it may well just be a HD flagging mistake. it makes no sense to show qualifying in HD and not the race, anyway VM have nearly a week to correct it if it is a mistake. in the mean time email the BBC to find if you are really wanting to know.

But they will show the race on HD highlight on BBC HD, which don't make sense at all. :confused:

it makes sense if its a HD flagging mistake as it means that VM have forgot to flag the race as a HD broadcast it does happen from time to time especially on Eurosport HD.

im pretty sure if the Qualifying and highlights are in HD the race will also be in HD especially as the feed the BBC have from the FOM is HD now.

Unfortunately we won't be able to launch our UK channel this month, but as you can see we are ready to go with our programmes, we're just finding the best home for the UK channel. We'll keep you up to date with all of the latest channel news right here, so you'll be the first to know whenever we have something to announce

So what do they mean by "best home" then? They can't be deciding which channel to put the progs on because it IS a channel, so it sounds to me they are looking at which provider to put it on.

Hopefully it is just a flagging mistake.

The Sky EPG didn't flag the Cheltenham Festival as native on C4 HD but it certainly was, even the morning line shows were too. The BBC F1 Trailers also say HD on them.

We'll see.

What channel? I'm guessing either Ginx or Adult Swim.

Possibly means that they're wanting to launch on a load of platforms at once and negotiations with one of them are going slower than planned
