http://tv.foxsportsasia.com/ (http://tv.foxsportsasia.com/)

Looks like the content is the same (so far), and it's just a rebranding.

I can't really tell since I never subscribed to ESPN HD. but there were times when there was no F1 coverage on Star Sports and the F1 coverage was on ESPN instead.

I hope the real ESPN does show up in the future.
