Spanish broadcaster <a href="/wiki/Canal_Satelite_Digital" class="mw-redirect" title="Canal Satelite Digital">Canal Satelite Digital</a> joined at the beginning of the 1998 season. British broadcaster <a href="/wiki/BSkyB" class="mw-redirect" title="BSkyB">BSkyB</a> however did not offer the service until later. </p><p>An initial investment of $35 million was made to set up the service.<sup id="cite_ref-piranha237_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-piranha237-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By the time the service closed, over $100 million had been spent on it. </p><p>The race coverage shown on regular terrestrial TV was produced by a local broadcaster (the host broadcaster) and provided to all other broadcasters around the world. By comparison, the majority of the coverage shown on the F1 Digital+ service was produced on-site at each Grand Prix venue by <a href="/wiki/Formula_One_Management" class="mw-redirect" title="Formula One Management">Formula One Management</a>. The operation involved transporting around 200 tons of equipment to each race. To transport the equipment required 18 trucks for European rounds or two Boeing 747 jumbo jets for fly-away races. At the race venue, a 1200 sq m air-conditioned tent was set up containing the majority of the equipment. The service was run by Eddie Baker, and the tent was colloquially referred to as Bakersville.<sup id="cite_ref-insidebakers_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-insidebakers-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two hundred staff were employed to provide the coverage. A two-week turn around was required to dismantle and reassemble all the equipment. Dismantling would begin immediately following a race broadcast on Sunday and would be finished by Tuesday. It would then be transported to the next venue. Between Friday and Sunday the broadcast centre would be reassembled and all cameras and cabling around the circuit would be completed by Wednesday. The equipment was tested on Thursday in preparation for the first broadcast of a race meeting on Friday.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The initial offering consisted of five different channels, as well as a sixth "Super-Signal" channel, which combined footage from the first 4 individual channels listed below. This "Super-Signal" feed was similar in style to what was available on the regular terrestrial broadcasts, however it differed in that it had access to more cameras, had extra graphics including a lap counter and broadcast radio conversations conducted by the teams. The first channel showed action from the trackside cameras as well as onboard and pitlane. A second channel focused on showing action that was taking place involving cars lower down the running order. The third channel consisted entirely of material from the <a href="/wiki/Onboard_camera" title="Onboard camera">onboard cameras</a> of the cars whilst the fourth consisted of material from the cameras located in the pit-lane running a highlights reel of action from the race up to that point, every 20 minutes. The fifth channel transmitted the data screens available to the teams at the circuit, showing timing information (positions, laptimes etc.)<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>From 1999, a new design for the graphic overlays was introduced to distinguish it from the standard coverage, and to incorporate new features such as race control updates. At the <a href="/wiki/2002_United_States_Grand_Prix" title="2002 United States Grand Prix">2002 United States Grand Prix</a>, the digital feed was available free on the normal channels, such as <a href="/wiki/Formula_One_coverage_on_ITV" title="Formula One coverage on ITV">ITV</a>. Although the option to change to a different camera was not available, the coverage was more extensive, featuring the overlays, additional cameras and team radio from the channel.

Team Radio was broadcast at the <a href="/wiki/2004_Chinese_Grand_Prix" title="2004 Chinese Grand Prix">2004 Chinese Grand Prix</a> and was available at every race from the 2006 season onwards. </p><p>The biggest innovation of pay per view was a permanent production team at every Grand Prix, establishing consistent quality over the variable nature of host broadcasters. The success of F1 Digital+ in this area resulted in Formula One Management gradually taking control of the World Feed in the subsequent seasons.
