Sky F1 over the 'net?

[Jimbo.]

I've cracked. Despite my initial opposition, I'm now prepared to give Murdoch my money to watch F1. Sunday afternoons just won't be the same otherwise.

BUT.

I live in a houseshare. I can't install a Sky dish nor do we want the stuff that comes with it (we don't watch enough TV). Do Sky offer a service wherein you pay a subscription and get to watch the F1 over the 'net only? The Sky website seems to offer complete (i.e. with dish, box etc) packages.

Have a look at Sky Go.

When you have a sky subscription you can also use sky anytime to watch on laptop/mobile devices. But you need the proper subscription to get teh accesss for that. There's no "net only" option I know of. Do you have a friend who has a sky id?

I think you can buy Skygo on a pay per view basis.

Looks like that is the case but it says "subscribers only" for Sky Sports and some others.

There is of course another very easy way to watch, although watching in HD(ish) will be more difficult. I'm hopeful, but it's hard to say at this point if it will be available consistently, a certain person may make it available as they do with the football.

It's rebranded as Sky Go these days. It was Sky Player on PC and Xbox before. Sky Anytime is on the Sky box.

Look at Sky Go monthly ticket.
