Cable and satellite companies around the world that transmit the BBC feeds are paying a fee to the BBC.

This is included in the fees we consumers outside of the UK pay to our respective cable/satellite companies.
So yes, we do contribute.
not when it comes to being able to see it on the net in countries that dont show the BBC on tv

think what you think is best for you.
i for one always saw bbc programs and certainly will do again this year.
if this includes f1? certainly will. i don't even imagine they could let me down after so many years seeing that extravagant shakespeare in vain.
for your common knowledge, we portuguese have already pay much, discovering the world and handling almost everything to you, pinks. all about capitalism, new world america, and everything. it's time to end that fee of yours, offering us something to think about.
after all it all started with india. and you should learned the basis of civilization by now.
you really are sad luky if you're going on about civilization,india,new world america and other such trash-get a life and learn to post relevant things in threads,not trash about civilization etc in a thread about the bbc
what ever.
i like the way you fail to inform us all (with your high intellect) as to what your comments about new world america,civilization,and portugal supposedly giving us everything,has to do with the BBC coverage

Is the word "basically" the qualifier that infers you are not intending any "offence"?
I mean...don't get me wrong or anything, Amy here is without question on glue, but why "no offence"
Glue sniffers are rather offending to me.
I always cut Ms. Winehouse here a little slack as he is a staple of the live thread and has been for years.
Jp
i can safely say that when i typed it,i wasnt thinking 'i know,if i put basically,that it'll mean im not meaning any offence'-he may have been here for years,but.........well,quite how,im not sure,as its rare to read a post of his that makes sense/has any relevance to the specific thread
I know steve....I was trying to be funny.
I just cringe when I see/hear the 3 most overused qualifiers in English speech.
Actually, Apparently and Basically.
Although not one of those dreaded in-fashion adjectives,to me it's like hearing an American say the word "AWESOME".
Don't let Amy get you wound up.
That's what the lovely ignore function is all about.

Instead I have to put up a satellite disc, buy a suitable box and subscribe to a bunch of crap channels I don't want - just to be able to watch the particular channel that broadcasts F1.
Just to put things a bit in perspective. :\

I don't think hardly anyone in the UK cares if the internet feed is hacked(it's just bbc iplayer streaming live like it is now with the rugby 6 nations games). I don't know why anyone with a TV in the UK would want to watch an iplayer feed live, it's just the race feed in reduced quality. You can watch in full quality all F1 sessions on BBC TV (with the red button) and switch to the live timming data channel and the onboard channel, which is not on the iplayer.

It won't be the BBC that particularly wants to prevent people overseas watching an internet feed, any more than it does with any other show. Bernie's contracts will require the BBC's coverage to be restricted to the UK as far as possible in order to protect the value of his rights agreements in other countries.
on target.

You are going on the assumption that BBC is a British TV company, and therefore is only broadcast in England. This is blatantly not the case. This year, here in Holland, we wiil have the choice of watching RTL7 (very commercial heavy) or BBC (no commercials). I very much doubt that RTL have negotiated a lower fee although their viewing figures will almost cetainly go down . Holland is not the only country which recieves BBC, and I doubt BE has re-negotiated these contracts in these countries. the ITV feed was obviously not secure enough, or wasn't supposed to be. The BBC secure their feed to protect their revenue, not to please Mr E!
I TV, on the other hand, recieved revenue from commercials. ITV > BBC needs, in that respect, are pretty much opposites.

BBC1 is only legally received in Netherlands and Switzerland, then only on cable so hardly a massive audience. It would have caused more of a problem for Bernie had BBC been transmitted to more countries as you had suggested. I'm sure next time RTL7 come to renew their contract they will take any loss of audience to BBC1 into account and negotiate accordingly.
Cable here is the majority unlike the UK. This (Holland that is) is (probably) the most cabled and networked country in the world. Actually, in europe The Netherlands, Switzewrland and Ireland recieve BBC. Whilst admittedley not the biggest countries in Europe, it remains a not-insignificant amount of viewers. Although I make you absolutley right about RTL eventually wanting to re-negotiate their contract. But the point is still the same that The BBC and ITV work on very different bussiness models.
Sorry if it didn't come across clearly
and at the end of the day I'm no expert and it's only my opinion!

Out of interest, do you get the full range of BBC channels there and get the red button features?
In theory the iPlayer shouldn't work outside of the UK, although I understand reality can be a bit different. I don't see why their F1 coverage should operate any differently to other shows on that system.
The BBC has the rights to broadcast F1 in the UK. Maybe the feed of BBC1 that goes overseas during a race ought to carry three hours of repeats of Cash in the Attic, just to stop Bernie and/or the Beeb spending too much time in court.

