tracks, but you can listen to the radio commentary on Radio 5Live. It'll be a bit out of synch, but I can put up with that if it saves me 40 quid a month! [b][i]Discussion of any illegal decryption methods for the F1 channels is not permitted.[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
