If they do send camera's to Spain for the tests then it won't be shown until the channel is launched in March I wouldn't think.
What you have to remember when you compare the channels with their advertising is that one
(Sky) has more opportunity to advertise than the other. The BBC only have slots in between programmes whereas Sky fill their schedule with ad breaks. The BBC have many other programmes to plug with what they have available. I've only seen one advert for the new F1 channel and that was on Pick TV on freeview, but I can apprecaite Sky subscribers will see them alot more often.
