1201994 2011-05-14 10:18:00 I get the sports channels and my bill is increasing by .49 cents a week from June. I only get the sports channels to watch F1.

Thats dedication to F1. If only they were as dedicated decent racing. Monaco is next right? That has been a snore for years.

Its about time we had a dedicated motor racing channel like what they have in the states

EDIT: Just to watch F1 is value for money i reckon :)

1201998 2011-05-14 22:40:00 Gosh ! I'll get 49c too. I agree about dedicated channels I just cant understand if they can have a dedicated Sci fi channel overseas whats so hard about us getting it here. Mind you I also realise that we are really only a tag on to Aussie sky.
One last rant - Sky doesn't seem to care about customer loyalty. Been with them since 98, all we get is a piddily 1 free movie a year, wow $7. Did ask them last time I rang about giving free Mysky to long term customers, that was a fail. Ah well, the joys of being a monopoly I spose.

1201999 2011-05-14 23:12:00 I suppose the next thing they will come up with is to force everyone with the basic decoder like me onto Mysky.

One of the organisers of F1 are trying to get F1 off of the payware channels and onto the free channels so it is able to be viewed by a bigger audience. Hope that happens here so I can get rid of sky.

Here's the interesting thing about F1 - we don't get the full F1 show, if you look around for BBC streams there's about an hour worth of talk/interviews/etc before the race starts, we miss all of that.

F1 will never be off paid channels till that midget is gone, even then it won't happen anytime soon.

(Have you seen that ugly man-like Aussie gal that's his successor? :yuck:)

I would totally drop Sky if I could get a LEGAL F1 stream - I'm more than happy to pay a reasonable amount for it too.

1202001 2011-05-15 16:47:00 All have been hoodwinked if you read closely, yes the basic package is dropping a little. But the Sports package is increasing $7 it only looks like small increase due to them decreasing the basic package. apsattv (7406)
1202002 2011-05-17 08:29:00 $7! I only get the Sports channels to watch WSBK, Motogp and sometimes F1 and GP2 so I drop it during our summer months. bellbird (6169)
