If you want technical info regarding F1 there are better sources than this channel.
If you want to watch practice/qualifying and of course the race they are on BBC (and in HD) all be it sometimes delayed.
Suzi Perry, Eddie Jordan, Ben Edwards and David Coulthard are better than Sky's commentators/analyists in my opinion.
I just don't get what the fuss is with wanting this channel so bad in HD?

Not really true. When the BBC get highlights you don't get the practice sessions on BBC you only get them when the BBC are live. also you miss out on quite a bit of action as well as all the live timings and other features you only get when live. Let's be honest highlights of football on MOTD is nowhere near as good as watching a match live its the same for F1 fans with a highlights show you keep wondering what's missing.
What's even more annoying is that costs have not been cut that much as the BBC crew still attend all races regardless of being shown live or highlights and it seem the BBC blackout is only active in the UK as I've picked up a US Feed on the Internet and it was Ben Edwards and DC commentating on a race live that was highlights only in UK.
