SKY are that miserable you can be sure if they do televise the F1 it will be 1) PPV or 2)Another sub increase.

Sky has nothing to do with F1 Digital. Mr. E shut down Bernievision last year. Although you could be right about the cost, I think Sky where charing more than other European satellite carriers for watching F1 Digital. The only way Sky could show F1 would be to negotiate access for the international feed and ITV may be a ickle miffed about that.

ITV's Coverage????
Bring Back the BBC Coverage I say!!!! Or at least being in a decent commentator - James Allen is Crap.
Ben Edwards (Old Eurosport F1 Commentator) would have been a much better Murray replacement!!

He is even on ITV now doing BTCC with Granada Sport.

Personally, I thought the Rosenthal, Jardine, Brundle & Murray coverage was a laugh!

Those guys used to crack me up.

There was something very sad about how good they thought they were

Murray: "(insert superlative quip here)"
Martin: "You're right there, Murray"


(sorry, far too much F1:97 played)

There are two rumours circulating regarding coverage of F1.

First. Bernievision may come back to sky, but that all hinges on if he can fit all the digital broadcasting equipment on one boeing 747 , as opposed to the four it currently takes.

Second. Is that BBC outbid UTV for the coverage for next season..... so we wait..............:cool:

Thanks all. Answered my question and then some. I Personally think the ITV Coverage is far better than anything else I have seen, but then that is limited to RTE and South African Coverage. Ad breaks never used to bother me at all, as RTE and ITV would usually have their breaks at different times, so a simple switch was all that was required
