Default HRTV audio added to SXM lineup

As hinted for the past couple of months, HRTV's audio stream has been added to the Sirius 93, XM 209 & SportsZone 961 channels augmenting ATR, HRRN and Down the Stretch for virtual 24 hour horse racing and equine sport coverage...

On XM, it may be less constant because of the bandwith issue. With all the sports play-by-play channels on XM, they may cherry pick when they utilize the HRTV feed. It all is just getting going. I'll find out specifics this week.

Still business as usual on Sirius 93; ESPN Chicago still comes on at 10am.

Today (after 10AM) my Sirius radio is tuned to 93, and the screen is saying "At The Races...", but the audio is still ESPN Chicago.

The display on my Sirius receiver says HRTV, but the audio is still ESPN Chigago. I just wrote to Sirius to see what was up, but does anyone here have any ideas?

What do you mean? HRTV feed has been running on SXM when ATR, HRRN or DTS aren't on.

XM 209 has never played HRTV on any channel to my knowledge so far, you get Steve in the AM and replay's, the pre race card Saturday people, occasionally weekend racing via the horse racing radio network but never HRTV unless they are using another channel other than XM 209. TVG is long gone off XM as far as I can tell...

Satellite sports on the radio is still an ugly mess since the merger now with the loss of NFL Network's programming on mobile devices and the continued record setting underperforming of their third world based customer service at least for customers who signed up initially for XM.

Maybe with the new year things will get cleaned up a bit but I wouldn't hold my breath....

This must be for initial sign up Sirius customers. I realize it is all supposed to be one organization XM/Sirius since the merger but do not find that to be the case as evidenced again by your post above. It could be a technical glitch which I seem to be cornering the market on lately but something is amiss here.

I've heard HRTV on 209, the problem for me is that on weekends after DTS it's just the "what's on sirius sports radio" ad infinitum that is played on at least 5 channels.

Same here. At times the screen on my Sirius receiver does say HRTV, but it's definitely ESPN crap on the audio.

I emailed Sirius:
Quote:
I am a Sirius subscriber. I understand that channel 93 Sports Play-By-Play is supposed to be carrying the feed from the Horse Racing televison channel HRTV. Unfortunately, while the display screen on my receiver says HRTV, the audio playing is still ESPN Chicago. Will this be fixed so the horse racing fans such as myself can enjoy this programming? Thank you for your attention.
And this was their response:
Quote:

Original Sirius people do not get this on 93. This programming is all available on your channel on the internet radio.

This is very odd...

I've been away now 10 days, but I'm sure the XM in my Buick and the Stiletto Sirius boombox in the house both had the HR feed over the holidays... I'll check with New York soon as I get a chance for exact schedule.

FYI this is what we get in Tampa on Sirius 93:

6:00 AM - 9:00 AM = Previous Day's ATR
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM = Live ATR
10:00 AM - 2PM - Waddles and Slappy (Chicago ESPN I believe)
2PM - 4PM - Lupica
4PM - 7PM sometimes HRRN (usually Thursday and Friday or just Friday) mostly Don LaGreca and Michael Kay

On Sunday I think they played HRTV's feed in between college basketball.
