I'm really not all that fond of HRTV because of the awful camera feed...it looks as if you're watching program back from the early 80's. Unfortunately since they have all the rights to Gulfstream & Santa Anita I have to grin and bear it.

As a whole though, the biggest 'fault' of both HRTV & TVG is their focus is on the California tracks so they will be showing you $8,000 claimers at Golden Gate instead of the horses prior to the Hal's Hope. I'd wish companies could or would recognize which races are really waiting for.

Why don't you guys watch the races on your computer.

HRTV and TVG are ok. I am with Sightseek, the total focus on the So Cal tracks is ridiculous. Once Hollywood started on TVG they would stay with that track from the post parade until the end of the race. You wouldnt get to see another race until 20 minutes after the race was official. I know that HRTV and TVG are based out west, but it is ridiculous. Also, HRTV's feed in extremely poor. It is blurry and the color is horrible. However, it is better than nothing.

Some computer screens are bigger than a tv. My sister has her computer hooked up to her TV some how. It is really cool.

If you're really just watching races I can see how you wouldn't have an online account. But if you want and need Exacta and mult-race will pays as well as replays and access to multiple years of charts and workouts, then having an online account is very useful.
