Is there a market for TV coverage of Dog Racing and Jai Lai? Just watch out for those exclusives.

If they lose NYRA tracks when the new bidder is awarded franchise, they wont have alot to hang onto.

With the CDI/Magna TV merger one might expect the top tracks will be covered by them and the also rans left for TVGreed

I sent them an e mail asking if they would carry HRTV in the near future. They sent a reply saying that they didn't sell high definition TVs. Just goes to show you how much time they spend reading your inquire.

I'd be very surprised if Direct doesn't start carrying it now the CDI is adding to HRTV's lineup.

I sent Direct TV and HRTV an email a few weeks ago asking the same question. Direct TV gave me the runaround and said when they get more bandwith (later this yr) they will be adding channels....but they didnt get specific. HRTV replied that they have been trying to get on Direct TV for a while.

First, YANKEES SUCK!!! Second, Blame your greedy S.O.B. owner for any Provider not having the YES Network, it's George's way or the highway whether it has to do with the team personell or letting you diehard Yankee fans watch the team that you have loved for generations on TV. He almost didn't have NY cable providers have YES without giving their left n*t for it. Too bad all the $$$ hasn't bought them a ring in awhile, just the AL East for $180-$200 Mill a pop.

Also, I believe Adelphia in New England had TVG as I tried to see if it were possible to receive it a few years ago but didn't even get a reply back, we in Upstate NY(West of Capital Region) didn't get it under Adelphia. Now we are all Time Warner and only get Capital OTB, which we had before as well. They do a pretty good job although the choice of tracks running sometimes is questionable and not everyone can get to the track or OTB so it would be nice to watch SPA racing live from home. The cappin shows are great to watch as it is interesting to hear others views as well as see them here.

Talking Estreet TVG Group Leader

Hey Estreet...finally figured this thing out. I see you broke 1000 Point mark in the Fantasy racing. Nice Job.
