TVG

Hi Guys/Gals

Im a fellow horse lover and Ive been reading and enjoying all of your posts for a while now. I just got the TVG network on Comcast and I was wondering if I could get some info from you all about the channel. I watched it this weekend off and on and realized that they didn't show wither Gulfstream or Santa Anita, but they showed tracks like Fairgrounds and Turfway all day long. Do they always shwo these tracks on the weekends or do they mix it up?

Thanks guys

HRTV has the rights to Santa Anita, Gulfstream and Oaklawn (unfortunately) TVG had Hollywood Park, Churchill (I believe), Keeneland and the NYRA tracks.

TVG won't have Churchill for long. (Hopefully)

munster, I just became a Comcast subscriber through their acquisition of Adelphia. When I was an Adelphia customer, TVG was not offered. TVG is still not offered as of yet, but I'm guessing that it will be in the near future. Were you also in this same boat (former Adelphia or Time Warner subsciber)?

I hope you were and this means that the ball is rolling toward getting some horse racing on TV in my area. I like to wager from home, but the video feeds on the internet are somewhat grainy and tough to tell which horse is which.

I'll stop posting picks and get real petty and chastise others for their picks. Then we can go shopping for the same clothes and call ourselves the petty sisters.

I wasn't chastising anyone for their picks..it was something that happened on HRTV yesterday that I was making the joke about. Sorry you took it the wrong way.

My mistake. She was a bad single for me and add that to the cancelled gp card which I handicapped and it equals an angry PP.

If it makes you feel better we can still go shopping.

No, Ive always been a Comcast member, all you have to do is upgrade to the "Digital Preffered" package, it has the NFL Network and TVG among others

from what i've read...churchill, Oak Tree, and Hollywood contracts with TVG are up after this year. Hopefully they'll go to someone who doesn't put a surcharge on wagers.

PP,

If they do, that someone will have to be someone new. No way CD goes with Magna-HRTV.

Don't want fees? Try BRISBET. Free pdf pp's too with a bet on a card.

Problem is, since I was with Adelphia before, I still have my Adelphia channels, which did not offer TVG. At some point, my area should become assimilated with the Comcast channels, but they will not reveal when that will happen. I was just hoping that it was starting to occur in other areas.

Currently, for me to watch the real analog signal, I have to go to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods, which is ok, but I would prefer to stay home most of the time and watch a nice, crisp picture on my own television.

Thanks anyways

Mes5107,

Chuck the cable and get Dish Network. It carries both horse racing channels as part of its basic package.

TVG loses Churchill and it is BYE BYE Network, can't live off Los Al and Meadowlands very long. They have caused alot of problems with their exclusivity BS, and I am kinda in a bind as I love TVG and have it, but I hope they get a taste of their own medicine.....

I have a feeling you are going to see Churchill launch their own channel,kinda along the lines of what HRTV does now.
