Hi Guys,

I see that this weekends F1 is not on BBC HD.

How can I get BBC1 HD. I bought a HD box just for this !!

recyclebin · 25-03-2011 4:45pm

You proabably need to tune it in manually.

Freq:10847
Polarization:V
Symbol Rate: 22000

What kind of box do you have? You will get a better response in the satellite forum.

Can you record on that channel?

No :-(

This channel often shows complete programmes without scheduling it on d Skybox for some reason so i'm in the "Its gonna work out okay" brigade for de mo.

Lordhumphreys · 26-03-2011 3:11am

Any ideas on this for UPC users?

buttersbrady · 26-03-2011 4:04am

Hopefully it's on BBC HD Lordhumphreys, or you're in trouble. Is it not possible to tune in additional channels on the UPC box?

Shay Vader · 26-03-2011 5:37am

Its on!!

Frank Bullitt · 26-03-2011 2:11pm

Its says on the timetable for the TV tomorrow that programs dont start till 2.00pm and the re-run is at 1.00pm on the normal channel, **** sake BBC.

DOes the HD channel start earlier or is it the sky box acting the bollox?

robinph · 26-03-2011 3:15pm

The HD channel listings are often just showing as "preview" on Virgin cable in the UK as well, especially for the likes of the F1 when it's the first thing on in the morning. Someone just can't be bothered to get up in the mornings and sort out the listings.

Frank Bullitt · 26-03-2011 8:32pm

Setanta HD on UPC

bibi-phoque · 26-03-2011 10:13pm

Can anybody confirm that the F1 will be on BBC HD (UPC) tomorrow morning even though it says "BBC HD Preview"?

Frank Bullitt · 26-03-2011 10:51pm

Sweet done, ill watch the re-run at 1 tomorrow, until then lads.

batman2000 · 12-04-2011 9:20pm

Just bringing back this thread, has anyone been able to watch the F1 on BBC HD (Sky 143) as it would be great to be able to record it on HD and not have to get up early for the some of the races..? Is it Sky or the BBC?

robinph · 12-04-2011 9:44pm

There was a problem with the sync during the race last weekend. Was a BBC problem as they admitted it during the coverage, but the HD was out for longer after the regular channel was back working.

I went to record the race on Sky143 and all I got was HD Preview.? I was watching the BBD SD and they sync was out for a while.

Were you watching the F1 race on BBC HD Sky143?

robinph · 12-04-2011 10:29pm

Nah, I've got it on cable.

ro_chez · 13-04-2011 8:50am

I just signed up with UPC there last week and was considering upgrading to the HD box, mainly just for F1.

Can anyone tell me what commentators Setanta are using for their coverage?

donspeekinglesh · 13-04-2011 2:11pm

I think they're using the BBC feed.

Sky HD channel 143 is BBC HD. That's not showing the GP. BBC have another HD channel, called BBC One HD. This is as it says on the tin, a HD version of BBC One. However you can only get it with the Sky HD box by going in to Add Channels and tuning it in to your "Other Channels" list. Therefore you can't record from it.
Anything that's on BBC One will be on BBC One HD (with the small exception of a few programs). BBC Two and BBC HD are seperate channels which sometimes share programs, but mostly don't anymore.
So to sum up, if you want to record F1 via your Sky box, you have to suffer SD.
If you are watching live, then go to your Other Channels for BBC One HD!
