I can barely read the scroll to see prices. The colors "blend" and the font is so thick it is hard to tell the difference in "6" and "8"..."1" and "7" when checking Pk3's and Pk4's.

Saw some of the Keene and SA races today and I had trouble seeing the saddle cloths until they got 50 yards from the wire. Was looking from PP's to the screen and back to try and identify my silks.

The screen is Vertically stretched and if you choose Full Screen it blurs terribly. Going to be patient through the weekend but track feeds through XB video will be running as well.

I have dish and the setup is awful....1/3rd screen racing muddies everything and I have no clue what's going on...too many moving pieces on the screen making it hard to focus on anything when 4 parts of the screen are moving...as bad as the hrtv format was its now superior to tvg

Call your cable or satellite provider and request that they show the signal in HD.
After an hour of back and forth with tvg and dish the best answer I got was from dish. They claim there is a middle man who collects from both the broadcaster and provider. The MM is in a dispute with dish as to how much dish needs to pay for the signal.
I put in a request to dish to have them show it and will continue to do so everyday. If they get enough requests the chances will increase that it could be shown eventually.
Don't waste your time complaining here, call your provider instead.

My complaint with TVG is that they delete the TRAKUS info from the tracks that use it, and they do their own thing on the side which is usually wrong.
