F1 on Sky Sports
 
do you think F1 will be on Sky Sports HD3 or Sky Sports HD4 and hopefully Virgin Media might get Sky Sports HD3 and Sky Sports HD4 in march 2012

Sky Sports HD 5

I think they will put it on HD1 if it's a big thing for them, although with all the sport they already have I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on Sport 3HD.

Do you think with all the sport Sky have that they will launch another channel.

Re: F1 on Sky Sports
 
I suspect it could well fluctuate i doubt on England test match days cricket will be on SS3 as they are usually on sky sports 1/2,and of course football will be on sky sports one on F1 days on sundays,but if its championship football they could well move it.

So i think F1 may well be on SS3 but not for all races.

BT don't even have 3 or 4 and obviously don't look to pursue the matter and VM agreed the deal to have HD1 and HD2 so I don't really see what complaint they could have. Also Ofcom take years (at least) to come to a decision and they're not there to be VM's mam everytime big brother Sky refuses to give them one of their toys.

We nearly have every Sky service except Atlantic and HD versions of Sky Sports 3/4/News, at this point I don't really see why Sky should sell those to VM unless they're offering an amount that is unrefusable.

By "agreed the deal" I assume you mean "took the only thing available to them as ofcom have only mandated that Sky must offer SS1 and 2 in HD and they're free to withhold 3 and 4 still".

Re: F1 on Sky Sports
 
As I will never buy SKY Sports in order to see a race that will surely end up full of advert breaks due to the poor take up, I think the should have been an option in your vote for the likes of me and many others who will not sign up.

Re: F1 on Sky Sports
 
I get your not interested in 3D however you keep assuming that should a race be on SS HD 3 that VM should get access to it so if that were the case the same would apply with 3D. I've seen no documentation that states every pay tv platform has to have access to the races in HD as many have stated top up TV and BT Vision only carry 1 and 2 and both only in SD.

Mobes 21-08-2011 23:08

I thought part of the F1 agreement is that is needs to be shown in HD... therefore i think Sky would be legally obliged to show it on either 1 or 2... OR offer 3 and 4 in HD to VM and BT....

Not yet it isn't

http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2011/07/2...-adverts-2012/



While Sky has begun broadcasting some sports in 3D the spokesperson said it was “way too early to say” whether this could also be used for F1 – which has only made its debut in HD this year.

They might but i think thats not likely at the moment,and if they did i do not think they would use a channel that far down the sport epg for formula 1.

The majority of races could wll be on sky sports HD/1/2 as the football season finishes early in may and starts again mid august,and there are some races before and after the cricket season so we could only be talking a few races when both England Test cricket and football are on together.

Aye.
I've been saying that all along. Sky wouldn't stick it elsewhere because they want people to sub to sky sports for it. They won't care if they're on net or off net, they'll still make money, so having it on 3 or 4 would rule out anyone subbing to Sky Sports on tutv or bt vision for the f1.

Agree Mobes, something i stated in the "coming soon" thread.

How will they shuffle things around though that is the question. At the moment things like Prem Footy, Cricket etc.. we only need 2 plus the F1 coverage to be on the same Sunday, what will go where then?... Like I said I reckon we may have Sky Sports HD3 come next March, not Sky Sports HD4 though. If Sky can keep one they will.

My points as well not forgetting of course that BT vison or TUTV have no access to sky sports in HD whatsoever so F1 cannot be in HD on all platforms either. despite agreements Bernie Eccleston may have signed regarding HD coverage.

I haven't seen anywhere in all the things I've read that this has to be in hi def for every provider , most people with Sky Sports on VM will see nearly every race in HD anyway as half will be on the BBC and I would expect at least three quarters to be available on HD1 or HD2 with Sky Sports.

Yes pretty much agree with that muppetman, i think the majority that are on sky will be on HD1/2 with a possibilty only a few may be on HD3.

My point about the HD though was does it say it has to be in HD for vm subs i doubt it,therefore those that say vm would have to be given HD3 should F1 be on there may well be wrong.just as BT and TUTV will have no HD coverage.

No adverts , here's the deal

http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...1/7/12372.html
Once SKY realise that the is going to be a poor take up do you really think for one second that they will not start showing adverts as they are in it to make money nothing more, customers always come a poor second.

Yes you have summed it up perfectly there as with Sky its all about money and nothing else.

andrewlutonuk 22-08-2011 10:19
Re: F1 on Sky Sports
 
But one of the reasons F1 went to the BBC from ITV was because of the advert breaks during the race

I recon part of the deal with Sky is that the actual Race is advert free

hi Scruds, I appreciate you are eager for more information like most F1 fans however at present we do not have all the details yet, I'd recommend keeping an eye on the Sky Sports website at www.skysports/com/f1

F1 will be shown on Sky Sports and in HD however we do not as yet know which Sky Sports channels will be used as scheduling still has to be worked out

It will remain ad free for the race , there are plenty of other ways of advertising ie online , on demand and sponsoring the show like ford with football.

They'll cut away from the coverage to whatever their helicopter above is filming then 'bring us stats' sponsored by EA Sports, presumably the only company in the world who can count passes in football.

This was in large part because of the failure of the "F1 Digital +" Channel launched through Sky in the United Kingdom. Prices were too high for viewers, considering they could watch both the qualifying and the races themselves free on ITV.

Not from this?

