For the UK People:
Ok, heard back earlier today.
There are currently NO plans for live coverage on the F1 channel. Current plans are as follows:
Daily Live updates on Sky Sports News.
Ted will do a notebook every evening on First and Third test on the F1 Channel and no doubt this will be available online too.
It's expected there will be a daily 15 minute wrap every test on the F1 Channel but this is TBC
Live trackside commentary on Sky.com or skysports.com website plus picture galleries.
Caterham plan to reveal their 2014 contender on the morning of the first day of the Jerez test, January 28th.

Emphasis mine, but only so I can post a quote.Fans can choose from a selection of five different names listed on Ferrari’s official website.
The options available are F14 T, F14 Maranello, F14 Scuderia, F166 Turbo and F616. A winner will be chosen on January 24th.
Ferrari will then reveal its new car for the first time the following day. Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen plus team principal Stefano Domenicali, will also answer a selection of questions put forward by fans.

No one commenting on McLaren failing some of the mandatory FIA crash tests which put the board and Ron Dennis into a state of apoplexy, prompting Ron to take charge again and possibly meaning McLaren won't be at the first test?
