No More TVG For Me

[2 Dollar Bill]

I still shake my head everytime I hear a ""cable company cant give you a channel"".. I have had (old name primestar) directv for over 10 years now. Just like the NFL network, how can a cable company NOT give you that... Opps I forgot it comes to $$$$$$$$$.. Its amazing they run a cable to your house, you send a check every month and THEY tell you what you can watch or NOT watch. Or the best is.. ""we dont have a channel for that, and we would have to TAKE off a channel."" If everyone just stopped cable for ONE month, I wonder HOW fast they would change ? These cable owners are making a fortune , and could care less about each homeowner.

do you at least get HRTV? I used to get it, and along with midwest fox affilates used to carry 2 hours of it. But its all gone.

do what normal folk do, go to the racetrack. if you cant make it during the week, dont follow and limit your experiences to the weekend. you can live without tvg. take a few deep breaths. everythings going to be okay.

then why the need to watch on tvg? not understanding? why would you want to watch racing if you are already there? or is rupert a jockey?

Because there are more then California tracks out there, and TVG brings it all to you in one swoop.

Thanks for the link Scuds, I think I am going to change, it looks like it might be a little cheaper than Digital Cable, plus I get TVG, HRTV, NFL Network, and ESPNU. I will have to check with TW to see what it will do to my internet bill, but I will likely change.

I'm actually not out there nearly that often. I pretty much only go if we have a horse running. Once in a great while, I go out in the morning to watch our horses train.

But that's irrelevant any way. I'm in the business and I obviously need to be able to watch the races all over the country. The only way I come up with horses to buy privately is from scouting that I do by watching races on television. Over 90% of the horse that we've tried to buyhave been horses that I spotted back East on TVG.
