TVG is borderline unwatchable. Mute is your friend.

Guess it is a non-issue. They have kept the better channel. AT&T will tell you they are still in negotiation with TVG to try and get it back.

The U-Verse message board was interesting as apparently people thought that only about 6 people or so watched horse racing and they all had gambling problems. The perception of horse racing fans outside of the circle is just not good.

I had to bail on AT&T, going back to Direct, Losing my HRTV. agree the guys on TVG are annoying which tends to piss me off big time especially when I get beat out of a Pick 4 or something.

Have Comcast here, they only carry TVG. When I visit my son in SoCal he has both, just hoping someday Comcast gets HRTV someday

Have to admit, like some previous psoters, the mute is my friend.
I enjoy the work by Tom Amoss when he's on, prett much only during the Keeneland.

Comcast here too but to even get TVG, I would have to package it up with other channels that I do not want and pay more for "less". Comcast users should sned in their requests to add HRTV.......I did. and I would pay for the package if it were in it.

We only get TVG. My loss. Hopefully Comcast will soon get HRTV.

I have Comcast. Have been getting both HRTV and TVG for years now.

I'm pretty sure that TVG is standard with cable and HRTV is part of the "Sports Entertainment Package" for an additional $9 per month. Sports package includes several other channels like NFL Red Zone, ESPN Goal Line, Pac12 ntwrk, etc

You're right on that one. I have the sports package and HRTV is a part of it.

Comcast offers both channels in some areas, and only TVG in others. Here in Philly it's only TVG and you need to pay the $9 a month for the upgraded package to get it.

I actually miss the old Philly Park Phonebet channel circa 2004 when they showed every major track and replays during the overnight hours. They eventually lost the rights to carry NYRA on the channel in 2005, but still carried everything else.
