Has anyone got any idea how much Sky are going to try to charge ifor F1 ?
Is anyone fed up with Sky's continually pushing HD as if we are poor relatives if we don't have it ?

    If you subscribe to the full sky package it will be free. Im sure its going to be on spy sports 1 so you could have small package (tehe!) as long as you have the sky sports bit.

    There trying to sell a product, where in advertising has it ever not been incinuated that your life is of lower quality if you do not have a certain product?!

    Sky F1 is free if you have Sky Sports 1 and 2, and/or the HD pack.

    As I have the HD pack I'm a happy bunny.

    Sky f1 is only free if you have the Sports 1 and 2
    Sky f1HD is only free if you have the Sports 1 and 2 with HD pack

    if you just have the HD pack you wont be able to get it

    Not true, from Sky F1 site -
    Sky Sports F1™HD is free to full Sky Sports customers and to Sky HD subscribers

    And from the press release -
    The dedicated channel will be provided at no extra charge to all Sky TV customers who take both Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 or the HD pack of channels. It will be found at 408 in Sky's on-screen guide, after a scheduled move of the Sky Sports channels. Sky Sports viewers without the Sky+HD pack will receive a standard definition version

    I queried this with Sky, who confirmed having only the HD pack qualified you to get F1 HD.
    I was suspicious and was smarting at not getting PBS.

    I see they have their own Twitter feed @SkySportF1

    Indeed, the good old Bait and Hook model continues to reel in the punters.
