Want to watch F1 LIVE? Here is a good start: www.racefans.net/f1-information/f1-faq/watch-f1-around-world/These look to be the best options for English Speakers ... For Free:Australia - tenplay.com.au/sport/formula-1/live-streamingThis only works if you appear to be in Oz  A possibility for near-free India - StarSports.com - This was £5.01 for a years on-line subscription in the past. Given the number of languages spoken in India, it is quite likely the commentary could be in English as most peoples second language. How good the streaming is who knows! Chargeable:Sky TV - Long Term(12+ Month) Contract NOW TV - Month by Month Passes F1 TV - www.formula1.com/en/subscribe-to-f1-tv-access.html#en - UK: Monthly (£2.29) or Annually (£19.99) - Race Replays (no Live Video), Live Timing. F1 TV Pro - Monthly (€7.99) or Annually (€64.99) - Live Races. F1 TV Pro is only available in certain countries. You need to appear to be in the country you subscribed from :yes: The UK is NOT one of those countries so some subterfuge is required. (Cost quoted is for Germany). I think I am going to try the Australian Service first, but F1 TV Pro sounds interesting and at under £8 a month is not too bad a price. The Annual Price is good value if it works as it is around the same price as paying for 8 individual months and the season lasts for 9 months. |

Well, I have actually subscribed to Sky Sports. No interest in any others really but got a call today and offered a set price of £12.50 a month fixed for 3 years for Sports and able to cancel at any time (so probably in December  ). Will also remove the Kids package (didn't know that was possible but is a recent change) to save £5 a month, so extra £7.50 a month to get the Racing which is ok. |

Only if it works, mine didn't, but to me it's still f**kin expensive, I'd be happy not to watch it & keep my £195

Very much the same, I don't watch any of the crap before the race, when I tape it (so 1980's) I just zap through that & only watch the race.

Sky have got an offer for the F1 Channel alone (rather than all sports) for £10/month (usual price was £18 for a single channel).
£10/month is ok I think. I am paying £15* for all sports channels but I never watch sports except motorracing so I might switch to the £10 one instead.
I actually do watch the pre and post race stuff and other bits and pieces.
*I thought it was £12.50 but turned out to be £15 as something else went down by £2.50 as well that confused the total numbers

Unfortunately it's actually £32 a month, unless you are already a customer

I spent a fair bit on sky t.v. some years ago but I won't pay them anything else! I just don't think it is necessary. To be honest, I think the BBC licence fee is outdated too and should be abolished.
I will just watch the Ch4 highlights but we all spend our money in different ways so I understand that for some the F1 channel is worth the payment

well yes- you have to have a base subscription first (I thought that would be understood and not needing stating) |

Certainly think it needs to be revised, but then again the Government would have a stupidly public enquiry run by one of their cronies which would cost a fortune, make no decisions apart from getting said crony rich, this is not aimed at any particular party, it would happen no matter which bunch of useless twunts are in power at the time.

Adverts? - no thanks. Paid for under another guise? Unfair to those who don't access the service (If you live in say Greece, or in Spain, you pay a charge that goes to Public Broadcasting within your Utilities Bill whether you use TV or not) There is this idea that only the UK has a TV license fee. In fact most countries in Europe have a Fee and I believe most are a higher levy than the UK License. |
