No to studio coverage for me, and no to reading tweets out UNLESS it's to ask a question.
Reading out someones tweet that says "I think Hamilton drove well today and will win the title" is a waste of time and adds nothing. If I'm honest I have no interest in hearing the opinions of fans via Twitter or anything else after a race, especially if something controversial happened and it was basically fanboys tweeting that Rosberg is a cheater or that Bottas should've been penalised for this that or the other etc. I'd happily listen to fans asking questions to pundits/experts/team members etc that can be answered though, for example asking Toto Wolff if a 3 stop was always the plan or if they intended to do 2 stops but ended up doing 3 as the tyre wear was higher than they'd predicted due to an increase in track temperature compared to practice and quali and therefore felt that if they did a 2 stop they'd leave themselves at risk of losing the race due to the tyres likely falling off the cliff in the closing laps. Even something like "how long will it take to pack up and get everything on the road to the next race" is more interesting to me than "Hamilton did nothing wrong, I don't know why people are saying he should've had a penalty" Tweets are okay if they're questions, nothing else. Air time is precious, there's plenty of other sites and outlets for people to big up their favourite drivers or to moan about ones they don't like, national TV coverage is not the place for it. |

Vox Pop is cheap and dirty broadcasting
Quote:
Sorry to be negative, but the last thing I want is more tweets read out. Especially live and without someone editing out the dross.
Quote:
Second that, it adds nothing to the live racing and to be honest just distracts and takes up valuable broadcasing time and space on screen.
If people want to read the tweets or social media the should do it on their own phones/tablets. Broadcasters should not force it on viewers who dont care for it. Quote:
No to tweets !

Rolex 24 At Daytona America's biggest endurance race is back with Rolex 24 At Daytona. It is the first round of the 2016 ISMA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and also the first round of the four race North American Endurance Cup, many famous American racer will be there including Kyle Larson, Scott Dixon and even Brazilian Rubens Barrichello. In the UK the whole 24 hours will be streamed on ISMA.TV, with qualifying streamed tonight at 9pm on the same channel. As far as I'm aware I was told that Motors TV would have a 2 hour highlights package but as of now there nothing in the schedule to say that. In the USA the surprise is that the FOX channel will not show any of the 24 hours live on the over-the-air channel which is slightly disappointing considering this is the biggest endurance race in America, instead the coverage will be exclusive to FS1, FS2 and ISMA.TV. Below is the schedule for all the sessions shown on TV in America and the UK. (All times listed are GMT) 28th January 2016 (Tonight): 4:00pm-5:35pm: Rolex 24 Qualifying (ISMA.TV)Raceday Schedule (30/1/16-31/1/16) UK: 7:00pm (30/1/16)-8:00pm (31/1/16): Rolex 24 Live Stream (ISMA.TV) USA (FS1): 7:00pm-9:00pm: Rolex 24 Part 1 12:00pm-3:30pm: Rolex 24 Part 4 6:00pm-8:00pm: Rolex 24 Part 6 USA (FS2): 9:00pm-3:00am: Rolex 24 Part 2 3:30pm-6:00pm: Rolex 24 Part 5 USA (ISMA.TV): 3:00am-12:00pm: Rolex 24 Part 3 |

Good news for MotoGP watchers, BT will be showing the Sepang test live. It won't be shown on the main channels but it will be shown on the BT Sport digital platform and on btsport.com.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And Sky is pulling out all the stops as Ted is doing a special Baku Notebook, I presume it will be filmed where the circuit will be built and Ted will be proably show us around Baku. I know it has only been a month into the new year but I already feel like the Notebook has been more extensive than it was this time last year, we've had one for the Autosport International (Although I don't think that has been shown yet) and now this, Ted has really been a busy worker through the off-season hasn't he ![]() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

You can't really say it is more extensive until it has aired on screen. Sky did go to Mexico last January (although that was linked to the Force India launch with Perez) for a special Notebook so it is similar to this time last year.
No sign of a special Notebook from the Autosport Show in Sky's schedules, I'm not convinced that will air on TV. Edit - Just checked the schedule and the Autosport show is on SkyF1 at 8pm tonight, repeated at 11pm |

Looking to be good motosrport viewing for the weekend. There is some on imsa.tv, but it all seems to be live radio, no live video so far. Usually get geoblocked that site does it not? |

The wording of this page on Sky's website makes it sound Ted's Notebook from ASI will form part of tonight's ASI show, rather than as a special show on it's own.

That's a shame and to be honest why stream it if they are not showing video coverage, you got ISMA.TV anyway which is not geo-blocked and is streaming radio commentary and a few onboard cameras anyway.
The Imsa.tv RADIO player is just whatever Radio Le Mans happen to be broadcasting at the time, whether it's actual live stuff or not, and that player on IMSA's site is on 24/7 regardless of live or video coverage. Even so, Imsa.tv is rarely if ever geo-blocked in the UK (It is geoblocked in the US at times when Fox Sports are showing the races live there) |

Bad news for all you Legacy Sky F1 subscribers thinking of Sky Q. .
With the introduction of Sky Q the Sky F1 legacy offering comes to an end and the only way to get Sky F1 is to subscribe to Sky Sports. Sky+ HD is around for a few years yet though, so you can still hang on to that. |

I have no interest in upgrading, my 2 Sky+HD do exactly what I need and SkyQ offers nothing useful enough for to upgrade. Unless I have misunderstood what you are saying and Sky are also removing the legacy HD pack from all customers even those who don't upgrade? |

Surely though that only applies to those who upgrade and so replace their existing Sky+HD with SkyQ instead.

The moment you switch packages, you enter a new contract and with that abandon any previous terms that you had (including legacy HD packages). |
