    I hooked my laptop through my tv and watched the bloodzeed sopcast link of the sky hd feed from http://www.wiziwig.tv/index.php?part=sports

    It was also on

    http://www.coolsportz.de/

    and as above it would have been on firstrowsports.

    all of these links are free. Be a little careful what you accept on firstrowsports as a friend got a virus from accepting a dodgy download.

    The sopcast link needs sopcast downloading but the coolsportz uses flash

    Much as I wanted to dislike the BBC highlights this weekend they were not to bad. A few different commentators which will take some getting used to and not listening to radio or tv till its on. Anyone who tells me the result is DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Veetle.com had the Sky F1 stream :)

    I loaded it onto my iphone and then mirrored it to my apple TV and watched it like normal...

    Stopped raining in the pit lane. Will be a great race if it does rain during. I fancy Schmy for a podium, he must be able to smell it now.

    Great quality on line.

    I'm watching both, Vipbox Sky streaming and Swiss RTL via satellite - the Sky streaming is ahead of RTL by about 20 seconds. Strange.

    I am not able to erect a dish were I live (private estate), is the Swiss RTL via satellite free?
    Do you get a chance to see a lot oF programmes that would normally be subscription in the UK?

    Yes, RTL is free. You have a choice of either Swiss RTL (13ºE) hotbird satellite) or German RTL (19ºE astra satellite) - my dish is pointing towards hotbird, but I'm thinking of getting another LNB to add astra feed.

    Yes, there are about 10 good quality channels available through hotbird (both German and French) including some English/French/German/Spanish football games, F1, oscars, etc. The real challenge is finding them since I don't check their schedules regularly, I watch something maybe once a month. Astra satellite is much better though, about 10 FTA French and 20 German. Sometimes there is also English audio channel available.

    These are the satellites with free F1 live visible in UK:
    - Abu Dhabi Sports 2 (26E & 7W - FTA)
    - Rossiya 2 (96.5E & 49E - FTA)
    - RTL Deutschland (19.2E - FTA)
    - RTL Schweiz (13E - FTA)
    - TF1 Suisse (9E - FTA)
    - Vizion Plus (16E - FTA)
    - RAI Uno (13E - FTA/TivuSat)
