I wonder if "included free on Sky and Virgin"means just that or if it really means "(if you already have the Sports package)". If so, I wonder if we Virgin customers will be able to subscribe to just the F1 channel for £10 a month, or if we will get stung for a full subscription.

This is just an rumour like BenMcr says ''(Wait) until there are official announcements from Sky and/or VM''
Even Media Boy have not been told anything about this from my Insiders.

I'm sure it would be free only to Sky Sports subscribers , like you say it will be interesting to see if VM/Sky customers have the option to take it as a standalone

More likely VM Customers will get the SD for £10 a month, while Sky Customers get it free with Sky Sports and in HD with Red Button

Except that's probably likely not to happen
Remember the format that F1 is filmed in is agreed by all the host broadcasters as they film the race in their country

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.
I think if either Sky or VM charge for this channel, they should boycott it, F1 l believe is the motor racing channel, and they are worth millions, so what do they need money for.
