You can get it on virgin if you subscribe to the sports pack at £22 a month extra!!!! I told them to shove it as I only wanted the F1 channel and I wasnt paying that amount for one channel I wanted!!!!

you can watch it on your phone or computer through sky go, but i assume you will need to have a sky subscription. full details of how to watch it are here. http://f1.sky.com/ways-to-watch?DCMP=KNC-

if you are lucky enough to be in the right area you can get sky phone broadband and tv including the f1 channel for £30.50, of course as they say on bbc, other networks are available.
Come on you Jimmies

I just left virgin and took up a sky subscription. Looking at that channel there appears to be some really good programmes coming up on the history of the sport and legends profiles etc....looks quite interesting.

Hi all, just so you know the sky F1 channel launches properly tonight at 8.00pm, with a 2 hour season preview show. Hope most of you can watch it some way or another!

(If like me you already have sky HD, the channel is part of that package too, no sports subscription required at all)
Cool

Watched the first night of F1 on the new channel last night. So far I'm as pleased as punch, if the race meetings are covered as well as the programmes appear to have been made, I think we'll be in for a treat this year.
