Silverstone F1 non coverage.

Shame that the only way to see the Friday practice sessions from the British GP at Silverstone is via a German channel (DSF on Astra @19 Deg E ) Funny old world, isn't it !

The pq on DSF is far better than ITV, i hate to see how much better the foreign channels on sats can be compared to our crappy pictures.

Yeh, but it's in 4:3 aspect on DSF, as is the race coverage on RTL - has been all season so far - or is it my Sat box settings !

Re: Silverstone F1 non coverage.

Is this channel available on the Sky digital setup or is it only on the old style analogue system ?

That's a shame, wish I'd have kept my old Astra/Hotbird dual setup now !

Sadly there hasn't really been as much interest in the racing here than on the continent for years.

That will hopefully change though!

Re: Silverstone F1 non coverage.

We need another Nigel Mansell and Hamilton looks like he has the potential to take his place.
