    Every F1 race broadcast live on BBC Radio Five Live, better pictures too.

    BTW Who got Kimi to smile?

    Pictures on the Radio?

    Don't suppose they're "moving" pictures?

    Agree with penryhn, radio pictures are always better.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    time4tv is live on the internet channel 16

    More info required - had a quick look and initial response was to step away.

    Full of pop-up's and appears to want to download P2P software.

    Sky HD is £5 per month for 6 months Then £10.25 for 3 months so £60:75 for the season pay for your mum's HD..

    So let me get this straight, you want a stream for the F1 to avoid you having to pay for it and when you do find an (illegal) stream you then complain that its full of popups and P2P?

    Seriously, if you're that much of a fan cough up, if you won't then don't expect the crisp HD transmissions that were on my recorder box this morning when I awoke.

    That does seem to be my best option, but it is convincing my mum to do this. I am happy to pay for the HD pack, would prefer to pay half as she will be benefiting from all the HD channels (she has an HDTV) and the Sky+ service (she currently has an old non-HD non-plus box), but I am willing to pay for all of it if necessary.

    Last year I paid my brother half of the HD Pack fee for the F1, he has now moved to Canada so I can longer do this.

    People with satellites have been able to tune into the RTL signals in the past with an English commentary from 5-Live.

    I have no qualms in paying my mum to get the HD pack, as I said above. Admittedly I would like to do it on the same grounds I did it with my brother, where I pay half, but I am willing to pay the entire £10.25pcm.

    What I am not happy to do is pay Virgin Media £25.75pcm for the entire Sky Sports collection when I only want and will only watch the F1 channel.

    I don't give a toss about HD as I do not have an HD TV.

    Could you link to that specific deal?

    So far, of the 6 deals I can find, only 1 looks like it would be eligible, and that is only £25
