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....

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.

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?

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......

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.
