On standard TV, the French GP comes on at 11.25 or something. No worries, 90 minutes delay.

On Channel 10 HD, the race is live. Woohoo!

However, I'm in regional victoria - and our 10 High Definition feed isn't showing it, it's giving us some 'stock footage' crap.

Didn't want to tape it, but I guess i'll have to now. Bastards! I'm almost of a mind to do the crotchety old codger thing and complain to them tomorrow.
I'm so far behind at work, I'm almost retro!

That's pretty lame, I get my RDO's on the mondays following F1 so I haven't missed a race yet  :P I just drink more redbull :)

*spoiler alert*









it was pretty boring. Hamilton cocked it up by being over aggressive. Webber didn't do too bad for a 6th place. but there really wasn't anything spectacular going on.

I have only seen 10HD broadcast 1 race live.
The Australian event.
Although i may be wrong and the did broadcast the Malaysian race as well live.

Still with 3 stations ( yes my digital tv picks up 3 channel 10s, 1 HD & 2 Standard Digital) you would think they could manage to show every race live, not with a 3-4 hr delay.

And i live in Perth, WA

Your right there.

Do you also get 6 Channels 7 ? 1HD, 1 program guide and 4 SD channels ?

I also think the ABC has done the best with digital TV offering 4 stations 1 HD and the rest having different programs
NINE just failed

I'm just using a little indoor antenna so I don't get Digital Channel 7 at all.  :(
