I noticed it started doing that last week when I watched replays. It might have something to do with increased traffic because of the BC.

Is there any cable or dish package I can get where anything Joe Tessitore says is automatically muted?
I would be willing to pay top dollar.

I went ahead and signed up for 12 months for 49.95. I think it is worth it and I am just happy that I can see more tracks live. I can only get TVG on my cable system.

Though 49.95 is chump change for one year, however i dont see the point of paying money to watch live races on your computer. I assume you can only watch Magna tracks?
Twinspires video and replays are free, Youbet live video and replay are free, dish network is cheaper than cable and you get both HRTV and TVG

The whole HD thing is also pointless if your watching it on a crappy computer monitor streaming.

Twinspires requires you to bet on races and have a set amount of money in the account to watch races. Also they do not show all tracks either. I do not think I should have to actually bet on a race to get the opportunity to watch it.

I like HRTV quite a bit. No network is perfect, and they have their share of people I find rather obnoxious, but in general, I love the coverage and pacing of everything. Prefer to watch my races there than anywhere else.
