:D No I'm way too busy to waste my time doing that.

Did you actually type that as a serious comment? I'm askIng this as a serious question

Since when has the red button been on the F1 channel?

It's ace

Do we get it for the race too?

Its been there from the start and its for the full three days.

It has not been on mine from the start. I have watched every race and it definitely has not been there for me.

I'm on V+ not Tivo by the way

Martin Brundle aside, I'm really looking forward to this free weekend-anyone know if I'll have full red button access to race control, or is that reserved for paying customers-I saw it suggested elsewhere that it might be.

It launched just before the British GP on the non-TiVo boxes.

Odd comment.

He's the best thing about F1 coverage. Probably the most knowledgeable pundit in British sports coverage.

thanks

Can't stand the man, probably irrational but haven't liked him from the moment he started on ITV. Not having listen to him has been the best bit about the BBC re negotiating their rights package for me.

Red button working fine. Quad screen is a very good idea and it seems faster than the BBC sports app. One up to Sky.

Wasn't expecting much from Johnny Herbert anyway, but the guy with him (Simon Lazenby?) is dreadful.

This is going the way we expected :D cue the rest of the Anti Sky brigade :D

Brundle no good and you call yourself a fan of F1 :shocked:

Its got nothing to do with the anti Sky brigade but more to do with personal tastes and l have to admit Brundle is not someone who l rate at all.

And you get tetchy when we accuse you of bias!? Read my post again-red button is better than the BBC, I so far don't like the presenting team. I really couldn't have been any more balanced.

Also, I didn't say Brundle was no good-he's certainly better than Ben Edwards (how's that for bias?)-I said I didn't like him, which is different. I even went as far as to admit that my dislike of him was irrational.

The sd picture quality is good.

And so far even the adverts are relevant to the sport-admittedly it's raining but they don't feel like an interruption so much as a companion. Yet.

And another plus for this channel is the fact that it's just that, a dedicated channel, meaning practice is available to view even if the red button service isn't. The early practice sessions at Silverstone were live on the BBC red button which was down and so I missed them.
