They, not Virgin, bought the rights to F1 and have at least the right to profit from that by keeping the hd variant as an exclusive to themselves to drive new subs. Hd is one of Sky's few plus points, after all-no sense in losing your best selling point by giving it to your competitor. At one point I had a fear we wouldn't see this channel on Virgin at all. Keeping all versions of Sky Atlantic exclusive was maybe a little petulant, but I think we're reaching the end of that particular issue.

It is about time for a XXL TV pack for people prepaired to pay more for missing channels like Sky Sports F1 HD!

Why do you always assume that it Virgins fault. Sky wll never allow VM to have ALL of the Sky channels. How else are Sky going to keep any competative advantage?

Until the media companies are forced to get rid of the transmission element of their business Sky will always do this

Well they've missed the start of the Nascar season so i suspect not unless theyre targeting Rugby League. Rumours are rumours and based on thin air usually.

Sky Sports HD 3,4, Sky Sports F1 HD, are only for Sky Viewers.

Bliss, Channel AKA, Chart show tv, Clubland tv, Dance Nation tv, Flava, Greatest Hits, Massive r and b - We have Music on Demand if we want music.

VM should just accept that Sky will overcharge (because they can) and put them on a XXL pack for people prepaired to pay!
