Getting Live coverage of F1 (in Australia)

Lloyd · Post by **Lloyd** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 1:21 pm

I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge about watching F1 races in the Australia or other places, live by picking up ITV's coverage from the satelite? I have noticed a few houses around near where I live have these huge dishes on their lawn s and roofs, not the normal pay TV type, they are mostly Italian families and I assume they have them to get the Italian football and shows. I put 2 and 2 together and without a calculator im still only getting 3. So I thought one of my fellow esteemed F1 fanatics might have some clues???

simply not a problem guys. Aerial off a 56 ford attached to a 9 slotter and get your friendly Koala to run it up the tallest gumtree around
( it has to be the tallest........if the Koala don't wanna do it, feel free to borrow " the dawg")

After reading all your usefull suggestions and trying one or two I am of the opinion that none of you are satelite tech's. Would I be right??
But keep the ideas coming I will try anything. Had an idea that the rotary clothes line could be transformed into a ripper Satelite dish. Then there is the problem of what channel to set the tele on.

I met someone at a BBQ last year who said he gets a french channel that shows the races live. Don't know much more though sorry!

When I go to a BBQ and take a note book all it contains when opened the next day is notes written with my finger in tomato sauce. I should have thought of a pen years ago. Thanks
