I used my brothers details last year to use Sky Player on my Xbox, but his HD subscription has run out and now F1 is part of the Sports package only not HD, so even he can't get it!
Really miss the days of being able to just turn on BBC/ITV and watch it all for free.
I haven't got Sky Sports but I have got HD and I can still watch the F1
Problem is my brother was given a deal to have the HD package for free for 6 months, so we got the F1 channel, now that deal has finished.
Sky announced the other week, that new customers or people who now don't have the HD package, will have to take out the Sports package to get the F1 channel. All customers who still have the HD package will keep the F1 channel.
Apparently Sky bosses are not to impressed with the amount of money it costs to cover F1 throughout the year and the viewing figures are awful. Look at last night peak times figures ;
17:45 to 20:00 - 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix: 2k
20:00 to 21:00 - F1 Show: 26k
21:00 to 23:05 - FP1: 13k
23:05 to 25:10 - FP2: 9k
So a average of just 12,500 people watched the channel yesterday evening.
