I know this may have been asked before somewhere. But, is there anywhere I can watch the Australian F1 live this Sunday without having SKY?

Just wondered if it would be online anywhere etc.

Cheers

At a pub with sky / mates with sky?

I'm fairly certain there is not other legal way to watch it live (the highlight are on the BBC), and i don't know of any less then legal way either.

I'd've thought as it's middle-of-the-night-o'clock it's one of the better ones to 'catch up' with on BBC.

But as the 'first of the season' its one you do actually want to watch in full.

So are there any websites that will show it live, so I can watch it on the iPad and therefore on my TV via an Apple TV box thingy....

From the Beebs website:

The BBC will be providing live coverage of 10 races in the 2012 Formula 1 season across all its platforms.

For the remainder, there will be extended highlights on television and full live coverage on radio and online, including audio commentary.

Are there any foreign websites that will be broadcasting it, in the way that the premiership is broadcast on the net ?

I'll be using this with Radio 5 commentary if I can't get my Sisters SkyGo working for me.

Also found www.flashsportstreams.tv but it does cost, something like $40 per year.

I'm using my Dad's SkyGo on my iPad. It stopped working a few weeks ago because they started checking for Jailbroken devices, but I found a work-around.

I'll be watching it on Supersports 2 via satellite.

One of the luxuries of being stuck on a drilling rig off the coast of Angola.

RTL worked pretty well last year (I started checking it once the Sky deal was announced) so that's what I'll be doing. So on Sunday morning I'll be sat in bed with the TV on showing the BBC red button coverage of I guess a leaderboard and driver tracker, a laptop showing the RTL coverage, and my other laptop to look at twitter/live timing/Internet Memes etc.

I tried th RTL feed for today's qualifying but the stream wouldn't load (spinning buffer thingy)... Anyone else have this problem? Or, dare I ask, is there an alternative....?
