Yes, the Mercs were streets ahead, and the Hamilton was a league ahead of Rosberg by the looks of it. I had a lie in this morning but contemplating getting up early to watch it tomorrow... 5am race start?

I bought a cheap satellite dish from Ebay (£23.00) and point it at Astra 19.2 satellite and tune TV to receive the stations . There are 100s of channels of rubbish but RTL is the only one I am interested in for F1 - works a treat !. I find streaming from frombat.tv or similar is very poor quality and full of pop up adverts which are tricky to remove.

I always preferred Brundle and Crofty as commentators but give the lack of time I have these days it's unlikely I'll see any live races and Sky Sports plus extra HD works out to over 16 quid a race. Balls.

I used to stay up late back in my student days watching baseball on channel 5. It's surprisingly addictive to watch. Shame they don't show it anymore.

You need to point the satellite dish at Astra satellite 19.2º rather than Astra 28º (the normal Sky satellite) ie point it about 9º further East (to the right). It is surprisingly easy to do. I've just retuned the TV to make sure it is working for tomorrow morning and over 1200 channels were found, all in German !
I have a 2nd satellite dish pointing to Astra 28º for free sat channels for another TV. This website is very useful http://www.dishpointer.com/

The time and the attention you give your motor is a giveaway mate! You remind me of myself 10 years ago! Make the most of it

No doubt about it - Sky is a rip off, they pay far too much for football and everything else suffers. I have Sky at the moment - am on 12 months half price after cancelling my contract for one month, and I will cancel again when it goes back to full price. If we all did the same the price would soon go down. I really wish all sports fans (Sky is mainly about sport in most homes) would say enough is enough and stop the money flowing into them.
