then why the need to watch on tvg? not understanding? why would you want to watch racing if you are already there? or is rupert a jockey?

Because there are more then California tracks out there, and TVG brings it all to you in one swoop.

Thanks for the link Scuds, I think I am going to change, it looks like it might be a little cheaper than Digital Cable, plus I get TVG, HRTV, NFL Network, and ESPNU. I will have to check with TW to see what it will do to my internet bill, but I will likely change.

Make sure you have a south viewing point as the dish needs to be pointed that way....It is also negative when you get weather like you are accustom to in the spring/winter because the picture will 'square' up......

I moved and don't have a clear view of the southern sky anymore. Thusly, no more TVG. At least there's always Rosecroft.

That could be a deal breaker, I am not putting one of those things on the front of my house, I guess I'll have to let them take a look and see if it can go around back...

P5: TW has upgraded Adelphias' DSL and the office told me that my bill would drop 18 bucks a month...And the new DSL they're coming out with shortly is 2 gig instead of 768megs! But TW's channel lineup is fraught with multiple channels carrying the same thing. I can't get Direct TV,apparently due to the location of my apartment!

I'm actually not out there nearly that often. I pretty much only go if we have a horse running. Once in a great while, I go out in the morning to watch our horses train.

But that's irrelevant any way. I'm in the business and I obviously need to be able to watch the races all over the country. The only way I come up with horses to buy privately is from scouting that I do by watching races on television. Over 90% of the horse that we've tried to buyhave been horses that I spotted back East on TVG.
