F1 on sky

50Twuncle

I see that Sky is now showing F1 on channel 407 (sky sport mix) as well as F1 - will this mean that I can dump HD (Which I only subscribed to, to get F1 for free) - and save my HD sub (£6) or is it only available in HD ?
Also - if I cancel HD - Will I still get all of the freeview channels in HD - For free ?

It only for a few GP's when CH4 as also showing live. When CH4 are time delayed F1 will not be on Sky Sports Mix on a Sunday though Friday and Saturday sessions maybe.

No Freeview channels on satellite they are terrestrial. FTA HD channels are free not subscription.

Sky Sports Mix won't show all the F1, this weekend for the Italian Grand Prix they're taking the qualifying on the Saturday and the Sunday build-up but not the main race itself.

If you want all the F1, stay where you are. After, I think, 2019 Sky F1 will be the only place for all the action.

Are you saying it's coming off normal TV?

Whatever you don don't give up your HD sub! You'll never get it back and if you later decide you want to watch F1 once sky have it excusively you'll have to take out the full Sky Sports package.

Ours got taken off 'by mistake', we never got it back.

Sadly it is going to subscription only. (Sky F1).

I thought that Sky had claimed that they were going to offer F1 on a free channel ?
In which case, surely - it will be available to anyone with the hardware, for free ?
