Subscribing to F1 channel only

[friarfaithful]

I am a Sky ROI TV subscriber and can't work out how to add the Sky F1 channel to my subscriptions. I'm not interested in the whole Sky Sports package, just the F1 channel, which I believe can be added as a stand alone subscription. Can anyone advise how to do this? It's not showing as an option under the deals section of the Sky website.

hi @friarfaithful 

I may be wrong but I think you may only be able to subscribe by calling

Thanks, in that case I'll have to try phoning ... which is never a happy experience!

Just spoke witjh customer services. They said they couldn't add the F1 channel alone and I had to take the full sports package. I know that's not correct, as a friend has added just the F1 channel to his TV package (at a cost of £18 extra per month), without taking the full sports package. So, it seems that customer services agents aren't porperly briefed about this option. Pretty frustrating but not sure what else I can now do.

Have you tried going via the MySky app,I've just looked at mine, there's an advert for the Golf masters with see all deals button, when clicking on that it give various options including F1 as a stand-alone at £18 per month on a rolling contract.

I am in the UK so not sure if the ROI version works the same

Thanks for that suggestion @Chorlty226 I looked at the MySky app and can't see anything. Maybe you're right and it's just UK and not ROI customers that can add F1 as a stand-alone extra. If so, frustrating for me. I may just have to add the whole sports package at the 6 month discounted rate and then cancel it when the F1 season is over. Don't want to miss any F1 action if this season turns out to be as exciting as last season was!
