Details of the BBC coverage for F1.
Nice to see ALL sessions will be available via the red button (But can't record red button stuff can we??).
No mention of HD???

I read somewhere that it is unlikely to be in HD 
I think maybe the British grand prix will be because the BBC is broadcasting it, but most of the other countries have decided not to broadcast in HD due to a lack of international interest in it.

Really this is so dumb - massive opportunity to showcase what HD can do...I would imagine loads of potential new customers woudl jump aboard HD if they knew that the Grand Prix was being broadcast in such...
so disapointed...
The grand prix in HD would be absolute quality.

It's nothing to do with "lack of interest" and everything to do with money.
The FIA want to make extra money on the HD feeds.
It isn't a case of "No F1 HD for the BBC", rather "No F1 HD for anyone".

Fleetwood Mac IS back Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible
EDIT Curious...on my screen I have a sign that says 'whoops browser settings incompatible' but they worked! Anyway the link is just to a story in the Telegraph saying Fleetwood Mac is back.

there is of course one other problem with HD F1.
unless all of the races were moved to late night, the BBC in there wisdom only start broadcasting HD on sky from 7pm.
Amazing how channel4 can show HD all day when they are going out of business (supposedly) but the wonderful BBC only start at 7pm with kids programmes. go figure | |

BBC-HD does, of course, transmit at other times when there's a need (like the Olympics or Wimbledon and I think I can just about remember the World Cup  )... but then you already knew that didn't you?

All F1 races are filmed using HD camera's it all down to how much the broadcaster wants to pay. The higher the bit rate the more is costs why do you think ITV PQ was ****** poor.
HD F1 Feeds have been available to cinemas for sometime.

There will not be any HD coverage of F1 on BBC HD
Quote from BBC website
'We will not be able to provide F1 coverage in high definition this year. The BBC relies on Formula 1 Management (FOM) for the provision of all of its live pictures and as such the broadcasting of high definition pictures is dependent upon whether FOM uses HD cameras or not'
This is just ridiculous and makes me wonder who really is too blame here as we all believe FOM records the whole event in HD in any case
