BBC 1 + HD Formula 1 on Sky

    When the Formula 1 coverage is on every other weekend, and they're announcing the coverage, they always say "on BBC 1 + HD".

    But when I go to watch the BBC 1 HD on the Sunday for the grand prix it's never on, just the "BBC HD preview", which means I haven't got to see one yet in HD.

    They do have the highlights on at 7pm in HD, but it's just not the same as live.

    Anybody know why this is? Is it something blocked in Ireland?

    Thanks :)

    More than likely you are watching the BBC HD channel and not BBC1 HD which you must add to other channels if you are watching on Sky.

    BBC One HD is a different channel to BBC HD and it is not on the Irish Sky EPG. You will need to access it via Other Channels. It is however available on the UPC EPG.

    Ah ok, I get ye, thanks :)

    I was watching BBC HD channel, no. 143 on Sky, and wondering why I couldn't get the F1 in HD.

    So other channels it is to see it in HD.

    Would it kill them to show this on BBCHD?:(

    I can't always watch it live and it would be nice to record it.
