Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

thanks for posting that i will post the quote they use which is "The channel, which will broadcast for the entirity of the nine-month F1 season from next year, will be available to subscribers to Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, and to non-sports customers who subscribe to its HD services. Sky Sports subscribers without HD will receive a standard definition version."

as this is the case surely VM should get it for free?

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

indeed, VM have already said they are talking to Sky. See post #34

it will be a while before VM will annouce if they are getting the channel or not and if so which verison and package

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

I personally think Sky will allow VM to add the channel on the basis of being free to VM Sky sports subscribers , but I can't see it being included as part of the XL , Sky are using the HD pack offer as a way of getting 10.25 revenue to those who don't want Sky Sports also a pretty good way of attracting new subscribers.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

I won't be jumping ship to Sky just for this.
Yes, I like watching F1.
Yes, I am seriously p'd off with the BBC/Sky deal.
No, I won't give any cash to Sky.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

i think if they do that it its silly as not alot people will want the sports sub just to get F1. I dont see why they wont do what they have done for Sky 1 and Sky 1 HD and put it in the XL pack

i am already sub'ed to SS pack but my dad for example would like to watch it but doesnt have SS pack and doesnt want it

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

I would agree with that!

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

Virgin may be arguing that very point at the moment.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

I agree however look at it from business point of view. Can you really see Sky allowing VM to add F1 HD into XL at a cost of around 25.00 a month when there own customers would have to pay 20.00 for entertainment pack plus HD pack totalling 30.25 therefore giving VM the more attractive deal.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

I do not mind paying extra for Sky Sports F1 HD (but not for Sky Sports F1 SD)

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

And how much extra would you pay.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

i see your point but we pay less than them for Sky1 and sky 1 HD (i think) same as sky arts so you never know

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

£10 to £20 maybe

A fool and his money are soon parted.:)

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
 

Your profile says your a Sky Sports subscriber on VM , why would you want to pay more :confused: it should be free for VM Sky Sports subscribers as it is with Sky.
