Formula 1 (F1) Broadcasters/Channels/calender

[f1fan]

Hi everyone

A while back on a different forum I started a thread about FTA channels showing Formula 1 so that people could watch the races free when Sky took over live coverage of half the season. The result was that currently F1 FTA is only on RTL at 19.2e (also 13e with 10-20 second delay) and TF1 at 9e.

In the last week I stumbled upon the card sharing facilities of my OpenBox S10 and immediately tried out Sky Sports F1. I can get it to work, but the freezing is pretty bad.

So, my next thought was, what other Pay TV channels are available that card sharing servers cover I could try instead? Ideally I'd like on that has English commentary. I currently have LNBs for 28.2e, 19.2e, 13e and 9e though can try others if necessary. I had hoped JSC Sports covered F1 as all 10 channels work perfectly but I don't think they have the rights

Any suggestions on channels to try out?

Thanks guys

Hi Andrew

I know Sky have the rights for the UK, they have Pay TV rights in Germany though RTL are FTA in Germany anyway, (Austria is the same). As far as I know the Murdoch empire don't have the rights anywhere else in Europe.

I'm wondering if anyone has found any European or Asia channels that can be watched with satlover card sharing that have English commentary.

Failing that, any other channels that aren't English that you can switch to when there are adverts on RTL.

I do not understand, but on JSC sports you see the F1?

I have not been able to try JSC Sports during a race. Can you confirm races are on JSC Sports? If so, which channel number?

I think Al jazeera (JSC Sports) lost the rights to Abu Dhabi Sports, unfortunately I can't get AD Sports in the UK.

Do you know who provides the commentary on that channel?

Polsat sport extra on 13e shows it. Not sure about the commentary though.

I currently watch the BBC races on 28.2e then watch the non-BBC races on RTL (19.2e) and TF1 (9e), switching between the two when there are adverts, whilst listening to BBC Radio5 Live.

I'm keen to find a sat broadcaster that has English commentry (but not Sly Sports as the freezing is too bad) for the non-BBC races. I'll certainly try out Polsat sport extra.

26east, bahrain sports might be your answer.

I might just be able to pick up the BSS beam on Badr4 with my 90cm Triax dish, could be worth a go, I don't see them listed as one of the broadcasters on Wikipedia, not that Wikipedia is always right!

Unfortunately it doesn't tell you what language each is broadcast in

Also, I can't figure out from these forums what packages/channels are covered by the satlover servers. Can anyone point me in the right direction to know what can actually be decrypted?
