HD : F1 on Sky Sports

[HD Boy]

do you think F1 will be on Sky Sports HD3 or Sky Sports HD4 and hopefully Virgin Media might get Sky Sports HD3 and Sky Sports HD4 in march 2012

[Jameseh]

Sky Sports HD 5

I think they will put it on HD1 if it's a big thing for them, although with all the sport they already have I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on Sport 3HD.

Do you think with all the sport Sky have that they will launch another channel.

I suspect it could well fluctuate i doubt on England test match days cricket will be on SS3 as they are usually on sky sports 1/2,and of course football will be on sky sports one on F1 days on sundays,but if its championship football they could well move it.

So i think F1 may well be on SS3 but not for all races.

Ofcom does nothing if no-one complains and no.

BT don't even have 3 or 4 and obviously don't look to pursue the matter and VM agreed the deal to have HD1 and HD2 so I don't really see what complaint they could have. Also Ofcom take years (at least) to come to a decision and they're not there to be VM's mam everytime big brother Sky refuses to give them one of their toys.

We nearly have every Sky service except Atlantic and HD versions of Sky Sports 3/4/News, at this point I don't really see why Sky should sell those to VM unless they're offering an amount that is unrefusable.

By "agreed the deal" I assume you mean "took the only thing available to them as ofcom have only mandated that Sky must offer SS1 and 2 in HD and they're free to withhold 3 and 4 still".

As I will never buy SKY Sports in order to see a race that will surely end up full of advert breaks due to the poor take up, I think the should have been an option in your vote for the likes of me and many others who will not sign up.

[HD Boy]

they will be no adverts during the race

It will end up mostly on HD 1 or HD 2 and more than likely Sky 3D.

So on this assumption I suppose if Sky show F1 in 3D they will also have to offer Sky 3D to VM and BT