Quote:
It was announced on 29 July 2011 that Sky Sports and BBC would team up to show the races in F1 in 2012. Sky Sports will show every single race as well as practice sessions and qualifying sessions ad-free, while the BBC would show 10 races live, including the Monaco, British and Season Finale races (also in HD). The other races would be shown deferred, so that all the races could still be seen by the free to air viewers, although these would be the highlights and not the full race

Yes I know what you mean but there is this?

Quote:
TV stations all take what is known as the "World Feed", either produced by the FOM (Formula One Management) or occasionally, the "host broadcaster". The only station that originally differed from this was "Premiere"—a German channel which offers all sessions live and interactive, with features such as the onboard channel. This service was more widely available around Europe until the end of 2002, when the cost of a whole different feed for the digital interactive services was thought too much.
Quote:
However, upon the commencement of its coverage for the 2009 season, the BBC reintroduced complementary features such as the "red button" in-car camera angles, multiple soundtracks (broadcast commentary, CBBC commentary for children, or ambient sound only) and a rolling highlights package. Different combinations of these features are available across the various digital platforms (Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin Media cable and the BBC F1 web site) prior to, during, and after the race weekend. Not all services are available across all the various platforms due to technical constraints. The BBC also broadcasts a post-race programme called "F1 Forum" on the digital terrestrial platforms' "red button" interactive services.

I had Sky Digital installed simply for F1D+ and paid £12 per race for the first nine races then a £50 season ticket for the remainder. Sky channel 434.

Re: F1 on Sky Sports
 
SKY will move it to different channels depending on what sport is also on.
Like other motorsport it will bounce the channel line up from Sky sports 2-4.
The NFL ( sky sports 4) and UK football ( Sky sports 1 & 2 ) take over Sunday nights from August in the F1 season. Cricket will get bounced to Sky sports 2-3, this will leave Sky sports 3, Sky sports News or Sky one, if Formula 1 Clashes with the others. unlike the BBC Sky does not have problems with Program time conflicts and wont have to remove Regular programs out of time slot for sport.

Joking aside I think Sky will put F1 on the following channels:

Sky Sports 1 - when no football is on.
Sky Sports 2 - when football is on.
I'm not asking for speculation MB, but based on my own, I still think we (VM) will have at least Sky Sports HD3 by the start of the next F1 season.

There will be a time when there will be more than just football on HD1 or HD2.
As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong) I thought F1 will be in HD across ALL platforms, if thats the case then there is a lot of talking to do with other platforms? Thats why IMO I personally think that we could have at least HD3 by then.

Hey I know it's all speculation but, it gives me something positive to look forward to..... only time will tell.:)

Hazard a guess what will happen if football is on HD1,and England test cricket coverage on sky sports HD2.

Its alright to say what will happen when football is on,but england test matches are always on HD1/2.

Neither of those in my opinion is up for moving about.But of course i suspect betwen both the others F1 could juggle between HD1/2.;)

Please read my post again muppetman11. I know they don't have it, thats why i said there needs to be talks.

---------- Post added at 13:31 ---------- Previous post was at 13:28 ----------

I know there is no problem with it being shown in SD, that is currently available to everyone. If there is no room on SD/HD1 or 2 then yes, it could be moved to 3 or 4 or even behind the "red button".

All I was trying to point out was IF it has to available in HD to EVERYONE, then...... talks will need to proceed.

I know what you meant , but there are no requirements re HD on every platform or someone would have posted them by now , HD3 and HD4 will arrive sometime on VM but that's not linked to F1. There was no offence meant.

No offence taken muppetman11. I was sure that i read that HD WAS a requirement on all platforms. However, you may be right, I will find out and give you the appropriate link (if i can find it).

I noticed that he says "Sky Sports will be the only place to follow every race live and in HD" and he did not say Sky Sports on Sky will be the only place to follow every race live and in HD. That means it must be on SS1 HD or SS2 HD on virgin media and virgin media will be offered SS3 HD because a few of the F1 races will be on SS3 HD because the English premier league and England test cricket will be on SS1HD and SS2 HD. Unless they move the cricket which i can't see happening

The channel I'm not willing to pay even more for, because F1 has NEVER been a premium broadcast, and the sky deal should never have taken place :mad:.
I'm not willing to pay pushing £200 per year extra, to watch 50% of the races. Been following F1 for 30 years +, and it makes me sick to see the way it is now going:mad: Bernie Ecclestone needs his ass kicking:mad:

It's annoying muppett because I also read somewhere about a clause in F1 that it should be made available (to all) in HD. I can't find the link either and I have tried to find it...

Sky will not move the cricket England test matches have been on SS1 /2 HD since sky got the coverage, there may even be something in the ECB contract to allow for this,unless you can find a quote that says "F1 in HD on virgin media" or something similar i think you are reading way too much from one quote by Barney Francis who of course is only really interested in sky sports on sky,he is not worried n the least wether VM subs will be able to view in HD or not,unless uncle Bernie has it wrtten into the contract specifically.

Its unlikely in my view that virgin will be offered sky sports HD3/4 anytime soon,as they will want to keep something back not just sky sports HD4.

Thank you.

F1 does not equate to Sky giving away channels, its just another sport they have the rights to. As someone has previously mentioned the BBC races and highlights meets the commitment to showing the races in HD, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Sky half of the deal meets it too, after all they are available in HD to the 8 million+ customers of Sky, just not us.

Yes thats pretty much my take on the subject too Jameseh.

Although obviously i do hope should the situation arise that sky would show F1 on HD1/2 if possible.

Without being F1 or Sky Sports related, that was just as useful as your post.
