I can't imagine Wimbledon being on anything other than the BBC - think that would be the one thing they would always fight for.

My friend was talking to Eddie Jordan after a seminar in Trinity College, Dublin a few weeks ago. They talked briefly about the F1 TV situation and he said that he would not go to Sky but that Martin Brundle was. Take what you want from it: I'll be disappointed not to see Eddie on the TV as I liked his character (even though he's flawed in many ways) but I'm also happy that he seems to be demonstrating his dislike for the new deal, if indeed this is his own choice to not go.
Well we don't yet know if commentary is likely to be shared or not.
Just found this forum, and this is a fitting thread to start on.Quote:

Sky only said that there would be no adverts 'next year' so in 2013 you will be bombarded with adverts,
You will be paying £400-£600 to be advertised to.

I'd be pretty pissed to pay all that and still have to watch adverts. Mind you it's not like I'm going to pay anyway.
Has anyone looked at Sky Go? If like me you don't have / want / can't afford Sky Sports but crucially know someone who does have Sky Sports then you can register two 'devices' such as iPhones etc (not sure if real computers too?) with the Sky Go service which will allow you to watch live Sky Sports.
Currently my in-laws are Sky Sports subscribers so presumably if I could persuade them to give me their login details I could watch F1 on my iPhone (or iPad if I get one!).
It's not the same as a proper TV, but better than nowt I guess.
Sky Go is superb. It allows me to access all the Sky channels I subscribe to anywhere I have a suitable broadband access. I can access it through my Laptop and plug it straight into the TV.
I used the Sky Go priciple back in 2007 when belt tightening was required due to the cost of my then mortgage - I rang up Sky and told them where to Go!!! :D
I'll never go back, there was too much tut on the box then, and I get just as much tut on freeview without it costing me an arm, leg and a lung.
Watch Live TV app for iphone and ipad, got RTL (that guy with the crazy shirts that is not Eddie Jordan and Nicky Lauda), but it does crash a lot with the app i've got,Quote:
