Have you upgraded to get Sky F1?

[Butter Face]

Just completed my upgrade online for an extra £10.25pm. Totally worth it IMO

Small price to pay to be able to watch HD uninterrupted coverage of all of the races.







Also. £50 M&S voucher when you upgrade online. That buys alcohol to drink whilst watching F1. Awesome.

No worries - got this sorted.

I made the radical step of doing a Google search.

You're not Rupert M by any chance?

Nope ....I refuse to give that slimey disgusting man one penny of my hard earned

Forunately I don't think I need to, we have the full sports package anyway and currently have the F1 channel there when I flick through the sports channels, but just a screen saver thing at the moment.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Sky do, I know they'll be showing all the practice sessions, I wonder if they'll show support races too?

Yes, they're showing the GP2 and GP3 races live .

We didn't need to upgrade our package.

I'm really looking forward to the channel starting.

Nope, won't be watching F1 this year.

I wish I could but our flat is in an old Victorian school so we haven't got Sky installed only Virgin. I upgraded to HD last year for the F1 and am gutted can't have it HD now. Luckily I've got a spare Sky Go login off a family member so will be watching it SD online.

Right - I have regular sky so what will it cost me to get F1?

[Eric Mc]

There are TWO threads covering all these points in the General Motorsport Forum.

OK THANKS

BUT how MUCH will it cost?

You need either the HD pack OR Sky Sports, so for you the cheapest option would be £10.25 extra per month to upgrade to the HD pack.

Perfect - thanks.
£125ish a year to watch 6 bloody races...

Not sure which of the large group that fit that description you're talking about, but I completely agree with you.

Cheaper than going to the British Grand Prix and you'll see a damn site more...

Few weeks to decide...
I suppose Sky never do much quickly either.

There are a whole range of prices depending on where you are starting from. The cheapest options are for those who are already Sky customers and want to upgrade to HD so they can watch F1.

The most expensive options are for those who are using the purely terrestrial/digital channels and would have to go the whole hog and get a Sky dish, box and HD service. That is more in the region of £400 - which is extortionate for the priveledge of just being able to watch 10 races live. Indeed, many people may not be in a position to watch all of these ten races live anyway due to holidays, family commitments etc.

Somewhere in between are the Virgin customers who CAN pay extra to get the Sky F1 live but NOT in HD and ONLY of they are willing to pay for the entire Sky Sports Package - which many will not want.

Murdoch is an expert at screwing people over and the screwing process for his F1 coverage began months before the first F1 race.

For me, nome of it is worth it and I think those who are paying £400 plus for the opprtunity of watch ten live races are either die hard F1 fanatics or mugs.

Nope, not a chance I will either...
