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...

I've been hounding Brighthouse for a year now. They are great for everything else. But absolutely NO horse racing. It may be time to switch to the dish.

I know Verizon fiber optic carries both TVG and RHTV but it's not available in my area yet.

i actually got ridda the dish a few months back and switched to comcast since they hada deal of 99.99 per month for the cable, cable internet and unlimited long distance phone service, that and the fact i was tired of my dish going out every single time the weather got a little bad. i had tvg and hrtv on the dish and now only have tvg and had to pay a little extra for it, hrtv isnt offered by comcast but fukk dat channel and fukk stronach anyways

They(Verizon) put a massive box in my front yard and have been hounding me to switch. Ugly ass thing is an eyesore. Also cut my water line while installing it. "Oops. Sorry. We'll get it fixed as soon as we can" was all I got out of the only one that spoke broken English.

Been with DirecTV for over 10 years and don't plan to switch unless they lose the NFL package. What TVG doesn't cover, I can watch on the internet.

I couldnt do without TVG.
HRTV is important during the Spring SA and Gulfstream meets.


I have DISH network b/c the cable companies around here dont carry TVG.
Id have DISH anyway though.
just a much better product.

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!
