I PMd Spenser this morning asking if it was going to be on the same tier as TVG or would I have to buy another level of programming? No answer yet.

EDIT: Reading the story you posted sounds positive..The paper this morning didn't say that much

"HRTV will be available on Comcast's Digital Sports Tier on Channel 407, joining other prominent sports networks including the NFL Network, NHL Network, Tennis Channel, CSTV, and various Fox Sports Regional Networks."

I already get those other ones....so I'm pumped.

You mean Comcast is actually giving us ANOTHER channel without having to pay more?? Seems to go against everything those crooks ( sorry Brian) stand for

Jeez, I don't think I want to be your go-to Comcast guy anymore. No love.

Looks like it's going into our Sports Tier -- which means that if you already get those channels, it should come into your package on April 30. If you don't subscribe to the Sports Tier, you'd have to call in and add it to your account (which would be a no truck roll addition, just ask for it, they'll update your converter, and you'll have it) and I want to say it's $6.99/mo.

It is pretty awesome, I am real pumped about it because I like watching Arlington from home if I am feeling lazy. And I can't stand Arlington on Sundays with all these damn kids running around, especially if I want to watch the races from the apron.....

I am REAL excited about this summer, I can't wait

The tracks I do the best with are AP and CD.... finally get to see them again on tv. I watch them most days to see if I can pick anything up for track biases. I normally don't go much on Sun's either, because I'd rather go on Saturday to see the better stakes races, but I agree that the apron is a very good place to watch them from.
