Next year you won't even have F1 on C4 SD. It appears to be up in the air at the moment as to how Sky will deliver their FTA highlights commitment.

A rare watcher of C4 but an avid watcher of GP so having to watch in SD now - makes you realise how much better HD was! Lots of pixelation on track edges and everything a little blurry. Just wish C4 and FreeSAT would get back to acting like adults or should I say professionals - or better still BBC would stick their hands in their pockets and host GP. Not sure any of those things are likely to happen!
DavePlus F1 have changed their on screen graphics and they are now less legible than before. I guess they assume people are watching in HD (After all, why wouldn't they be? Thank you Channel 4!) and generally on larger screen sizes (ours is only a 32").

Yes I noticed the graphics were small and unreadable - for my eyes at least.

...... F1...... I only noticed that Ch4HD had vanished when I went to record qualifying last Saturday morning. After confirming that it had in fact left the Freesat EPG I found 4HD in other Sats on my Freesat TV which I can easily change to and record to a HDD, also found it in Non Freesat mode on my Foxsat HDR, no way we were recording the SD channel, F1 in SD is awful.
Next year ???, well I know I won't be paying sky for it or watching the highlights on one of sky's obscure SD channels.| Sat 31 Mar 2018 13:24:44 #24 | -

Thanks Graham, I had seen your post on the Foxsat HDR forum and I've finally put the custom firmware on my box. I didn't see the point before but it will be very useful to set a timer for 4HD now.
