Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

How can they show a subscription channel on freeview unless people have the boxes that take the top up cards? That's going to cost a bit more than a tenner a month if you first have to upgrade your box.

I wonder if "included free on Sky and Virgin"means just that or if it really means "(if you already have the Sports package)". If so, I wonder if we Virgin customers will be able to subscribe to just the F1 channel for Â£10 a month, or if we will get stung for a full subscription.

This is just an rumour like BenMcr says ''(Wait) until there are official announcements from Sky and/or VM''

Even Media Boy have not been told anything about this from my Insiders.

I'm sure it would be free only to Sky Sports subscribers , like you say it will be interesting to see if VM/Sky customers have the option to take it as a standalone

More likely VM Customers will get the SD for Â£10 a month, while Sky Customers get it free with Sky Sports and in HD with Red Button ;)

Except that's probably likely not to happen

Remember the format that F1 is filmed in is agreed by all the host broadcasters as they film the race in their country

I think if either Sky or VM charge for this channel, they should boycott it, F1 l believe is the motor racing channel, and they are worth millions, so what do they need money for.
