Default F1 looking closer

F1 teams seem to have got their act together over the winter with all the cars. Testing and practice sessions were not a whitewash for redbull for a change unless they are just bagging it. Might be in for a good season

Setting a second dish up this evening to get it live from RTL on Astra 1 'cos I'm not gonna pay Murdoch a single penny to view what should be on the BBC in its entirety (SP?) Qualis sounded entertaining this morning on 5live so tomorrow we have pictures courtesy of RTL in Germany and commentary from BBC R5Live, could be entertaining in more than one way .

In edit, it will be interesting to see the story unfold about the Merc's extra ducting. Piping air from the rear wing to the front to reduce downforce when the DRS is in operation, these guys reqally are working on the ragged edge of aero!

I cant believe that the bbc have put on a second hand run of the race on the box in the afternoon, the results have already been all over the news. What a bunch of tossers

Its not the Beeb's fault, their deal with F1 and Sky is that they can only show 10 of the races live but can show highlights later in the day, for some people this will be their only way of seeing all the races.

My setup worked well: Radio 5 live via freesat through the surround sound system and pictures courtesy of german channel RTL via a free to air sat receiver and small portable dish lined up to Astra1.

Something like this would do it:

So that mighty midget Bernie has sold it off and denied us the chance to watch f1 without sticking our hands in our pockets. Kin great, can it not be watched on a pc or does that involve more trickery than that dish gadget?

Or this one:

My preference is the sat dish, not expensive and you can get so much more to view, Eurosport for example, I know they used to show a lot of motorsport, Icelandic offroad and truck trialling as well as tractor pulling and drag racing.
