I disagree - the more I explain, the more people (hopefully) understand my point of view. I'm not having a go at anyone, we're all entitled to our opinions

Indeed, but repeating them so much more than anyone else drowns out the thread. It'd be good if there was some way to limit the thread to one post per day per individual to make it easier to read, more intersting, and dramatically adjust the signal to noise ratio.

TV3 (which is FTA) has now extended its rights in Spain:
- Spanish GP - live - All other races - 60 min delay (Telefonica has all races live on Pay TV). http://www.sportbusiness.com/sport-n...age-deal-spain Quote:
60 min delay or 60 minute highlights? There's a big difference!
http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/t..._deal_in_spain ![]() Is Germany now the only country in Europe with FTA coverage throughout the season? |

French-speaking Belgium is still FTA on RTBF. (Qualifying and race only.)

Channel 4 may want all of the F1 if it works out for them, The half half deal is just taking over what is left of BBC at the moment.

I'm not stopping anyone else from posting. I'd be mortified if I did that and I certainly don't want anyone to stop posting because of me. it's a public forum - you can all say what you want - don't hold back on my part

I've seen quite a bit of it at trade shows over the last few years and its ok, but sort of end up thinking, what's it adding to something like F1, is it taking away the true rawness of the engine, noise and the weather. Its almost like its creating something more unnatural. Its a bit like cgi, its great sometimes, but its all getting so tiresome with London blowing up every week. |

Sky's seemed to be using the clean feed for the re-broadcast of the 2010 Australian Gp last night, Was really hard to keep up with what was happening without any on-screen graphics.

Do you think VR will really add anything long term to F1?

Wonder what everyone thinks of the new MotoGP graphics... I still need to give it time.
PS: Talking about MotoGP it's now being fully covered by the Autosport Magazine for 2016

Look like they have been designed to be easier to read on a small mobile screen and look way too large and solid for a normal TV.
![]() Add in that the summary screens at the end do not show a sensible nine riders (three rows) per page after the first page which is a blunder IMHO. And they got the coverage details wrong as well: Sunday warm-ups are on BTSX2 *not* BTS2. |

I think the new MotoGP graphics are good looking as such. But they are a bit "busy" with so many animations when the name of the driver appears on screen for instance.

First hate about the graphics... They are displaying pointless Twitter messages

Seems a little odd for Channel 4's twitter to plug when FP1/FP2 are live when they are not showing them.

Karun Chandhok has been tweeting saying that he will be in the pitlane for FP1 and in the commentary box for FP2+FP3. Assume, obviously, that this is for the weekends that C4 are live and broadcasting practice. But it does give us an insight into how the coverage will work for the practice sessions.
Also, below, is a link to a tweet by Whisper Films with a series of stills from what appears to be the opening titles. They look quite cool but obviously you can only tell so much from a couple of pictures! https://twitter.com/WhisperFilmsUK/s...96211946262528 |

I kind of like the fact they even thought to put up a video detailing the new graphics package!
I noticed for the first time the other day that the WSBK were using a variant of what is now the old MotoGP graphics - don't watch WSBK all that much any more but don't think I'd noticed that before, when did they start using that set? |

Not sure if this has been posted. Very interesting to hear - are there any other broadcasters which take their entire broadcast (i.e. pre/post coverage) from another channel? |

It's interesting those world wide broadcasters that took the BBC commentary/coverage - the non-live weekends BBC had practice commentary anyway - which I presume TSN etc took? So what about now? Will Ch4 guys do commentary for those that are planning to use them on non-live Fridays?

Pretty sure Fox Sports Australia also take all of Sky's coverage. Interesting stuff about TSN. I think they've had BBC commentary for the past few years.
