I’ve seen F1 in 720p ( the Fuji Television coverage of the Japanese grand prix ) and I can’t wait.

In Sydney we get the BBC feed + commentary, it’s shown on free-to-air digital terrestrial TV. Ironically the callsign is ‘oneHD’, which is a relatively new dedicated HD sports channel. The intro, studio and even some interviews are in HD. Obviously the race itself is upscaled.

Last year since Turkey we get the race live, from the Parade lap. This year subject to IPL cricket, we get qualie from green light. Albeit both action is interrupted by ads.

Things are alot better than the dark years – where you only get the race delayed. However, the problem is that not all areas in Australia get digital TV, there are ads, practice isn’t shown and there is none of the pre-race.

So +1 on stream it to F1 backward countries. No more crappy pirate feeds.

Yes, yes, yes! I’ve already bought HD set-top-box in order to watch F1 in HD, but since there’s no feed for true HD I postponed my HD tv

Great news. After enjoying Indy & WTCC in HD it’s just well overdue for F1. F1 one should be leading broadcast standards not following!

The Indy races looked great also running at 60fps. Let’s have some of that please!

I’ve been resisting buying Flatscreen as technology is moving so fast as soon as you buy one it’s out of date – but this may sway me.

Forget plasma this is the future Laser TV If Mitsubishi rolled this out in Europe I’d but one tomorrow

Do you REALLY think that’s going to happen? Max’s ultimatum of get on-board or get out may have been stupid, but Force India have crossed the floor and filed an unconditional entry. For all their tough talk, neither Mosley nor FOTA want to see Formula One come crashing down around their ears; sooner or later, a truce will be worked out. It’s just a question of who will blink first. And my money is on FOTA.

I’m just waiting for someone to complain that it’s Abu Dhabi that may get the HD broadcast.
