@Alvin66

It has been temporarily name-changed to Darts until 5 January whilst there is no F1.

It is not just a name change, they are not showing any of the F1 programming at all.

There is no F1 to show as the season has ended, so rather than just show repeats they are using the channel for Darts coverage. The F1 channel returns in January.

will that mean we will get a rebate on our monthly fee?

No, as you get to watch the Darts without extra charge.

I would be annoyed too. Fortunately I only pay for the f1 channel March to December. I don't want a sports package as I'm only interested in motorsports.

It's 2-3 weeks of other sports coverage at no additional cost when there wouldn't be any F1 on anyway.

I have made a complaint about the removal of the F1 channel that the Sky rep seemed to know nothing about. As they are clearly not going to change their minds, I got a £10 credit against my next bill. [content removed] It doesn't change how peed off I am about Sky just doing what they want without informing customers beforehand as a minimum.

Good hunting.

To be fair to Sky.

They have been advertising the changeover on their Sports channels, Sky Sports News and Sky Sports F1 for over a week.

In the last week or so, the Sky press release went out and has been reported in many of the papers, online and online broadcasting sites.

Plus, there is actually no live F1 or motorsport that Sky has rights too now for a few months.

This happens too with other sports, cricket, golf and football for a few months or so through the year.

There is still plenty of F1 on demand from this season and previous seasons to watch, plus many documentaries.

The change has been promoted here on the community this week;

https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-TV/Sky-Sports-F1-temporarily-changing-to-Sky-Sports-Darts/ba-p/4848431

If you really are missing your F1 and all the on demand is not aplenty, the Sky F1 review show will be shown on Sky Sports Mix - 9pm on 24th December.

Ted in his last notebook during last weekend mentioned that Sky will be showing live the F1 75 show on 18th February and all the pre season tests , February 26-28th.

The next season kicks off March 14-18th in Melbourne, Australia

And this isn’t the first time the f1 channel has been changed to darts either..

One of the most frequent complaints in the programming forum is the amount of repeats on Sky. Now they have temporarily replaced a channel that would otherwise be showing nothing but repeats for 3 months, and there are complaints that repeats aren't being shown. Never mind, Sky Sports F1 is back in January and you'll be able to see many replays of all last seasons races and Ted's Notebook then.

My problem is I'm paying for something I'm not getting, I don't want to watch another sport so don't make out you're doing me a favour. If you can't supply something you shouldn't be charging for it. Just suspend payment until it comes back.

Feel free to complain to Sky, rather than the other customers here.

@Skidrow no one is saying you have to say nice things about Sky but as this is a is a customer to customer forum where customers help each other all you are doing is complaining to other customers when if you are unhappy is you need to contsact Sky to complain
