The same as VM has to do with every other broadcaster.

Like the regulation what split up the TV football rights , generally costing people more than they were paying before.

I cant understand why you would be so upset about this when VM have already stated that they are in talks with Sky , give it time and see what pans out. If by the start of the F1 season its still exclusive to Sky thens the time to feel aggrieved. :)

To go a little off-topic for a moment, what's more sickening about the way Sky do business is when they go after pubs who have found a cheaper way to get sports coverage by going through the EU, such as with the case of one here in Portsmouth who probably couldn't afford decent football coverage otherwise. Thankfully the landlady won out, but most people/businesses wouldn't fight tooth and nail as she has done.

If people continue to pay through the nose and still get adverts, it'll never change. The sort of person who will spend £60-100 on a poor-quality acrylic shirt just because it is the season strip for their club are exactly the kind who pay £200+ or whatever for a monthly multi-box Sky subscription with all the trimmings and never use most of it anyway.

I can see ofcom getting involved if that happens mainly because F1 is a premium sport.

I am confident it will come and the HD version.

I suspect channel 5 +1 will replace Current TV on channel 155.

Why is channel 5 +1 needed in the first place ?

Because some people find these +1 channels useful.

Tivo has 3 tuners and we have Demand 5.

I am not the only one who thinks this.

Even with 3 tuners the +1 channels can come in handy once in a while.

What's that got to do with anything especially if you want to record something?
