Watching the GP in France without a TV!

[jamiebae]

I've just realised that when the Malaysian GP is on I'm going to be staying on a campsite in Bordeaux

I have a laptop, should have wifi access (but not sure on connection speed) and have a UK USB freeview dongle. Is there any way I can see the race, I assume the BBC feed is blocked when accessing from overseas.

What channel in France shows the GP now?

TF1 shows the F1 live.

Can I pick that up using a UK freeview tuner on a laptop or do they use different frequencies (or just analogue) over there?

you can stream it from China or Japan through Justin.tv or you could last year!

Don't know as I've not tried to do it but TF1 is analogue via an aerial and also digital as part of their TNT service - sounds like a definite maybe to me.

I tried the laptop freeview route last season and couldn't get it to work but there again I'm not that good with technology
