Yes i do understand the concorde agreement for F1.

But principally my main concern is free to air live coverage,not re-broadcast highlights shows.

The point i was trying to make about skys chequebook was that they will buy the live free to air coverge (when its next fully up for negotiation)leaving free to air with a highights package only.
