if you are an F1 fan, be careful about how you change you sky package!
when sky sports f1 hd was launched, it was free for all hd pack subscribers. back then there were the 2 entertainment packages (basic and extra), the movies pack and the sports pack. if you wanted hd, it was 10 pounds a month extra.
since the launch of the new package schemes, it all changed: there is the entertainment pack (basic, sd), the entertainment extra (all sd channels except movies and sports) and entertainment extra+ (hd version of all channels, except movies/sports)
if you want movies or sports, then (on top of the 16 or 22 pounds) its an extra 5 pounds each if you want them in hd. before, if you had the 10-pound hd pack, that included hd movies and sports as well, if you had those premium packs.
now back to f1: if you change to "entertainment extra+", you lose sky sport f1, since it is now only available in the sport pack. however, it will continue to be a bonus channel for those (like me), who still have the "old" hd pack.
especially be careful, as at first it might sound like a beneficial move: old ent.extra+hd pack=27+10=37 pounds; new ent.extra+ pack=32 pounds. but the latter does not include sky sports f1!
