When I spoke with TVL she said that she…

View Sky F1 via BT TV
BT are offering me a TV package which includes Sky F1. I believe this comes through NOW TV. Is this the same as watching it on the Sky F1 dedicated channel. Or do they only cover the main event and not all the pre and post race programmes associated with a F1 weekend ?
