People used to switch to RTL whenever our open signal TV channel went to comercial break, on those days…
Well, I’ve seen it happen.. RTL broadcasts F1, you can watch the races there, F1 goes to pay TV, RTL’s signal gets encrypted during the races.. It’s an economic measure. Sky, having bought F1 and intending to broadcast it by pay TV must assure it won’t be broadcasted on open signal to the UK by satellite, otherwise nobody would sign for them to watch F1. There’s probably I wouldn’t say an agreement between Sky and the satellite provider, but an obligation for it (the satellite provider) to encrypt the signal (forced by whoever regulates TV in the UK)
I’m pretty sure they will block the signal for the live races.. If they hadn’t blocked until now RTL signal during races in the UK, that’s because UK had them in open signal anyway.. Otherwise it just wouldn’t make sense
the last (James Brickles) plus introducing refuelings (with harsh penaltys, like GP bans, for getting our of the pits with the fuel hose attached or burning). Maybe it’s going back in time but I did love the races/race strategies back then…
It’s called private life for a reason. Because it’s private. I don’t think that just because someone is famous and therefore the public has an apetite for knowing about his private life, that itself gives anyone justification for that, for devassing ones private live. In the same way that many people (probably most) wants to know about its neighbour (especially if it’s a small comunity) and that by itself, that curiosity, doesn’t give anyone the right to peep on the neighbour’s windows or listen to his walls. The “tabloids” and its “journalists” are exactly that: a peeper or a listener of other people affairs and should have as much respect as them (that is, none).
