There's going to be no live sport left on terrestrial television soon. Just awful news, and proves that nobody can compete with the powerhouse of Sky.

And it also shows that the license fee doesn't go far enough. All those that bemoan it saying why should we have to pay it in this day and age will see more and more content going to heavily advertised and/or subscriptions channels.

Oh and good old sky not putting prices up this year. They only made £1bn profit in the last year.

Not at all, but people wonder why the terrestrial channels can't compete. Of course they could just sack all their "stars" like Chris Moyles and Graham Norton and save a bucket load. No one would miss them.

Just saw the adverts for F1 on sky. Now I don't have HD, and have no intention, so do you reckon I'll still ge the channel but just in normal definition, or is it a HD thing only?

If you have Sky Sports 1 & 2 you get it. If you have HD you get it. If not then you have to pay extra, but since these 'races' are becoming more akin to high-speed processions I can't see anyone wanting to do that, regardless of how much Sky push it.

cheers :)

I've got all of sky, but even if I didn't I very much doubt I'd be paying extra to watch F1!

I've got the whole SkyHD pack, broadband the lot; But on a side note it was paradise watching the cup final on Sunday on the Beeb. No ad breaks, and no Martin Bloody Tyler.

Lawrenson, Hansen, Lineker and Alan '2 x 4' Shearer though.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it's HD only, so if you've not got Sky HD (and a sub to SS1 and SS2) you're not watching F1!

EDIT: I was wrong, it's on Sky channel 459 ....
