I suppose you could almost say as a subscriber that you're getting value for money.

British Eursoprt will cease on 19 east when Analouge gets switched off, will only be the German version then as I understand it. Not found Sport1, will have to have a look again.

They say that SSN will have a "presence" at the tests. Not sure what that means...I guess it is good that they will be at car launches, but is there really an interest for the tests being covered? Martin Brundle talked about Sky F1 being for the "dedicated fan" but the dedicated fan knows that testing times are completely meaningless. As shown by last year when Ferrari on paper looked a good bet for the title.

I won't be watching any of it, but I'm intrigued to know what they will talk about for 6 days around each Grand Prix.

Finally...I doubt Sky would ever release the figures but I wonder if there will be any noticeable increase in Sky Sports subscriptions as a result of the F1 deal.

Testing isn't just about lap times. But, in any event, it will just be nice to be able to watch F1 cars during testing.

Don't forget Sky also makes a fortune from selling subscriptions to Sky Sport to publicans at very high prices. They are currently discounting heavily in this area including the fact that they are "The new home of F1".

All this promotion comes of course at a time when an EU Court ruling on their Football broadcast monopoly went against them and a UK High Court decision on whether to ratify that is expected on Feb 24th.

Any copyright issues resolved then will effect consumers too, so I wouldn't subscribe just yet unless you have Sky already because you may well find you can do it cheaper through a foreign broadcaster, or they will be forced to discount further.

Personally I'm watching Ben on the Beeb.....

Nothing confirmed, but I have heard rumours it might be on red button on the F1 channel. I'm very keen to know for sure though.

Having watched the coverage of the McLaren launch yesterday on SSN, I was quite impressed with the level of coverage it got.

A 5 minute live teaser from outside in the hour leading up to it, and the full 12-15 minutes of coverage as it actually happened.

I am still not quite sure whether this was sponsor driven or not, but will just have to wait and see what coverage the other teams get. I suspect we wont see quite as much of the other cars. And yes, the fact it was hosted by the new Sky Sports F1 Presenter may have helped the level of coverage received.

Personally I can't wait for the channel to launch, we have been able to tighten our belts enough to get Sky and can do so to get the HD package now too.
I'm sure the Sky coverage will be fantastic and a lot more in depth than the 'matey' dumbed down BBC version.

This is most definitely not a plug for Sky, but I thought you might like to see this about their team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ksCw...ature=youtu.be

I haven't finally decided what I want to do this season. Play it by ear probably, since Sky is an available option for me, but I really want to support Ben Edwards. It may well be BBC when live otherwise Sky live. I take Brundle's point about needing to see the races live.
