The new and IMPROVED TVG
 

wow.....new set / hd / valet cam/ jockey cam/ big grip cam/ lots to like,

bray and matt still force the mute. matt should really unbutton his jacket. he is a fashion nightmare.

Its HD now on Direct/Dish or stream?

What tracks do they show in HD, I assume NYRA and Ky?

Not in HD on Dish. Hope it comes soon.

I like the valet and jockey cams. Something different to liven things up....

Don't like how they turned my 60in TV into a 20in

Agreed. More screen real estate needs to be of the live racing.

An easy fix if they choose to do so.

Can there really be any improvement with TVG until they get all the clowns off the bus?

What a bunch of douches. They say I'm watching the first ever hd broadcast of racing coast to coast. Um, no I'm not. I have dish.

They really need to bring back Rudolph.

Never thought I would need my track binoculars to see the tv screen

Terrible setup. Why would I care about Purse info and race conditions while watching the race in process? And is that information needed to occupy half the screen?

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid

I can barely read the scroll to see prices. The colors "blend" and the font is so thick it is hard to tell the difference in "6" and "8"..."1" and "7" when checking Pk3's and Pk4's.

Saw some of the Keene and SA races today and I had trouble seeing the saddle cloths until they got 50 yards from the wire. Was looking from PP's to the screen and back to try and identify my silks.

The screen is Vertically stretched and if you choose Full Screen it blurs terribly. Going to be patient through the weekend but track feeds through XB video will be running as well.

when the day started they were showing the race on the full screen. i don't know what happened to that.

I have dish and the setup is awful....1/3rd screen racing muddies everything and I have no clue what's going on...too many moving pieces on the screen making it hard to focus on anything when 4 parts of the screen are moving...as bad as the hrtv format was its now superior to tvg

Call your cable or satellite provider and request that they show the signal in HD.
After an hour of back and forth with tvg and dish the best answer I got was from dish. They claim there is a middle man who collects from both the broadcaster and provider. The MM is in a dispute with dish as to how much dish needs to pay for the signal.
I put in a request to dish to have them show it and will continue to do so everyday. If they get enough requests the chances will increase that it could be shown eventually.
Don't waste your time complaining here, call your provider instead.

Whats with the box and making the actual race about 1/3rd of the screen? Who comes up with that and says "thats a good idea".

My complaint with TVG is that they delete the TRAKUS info from the tracks that use it, and they do their own thing on the side which is usually wrong.

having simon bray walking on the track commenting the post parade is unneccesary

The new and IMPROVED TVG
 

Has anyone but me noticed that their "crawl" showing the results from Keeneland (and possibly other tracks) is incorrect with regard to the exacta prices?

For example, in today's 1st race they had the 5/6 exacta paying $12.80 for $2, while that is actually the $1 price.

I sent them an e-mail about it, but it hasn't been fixed yet, I don't think.

Amen...........I also agree with the comments about the screen layout during the races. USE THE FULL SCREEN FOR THE SHOWING OF THE RACE! As has been said on here numerous times, TVG is not about live racing, it's about promoting the 'morons' they have as commentators.

Total pet peeve from yesterday..............had to wait basically an hour to catch abbreviated replays of the late double from Tampa. Pathetic......:zz:

P.S.-- got Dish Network for the first time earlier this week so now at least I can watch HRTV. No comparison how much better they are than TVG.

It's a disaster. Not surprising.

TVG on-air talent is the equivalent of the Tri-lambs from Revenge of the Nerds but without the humor.
