No, I'm just saying that to be able to compare 2 things, they have to both exist.
No Sky Sports HD channels exist on VM, so you can't compare the price of HD between VM and Sky. VM simply doesn't have it.
What it does have, is SD, and the price of the SD Sky Sports channels on VM is similar to that on Sky, which is what james.miller was talking about in the first place.

Again if your happyb shopper doesn't sell kingsmill bread but does sell happy shoppers own loaf of bread and you have a co-op next door which sells kingsmill for half he price. Which is better deal?
You logic is massively failing.
The important bit is f1 chanell exits on both networks. He/SD makes little/no difference.
Complete failure of logic.
No but you can compare the cheapest deal - in this case its Sky with F1 HD via HD pack vs VM with F1 SD via Sky Sports package - its a childs argument to refer to like for like when the superior service is cheaper...

But those combined packs include wildly different other channels.
Unless you are suggesting that people will be buying a VM or Sky package soley for SSF1 and will never watch any other channel ever?
you just get someone who has sky/sky go and ask them to let you use it.
the one change per month is a bit of a downer, you can only have 2 devices per contract AFAIK.
both mine are on two diffrent xbox's and you can only change one every month.
but you can conect phones,pads,consoles pc's etc.
OR just ask someone you know with sky who dosnt want to use skygo, and bingo you got free sky
(sort of)Im confused are you trying to downplay my argument because I havent considered everyones differing requirements when it comes to TV viewing?
The only absolute that really needs to discussed in this thread is the provider and then the route of access for watching live F1 - Im sorry Im not going to bother arguing the relative package contents; nor have I seen anyone else feel they need to either; yet its abundantly clear looking at the figures quoted by people that theyve been looking at the basic cost of getting live F1 viewing and not whether it includes the ability to watch Grays Anatomy or something...

Just no, it's a premium channel, the base package is neither here nor there.
Both packages have a minimum base package. That s irrelevant. The inference is the cost to add a premium channel on.
how many people have sky but dont have the hd package? how many people have virgin and dont have the sports package?
im guessing most people will have the hd package , a lot wont have the sports package
once the season is underway if the f1 channel doesnt have the viewers sky wants they will let virgin sell just the f1 channel on its own
Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and 4 are also premium channels, yet you seem perfectly happy to ignore those.
Why would I include them, I don't have to purchase them on sky, I have no use for them.
Because its the fact that they are included that means you can't compare F1 SD on VM with F1 HD on Sky.
It's the fact they are included which means VM are over priced.
I Can absolutely 100% compare the prices.
Worse than ever. Got new screen, now it has a 101 phantom presses on the touch screen. Away all week, soaking do. Untill I can post it back off on Friday.
Note to the Mobile Phone forum, this is why I don't like on screen keyboards 
Im just saying that £10.25 with Sky buys you anywhere between 19 and 60 HD channels, of which one is SSF1. While £22.50 with VM buys you 5 Sky Sports channels, of which one is SSF1. Its very difficult to compare those 2.

Not at all, I can quite easily compare them. As I know what i will use.
The fact I get extra channels, means nothing. As I wouldt watch them.
The only thing that matters for me and a lot of other people
£10 fo f1 Hd vs 22.50 for F1 SD
So which is the bettter offer?
They bogged repair. So it's hardly touch screens fault.

I suppose when you consider that HD channels are free on VM, it is £10 for 1 channel.
But if you are one of those guys interested in watching over paid idiots kick balls about every weekend then justifying the rest of the SS channels would be much easier
