time you buy the apple rubbish, cheaper to get Sky
Forza Ferrari
I was thinking of doing this but I'm not sure if the F1 channel will actually get added on to it since we are effectively getting pay per view instead of having to sign up for 12 months and with Sky you can never be sure.
But if this is the case then I will be downloading this app and if the app allows it you can also connect the phone to a tv via HDMI to watch it on the big screen but I can't see Sky letting that happen but will definitely keep an eye on this.
The crucial thing is that the f1 channel gets added to the Sky Sports TV app then alot of us with iPhones will be saving alot of money. Did you speak to someone from Sky who said this app would get the channel?

Brilliant cheers mate hope its true
ek583 is probably right about the DRM, if Sky allowed AirPlay they would effectively be shooting their bussiness model in the foot. Because a bunch customers would switch from there more expensive packages to just streaming this app to their tv for only a tenner a month. But I think eventually someone will find some sort of work around.

Huh? The BBC are only doing coverage for half a season?
At least do the whole season, or don't do a season at all. It just looks to haphazard...I hope though that it will stay free-to-air in Australia, even if it means putting up with ads (which I already have to)
Mark Webber: "If you push to try and pass you kill the tyres but if you wait, then you find you're on the same strategy and finish behind them anyway".
Will there be any live streams avaialble on race day and free practice does anyone know or is it too early to ask? I have Sky but can not upgrade as in Europe!!
A good option that you should consider is getting a satellite which shows tv from abroad, as i got a german satellite which shows german programs including rtl which shows every f1 race for free and live. Also i am sure other countries must show f1 live for free as well, the satellite that i got was about 90 quid which is a good price as you won't have to ever pay any subscriptions.
Yeah, a friend of mine has done just that. Got her own dish, tuned it into RTL, and will be listening to 5Live along with it.
Forza Jules
Damon Hill joins Sky's coverage of Formula 1 for 2012 season
By Jonathan Noble Tuesday, January 17th 2012, 10:15 GMT
Damon Hill is to join Sky's coverage of Formula 1 this year to help provide expert analysis of the action for half the races.
The former world champion will be a member of Sky's team for the Australian, Bahrain, Monaco, British, German, Hungarian, Belgian, Indian, United States and Brazilian Grands Prix.
Speaking about his new job, Hill said: "The plans Sky Sports have for Formula 1 are very impressive, particularly the dedicated Formula 1 channel and I couldn't resist becoming involved.
"There are so many reasons to be excited about the new season and I can't wait to get started."
Hill will be on call throughout practice, qualifying and the race, with Sky Sport Executive Producer Martin Turner saying he was delighted about the addition to the team.
"Damon Hill is a British motor racing legend and has incredible Formula 1 knowledge and insight," he explained. "He will provide our viewers with not just a driver's eye view, but also that of a world champion. There aren't many around and I'm delighted we'll have Damon with us during the season."

It's impossible for it not to lose quality. It's made in a resolution for a 3.5 inch screen to fit a 960x640 resolution. Blowing that up to a 32 inch TV with a 720p or better display is going to result in significant quality loss.
Plus, not many people jailbreak their devices to get access to this mirroring app.
Not as much as you may think its curtainly not going to be HD but its definitely watchable you can read all the small text from a distance which is good enough for me (depending on the app curtain ones will upscale the image to HD resolution ). That's the only thing if you want to jailbreak you're iPhone then it's an option.

Thanks for your response ek583 and goferrarigo I have sky and I have a large dish but I only have a basic card and I can not get it renewed without 1. A Uk address and I live in Portugal 2. The companies here get you a card and the full package but then have to get a new box and they charge yearly fee and then a more ridiculous fee than Sky, I have not yet looked into the local satellite but that then means another dish and more monthly charges and it will not be in English!! I like Martin Brundle's commentary too much!!!
Thank you father-in-law, thank you Sky Go....
PS Rupert, you can still get to ****!
Trying to be less angry..
I'm very excited sky will do a great job
