    Yep - did this too, do not miss sky channels one bit.
    All the ITV's - all the BBC's, regionals and all if you want then, BBC Red Button channel for awsome coverage of winter olympics
    All the C4's and sister channels.
    Loads of news stations,
    It must be aid loads of crap channels -Rishty, Takbeer, propellor, just delete them ones.
    Any pay nothing per month!

    Stopped subbing to Sly during the Videocrypt days --- where I live on the Wales coast I have an aerial for Saorview and as a back up, Saorsat.
    Not a footy fan so don't miss that --- but I am annoyed that MotoGP has moved to BT but it will still be available free to air via Sport 1 19E although the commentary will not be in English.
    Eurosport is also available FTA on 19E although also not in English.
    Regards

    Don't know about MotoGP, but I used to use ORF for HD Formula 1 and BBC radio 5 for commentary.

    Yes it's a pain that all the coverage has gone to BT --- I used to record the "red button" for the Moto2 and 3 .
    Never mind --- where there's a will there's a way !! ;);) !!

    Hi, what equipment are you using to get F! HD please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Oscarziggy


    I don't have HD equipement but I watched F1 via RTL Television on 19E.
    The adverts drive you mad though !!
    Not sure if it's the F1 that interrupts the ads or the ads that interrupt the F1.!!

    @Inbox
    I was using a Technomate box aimed at 19° for video and a HTPC aimed at 28° for audio. It was a messy arrangement as you needed to pause the audio to compensate for a delay of about 1 sec. Not suitable for everyday/family use.
