    Yep, we have a big 42 plasma TV and the picture quality was much improved this week, absolutely equal to any other non-HD channel. And last week we were thankful to have it at all and it was certainly acceptable enough.

    Thumbs up again to Open Access TV - thanks guys, whoever you are!

    I'm not trying to nit-pick but it's 1080, lol

    but yes, this weeks coverage was a vast improvement on last week, although my sky+hd box stopped recording at 10 even though the race wasn't over. i think i'll be setting a manual record for it every week now to cater for any over-run.

    Geek Alert LOL, I banish you to the F1 nerds stand.

    It's fine, my 50" something on the wall looked fine with the magic box that is connected to a dish of somesort. I am still amazed how they get the little blue circle to go round in circles.

    Not got a Sky box so no open access for me

    However, how bad is that one hour highlight show? Random jumps it seems - no sense of continuity at all........

    I agree Colinspooky. The first half hour is very random, just showing bits and pieces. It's like it builds up to the last two dozen laps which then get shown in with no jumps.

    I suppose the highlights are better than nothing.

    With so many channels going off air overnight, you would think they could show it ALL through the night so we could at least record it

    Cool

    A quick question to my friends across the pond...

    I'm trying to clean up the page a little, we have way to many "sticky items" at the top of the page. I'm trying to gauge just how interested y'all are at keeping this stuck at the top of the page, or would you mind if I unstuck it like a normal thread.

    I realize I could just do it, but I really wanted your thoughts since this thread exists specifically for our British friends.

    Cheers

    Given that most of the people in here are UK based, and that we have tv coverage set for this year, I'd be happy for it to be unstickified. Pressing the next page button to get at this thread isn't that tricky after all!