You can get BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 and BBC4 on cable there and also BBC Prime (which you can't get in the UK). I don't think they have the red button options.
You might be right about switching the F1 feed off for overseas people, they do that on the radio/website and you often get different sports on BBC depending which country you are in (Scottish football in Scotland etc).

True, I had always assumed that the British Broadcasting Corporation was British. I had also assumed that it broadcasts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
In fact, the BBC, in various formats, broadcasts to much of the world. What it won't do is broadcast outside the UK material that it only has 'domestic' rights to. This includes their website, which has UK and international versions. (I can foresee yet another season of sitting in a hotel in some god-forsaken part of the planet, knowing the race has started, despondently wondering why the hotel has 99 TV stations and no F1. Still, at least I'll be able to pick-up coverage of The Ashes.)

True. I'm still reeling at the 51 all out.
This is all a bit confused I think. The BBC's feed can't be accessed by those outside the UK. It's to avoid infringements of various broadcasting rights contracts for sports coverage etc.
The licence fee has nothing to do with it. Clearly this is the case as most other TV networks in other countries have similar restrictions, even though most don't have licence fees.
The BBC doesn't give a toss whether I'm watching without paying a licence fee, as I said it's all about the broadcast rights. For example, anyone outside the UK can view most BBC news videos on the BBC website, but not certain sports coverage, e.g. 6 nations rugby.

very well said. That's about as concise a summary of the situation as you can get.

The standard packet is BBC1 + 2. The iplayer does indeed not work outside the UK, or "red button" features. BBC3, 4 and BBC prime are available to satellite and digital viewers for an extra cost.

Yes. This'll be like Jake and co responding to people's views via text and 606 type of stuff. That'll be more like chit-chatty kind of stuff aimed at the motorsport audience... not aimed at the "random guy off the street".

However, this line clearly says: There will be live coverage of every on-track session online, as well as all the television broadcasts.

Not sure. I think for the race you'll have the option between TV and Radio commentary, but not sure about no-commentary.
As for practice, I'm not sure whether we'll be hearing the TV commentators or whether we'll be stuck with David Croft and Anthony Davidson.
Just in terms of airtime, that represents a reasonable increase on what ITV were doing. No doubt the build-up shows will feature a lot of re-screenings of features, just like ITV, but F1 people only have so much time for items like that. Sounds promising anyway. I wonder how quickly I will adapt back to the absence of wee breaks during the shows...
So if I get up at 7ish on the morning of the Oz GP will I be able to start viewing the race using the red button or iPlayer? Or will I just have to get up early as in the past?
I reckon the interactive forum will be a fully moderated 'webchat' thing just like you might get with one of the chefs after a cookery programme or a Z-list celebrity after a talk show.
So there will be a few thousand people throwing questions in and the moderator will choose which ones he/she wants to put to the celeb.

I believe BBC will be providing commentary for others countries like ITV did... ITV provided commentary for Channel 9 in Australia and a lot of other countries... so there maybe in the race 30 second gaps in commentaries to allow other countries to head to commercials.

The race starts as 7... so if you're planning to watch it online via the BBC Sport website, I'd get up at least 20 minutes before the start in case the website logjams as it gets towards 7.... although the Beeb shouldn't have those kind of problems.

Yeah, that's probably correct. I imagine some of these maybe quite boring, while others maybe fun it depends on the race type I guess a great race will provoke a lot of discussions as will controversial races.... i.e. if the stewards decide to give out a controversial "drive through penalty" things like that will always provoke discussion of some kind....
I'll be very surprised if there is a Live Phone-In as that can get very out of hand if the person on the other end is unwilling to co-operate.
My guess is that Brundle will join them in the studio for this as well... and it'll also give them a chance in this bit to refer back to past incidents/moments of a similar nature.
Having just relayed the details (many thanks DMN) to a fellow racing fan in the office whom we shall refer to as GOM (Grumpy Old Man 
), his retort was along the lines of 'well on my freeview box the red button channels are on channels 301, 302 and 303, how am i supposed to watch those?'.......my question to the BB is as follows: Should I just headbutt him or is a punch in the face more appropriate? I shall of course be shouting 'shut up!' while i do this 
Shall we set a poll?
well I like the sound of the coverage, even if GOM has misgivings, but i'll still indulge in the Autosport chatroom during the coverage of course......stop groaning at the back

A live phone in would be awesome. Just think of the many 'Five Star' moments we could look forward to.

Red button and online would be the most they could justify broadcasting. I'm a loyal viewer when it comes to F1, but I wouldn't rearrange my Saturday to watch FP3 as well... that's not to say I won't bother at all, but I wouldn't want to let it stop me from getting more important things done.
jb says Saturday practice will be live on the Red Button and online.
Works fine here.

no complaints from me if thats the case,would have been disappointed if FP3 wouldnt have been shown at all,so even just being on the red button/online will do me fine
I cant wait now so much f1 on me tv
