For reasons other than F1, we've just taken out a Bulsatcom (Bulgarian satellite TV) contract. The full package which I think includes all the GPs, qualifying sessions and free practice sessions live in HD is 15 lev a month, which is about £6 at current exchange rates.

However, obviously the commentary will be in Bulgarian. Do Radio-5 do audio coverage of all of the sessions? If not, does anyone else?

They do broadcast all of them although some are on 5 live sports extra I think meaning you need DAB or internet radio or similar.

Though you might find an annoying lag/lack of sync between what you are watching and the commentary - slight but annoying.

If the radio comes through ahead of the picture, I can easily enough put a delay on it. If the picture comes through first, I'll probably just have to put up with it. smile

If you have a PVR just timeshift the picture back a minute then adjust the audio to match. Of course that might mean your twitter feed is running fast.

Sadly I don't have a PVR capable of recording encrypted satellite channels.
