[QUOTE="Doodler, post: 4204, member: 175158"] F1 is the main reason I got into this, now I'm addicted! The multi-view signals are superior to the standard signal seen on ITV, with more cameras and of course you can follow the leader, in-car shots etc. On 19.2E, the multi-view F1 signals are transmitted by Kiosque (French), Taquilla (Spanish), and I believe PW (Premiere World - German). On 13E, it's also available on Tele+. Kiosque, Taquilla, and Tele+ are encoded in Seca, so for any of these you would need a Seca cam (I use Aston 1.05) to insert in a suitable digital satellite receiver, or it would probably be cheaper if you're starting from scratch to get one with a built-in Seca cam. PW is encoded in Betacrypt, which is a variation of Irdeto. What seems to be the best receiver for flexibility is the Humax 5400 (I don't have one). It has an embedded Irdeto decoder, and an unofficially modified one is widely available in the UK which can also (with the right card) decode Betacrypt and Seca as well (and a couple of other types). I have not watched F1 on PW, but I can testify that on other channels, there is a choice of soundtrack, either language of broadcaster or no commentary. I listen to Radio 5 commentary and from what I'm hearing, I'm sure those guys are looking at the multi-view signal as well. When I watch, I set up 2 TV's, one wit hthe standard (ITV) signal, and the other connected to the satellite. Only problem is there is about a 2-second delay between them which is very disconcerting (probably there to make the commentators seem more quick-witted than the rest of us). I have even considered having a 2nd digital receiver to get around this. It's very difficult to get official cards (maybe impossible?) in the UK, so you will probably have to rely on unofficial cards, and there is no guarantee that what is available now with these will be available all through the year (or even by March), but if you give yourself the maximum flexibility in your set-up, you lessen the chances of being snookered. I could go on and on, but that's a starter pack for you. Feel free to ask me for more info. Doodler [/QUOTE]
