f1 - no sky, no BT, can I watch in HD?

[phatmanace]

I have freesat - is there any way I can watch F1 in HD?

I think "no", as C4 has delisted their HD offering from Freesat and I don't think that the 4OD app on any medium (SmartTV app or browser) supports HD, so I think I'm out of luck. That said, I thought I'd ask in case I'm missing anything.

Cheers, Ace

It's on freeview, if you can get that?

Any tv with an aerial should be able to get c4hd via freeview.

You can still get it on Freesat as far as I'm aware but you have to manually tune it as it's not available on the EPG.

I discovered this weekend you can get really decent streams on Twitch. The one I watched was only 720p but 60fps.

The downside is that it was a Canadian stream that showed adverts during the race.

Like the good ol' days of ITV.

Yep.

At least you could still see the race in a small box in the corner.

The ads seemed to last a very long time though.
