my son downloads his favorite programs from the states i.e the wire ! fringe. etc minuets after showing in the states he can download them in several minuets in excellent quality to view with no adverts ! does anyone no how i could do this with the formula one, the uk sold out last year so no more free F1 and being a good fan and watched it for years well now the show is over, unless one of you guys have any miracle suggestions because at £20 a month subscription to the sport channel alone Bernie Ecelston sold his fellow countrymen out!!!!

If you can catch what you want in another language, go for it if it's available, don't really need the audio to watch a race.?!
Don't know if F1 is available on Pirated material or if you can still get that these days......just Google and ask your other friends in the UK how they work around the problem you have.

Once you get the race, turn the volume down and listen to R5 live coverage. Works well for ITV's football coverage.

Now I'm not particularly PC savvy but I went and tried this anyway. Taken me 20 mins to get the PC back to something like it was, inc. several attempts to remove programmes.
AVAST gave me a MALWARE warning then the browser closed. Upon restarting I had (I think) Delta Chrome running over Firefox.
There'll be plenty out there who know how to deal with this, but if like me, understanding PC's is not your forte, you might want to tread warily.

any help to get my beloved F1 would be well appreciated. i have tried streaming football , boxing etc but the streams just don't cut it for a good experience, so last year i just watched highlights after the race had finished, and avoid the result, but my son thought he may be able to download from another country like he did with( the wire) and all the other American series which he cant get in the UK, usually straight after they get shown in the states they are available to download with no adverts in excellent quality! i would love a source like that, or even better a link to the live race !the highlights shown in the UK on the BBC are OK but there just not the whole race, its crammed into 30 minuets and all because Bernie Eccleston sold it to the big money networks and the BBC left with scraps, thanks for showing the greater public formula one and helping to enhance its image but now we are well received and the networks are falling over themselves to get the rights to show the races its a case of thanx for broad casting it for years when we did not have all the attention but now we have it screw you. even if i could afford to subscribe i would like to think i would refuse on the basis of greed, ( Rant over ) excuse me ! yes pls pls pls give me the solution ! lol, cheers braindamage

unfortunatly the future of TV in UK is heading towards PAYTV, either go with the flow or miss out.

But what you are saying is this - I`m pi**ed off at not being able to watch Free (Licence fee paid for) but if you could afford it you would probably not watch it on Principle.

So problem solved, go out take a few Photo`s, have a Beer, play with the Kids, etc. and be better for it and wealthier
