I gave Dish a very long look recently since it offers both TVG and HRTV, but I am not able to get it without erecting a post so that it can see over the trees, which is not allowed by management where I live. I had subscribed to both (first Dish then DirecTV) where I used to live, and I actually prefer regular cable a little bit more, especially during stormy weather.

I just hope that Comcast gets around to offering me TVG sooner rather than later.

i just pay a few bucks extra for a sports package through comcast and i get tv, lol although it seems the signals a little slow and their words arent matching their lips

I would say they are gone.

TVG will be out of business within 24 months in my opinion

TVG Tonight
 

Can anyone tell me if TVG will have mountaineer and/or penn national racing tonight?

Thanks

If not, I'm pretty sure you can go here and watch it too:

I hope we don't get three channels. We need ONE channel, not one more!

but doesn't the dish have problems in bad or raining weather. thats what i hear thats why i have gone to cable unstead of dish.

I've had Dish Network since the end of September without a single incident of losing signal cause of weather.

Ditto... when we had DirectTV, we only lost signal a couple of times and it actually survived 3 hurricanes without a single incident of signal loss. I'm pissed that I'm stuck with cable now. :mad:

I switched from cable to Dish over 2 years ago and I can count on one hand the number of times that I lost the signal. If I do lose the signal it is because a thunderstorm is right over my house and the signal is back in a couple of minutes. If you are a horse racing fan and are able to get Dish you owe it to yourself to do so. I would never want to go back to my days before Dish. Between the two horse racing channels I can see virtually every big race live. The other day my door bell rang and it was a salesman from the cable company trying to get me to re-subscribe. I told him they would never have me as a customer until they offered me HRTV and TVG. That usually stops their sales pitch.

losing the signal is greatly exaggerated if you ask me. I never lose my signal. the only time I have ever lost a signal was when they installed the dish in the winter right behind a tree that, of course, bloomed in the spring. Since they put the dish in a spot free of obstructions, I have NEVER lost a signal. Those that I know that have lost their signal have said it goes out for a few seconds and comes back momentarily.

so is part of the basic package for dish. cause i have cox comm. and they charge extra for tvg and don't offer hrtv. which costs me 129.00 a month cause i have to have ditigal cable to get it.

Yup, both TVG and HRTV are on the basic package which if you don't care about HD channels starts at $29.99 a month.

I must have had quite abnormal circumstances when I had Dish and DirecTV (Dish about 5 years ago and DirecTV 4 years ago until 2 years ago). Everytime it rained (a good, soaking rain or more) I would get a ton of "hiccups" in the signal. The harder it rained, the longer each hiccup was, which occasionally lasted an hour or more during a good rainstorm. It didn't happen all of the time, and the picture was generally very clean, but those nights are the ones that stick out.

for 30.00 amonth sure beats 129.00
wheni get back home will have to see about it.
