TVG

munster, I just became a Comcast subscriber through their acquisition of Adelphia. When I was an Adelphia customer, TVG was not offered. TVG is still not offered as of yet, but I'm guessing that it will be in the near future. Were you also in this same boat (former Adelphia or Time Warner subsciber)?

I hope you were and this means that the ball is rolling toward getting some horse racing on TV in my area. I like to wager from home, but the video feeds on the internet are somewhat grainy and tough to tell which horse is which.

No, Ive always been a Comcast member, all you have to do is upgrade to the "Digital Preffered" package, it has the NFL Network and TVG among others

Problem is, since I was with Adelphia before, I still have my Adelphia channels, which did not offer TVG. At some point, my area should become assimilated with the Comcast channels, but they will not reveal when that will happen. I was just hoping that it was starting to occur in other areas.

Currently, for me to watch the real analog signal, I have to go to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods, which is ok, but I would prefer to stay home most of the time and watch a nice, crisp picture on my own television.

Thanks anyways

Mes5107,

Chuck the cable and get Dish Network. It carries both horse racing channels as part of its basic package.

TVG loses Churchill and it is BYE BYE Network, can't live off Los Al and Meadowlands very long. They have caused alot of problems with their exclusivity BS, and I am kinda in a bind as I love TVG and have it, but I hope they get a taste of their own medicine.....

I gave Dish a very long look recently since it offers both TVG and HRTV, but I am not able to get it without erecting a post so that it can see over the trees, which is not allowed by management where I live. I had subscribed to both (first Dish then DirecTV) where I used to live, and I actually prefer regular cable a little bit more, especially during stormy weather.

I just hope that Comcast gets around to offering me TVG sooner rather than later.
