Watching F1 channel on Sky Go
Discussion
I don't have Sky at home and won't be getting it as i am moving out soon and my stepdad doesnt want to get sky again so i can't watch the F1 live. I have wondered if i use my friends log in details on my computer on SKY GO then i can watch the races live using his account, will this cause any problems for my friends account? Just wondering if anyone has any advice about this and if this is a good idea?
ps. obviously i can wait for the highlights later on BBC but do like to watch the races live, i am expecting the usual 'why watch that boring c**p' etc etc replies haha

i like to use the phrase "loop hole in the terms" rather than it being outside of their terms! haha
I don't forsee any problems, just wondered if they were checking ip addresses or anything like that to stop people using their service. Just don't really want to affect my friends service for my needs.

It's like saying I hate reading.

One of the biggest things I miss about going abroad is the BBC - both TV and radio shows. We should be very proud of it.

You could say the same about Nat Geo, Discovery,
Not really, they're both full of americanised crap which cannot hold a candle to the BBC's offerings in that area. Sure, if you're a little brain dead and like over dramatic factual programming which needs to jazz things up to make it interesting with stupid music, crap editing and flash camera shots I'm sure you'll lap it up, however if you like well made factual programming which lets the content speak for itself, then the BBC is king, hands down.

I like the Eddie Stobart programme on Ch.5 where they try and make reversing an Artic around a gatepost "perilous".Sure, if you're a little brain dead and like over dramatic factual programming which needs to jazz things up to make it interesting with stupid music, crap editing and flash camera shots I'm sure you'll lap it up, however if you like well made factual programming which lets the content speak for itself, then the BBC is king, hands down.
I've just noticed
Sky have the sky go app, but also the Sky Sports for iPad app. Both will let you watch the F1 and the latter has an interactive element where you can track drivers and pick which camera you want to view. Is it all the same? can you just log into that app with the sky go account?
EDIT:
Yep just signed in with my Sky ID.... got the F1 Race control window up in the Sky Sports for iPad app. I have twitter/standings feed down the right hand side. Live view in the middle, links to replays and highlights at the bottom and a selection of alternate screens to view at the top. On boards, timing screens, driver tracker. This is quite excellent.
Even more excellent is their Quad-Mix feed. a Live footage panel, onboard panel, timiming screen panel and driver tracker all on one screen.

The BBC is the best there is.
Not for F1, which I think is what this thread is about.I found out today that you can get the Sky Sports Ipad app - IIRC 4.99 monthly subscription gets you the 4 sports & F1 channels live streaming on your Ipad - worth a look I would think if you can do without the other channels & catch up that you get from Go.
Thanks for all your contributions guys, i havent been able to get on here for a while but just got some ace info off you all. I managed to stream the first race (bit naughty) and then the second one i was away so had to watch highlights on the Beeb. Not been too bad so far but may consider investing in Sky when i move out in the future.
