Anyway I hope we get this in HD. |
For some reason it's not linking from the Customer News Page. It's a link we've been advised to give customers who enquire about the channel.
Might be one for BenMcr to pick up?

See, this is exactly the sort of info which VM should be providing via TiVo's message service.
Don't send the customers to the message. Send the message to the customers.

Is it in Customer News on TiVo? I haven't checked, but there is a Help portal with a news section.
I could see customers complaining though about getting messaged to their TiVo direct (you know the kind!  ) ... although I do think it's a good idea

In TiVo style:
Couple of messages a week with pertinent news would do no harm at all. That's why the feature is there, after all.

This poor list should give VM even more incentive to get the SS F1 channel on a free deal and not tied to a SS subcription, if I can see lots of unhappy people moving to Sky due to the BBC screw over. With over 10 million avarage viewers per race in the last 2 seasons it's a lot of potential customers to loose to Sky if VM don't get a decent carriage deal all for penny pinching.

And VM better get both SD and HD versions of Sky Sports F1 HD

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
Sky Sports F1 3D anyone?
Just saw this on Twitter
Hi Andrew the 2012 season will not be broadcast in 3D unfortunately, further seasons are still to be confirmed though.
Would not suprise me if Sky get the 3D coverage in the future.

I will not pay a single penny more for F1HD channel! I bet you Virgin users will get shafter with the SD version.

Re: SKY F1 HD Channel, Any Chance?
If VM don't add Sky F1 then F1 can F-itself. Don't be under any illusion that Sky are in control here. The wrinkled, money-grabbing old hand of Bernie Ecclestone is pulling the strings here. He gets to decide who sees it and for how much.
If he doesn't want UK F1 audience figures to drop through the floor he needs to make a few calls.
I think he knew all along that Sky would broadcast their races on a channel other than Sky Sports so that it has a wider reach. When the deal was announced he said Sky has 10 million subscribers...they may do, but only a couple of million of those take SS. He knew what was happening and Ithink the silly old duffer let a small cat out of the bag there.

No Canada or Australia on the BBC, what a shame.
