Don't count on it......
From what I hear Rupert Murdoch is heavily involved in ownership of both Direct and TVG and therefore won't add HRTV.
It just makes me insane was going to get shut out of the Fairgrounds 35 minutes away.
So I finally broke down and installed Dish for the one channel, cost about 35.00 a month. Kept Direct because they have the most HD channels and better programming packages, although I have everything.
I absolutley HATE Dish Network their DVR is sooooooooo stupid and just a pain to set a program to record or check the caller ID. Direct is so much more user friendly.
I imagine Comcast was lobbied by Churchill that's what they did down here so that COX would carry HRTV and were successful but it didn't help me or anyone outside of New Orleans as the other cable providers don't carry it. Shoot there was a big to do about Charter(local cable on the northshore) carrying the Hornets, so if you had charter you couldn't watch the hornets. The whole thing is so proprietary it makes the subscribers just nuts.
As to HRTV I just love it, only watching TVG now because of Keeneland.
Race Day America in the mornings is great it's like the Today Show of Horseracing, news and trivia.
They give you trainers with entries, what the odds were when they show results.
All Directv subscribers really need to bombard them to add HRTV, I write and or call every week. Maybe we need to contact Rupert Murdoch.
OK back to Keeneland now that I had my hissy fit.....
