As said, those who subscribe to the SKY Sports package will get the SD version of F1 channel. On channel 516, launches on 9th March.

Either buy the sky sports package with VM, or defect to sky (as long as you buy the sky HD service, you don't need to buy the sports package - there is no additional charge for F1).

For now. Give it a couple of years, you WILL have to have the Sky Sports package!

F1 is in HD on the BBC this year like it was last year only problem is we only get half the races live. The extended highlights are still going to be shown on either BBC one HD or BBC HD depending on the time the BBC decide to show it.

Sky are making a big song and dance about F1 being in HD but like I said before the BBC had all that sorted last year !!!
So don't worry just because we don't get all the races live we will still get a HD broadcast regardless of the race being live or highlights.

Because they are deliberately with-holding back the HD variants of their channels to give themselves a competitive advantage and this is where Ofcom should step in to force them to make available the HD variants of some of their channels.

It's not often I disagree with den, but as far as I'm concerned Sky have earnt their competitive advantage since it is they, and not Virgin, that have gone out and bought the rights to the sports that they show on their channels. Forcing a company to share some of what it considers to be it's most important assets in the interests of competition is really just giving Virgin a license to make money out of another company's adventure. Same with f1, Sky have every right to keep the hd version for themselves, I believe. And I really hate Sky!

How do you know that it is all Sky's fault? I ask because there are non Sky HD channels that VM also don't carry.
