Default TVG race coverage
I don't know if it's been discussed yet or not...if so I'm sorry.....what is with tvg and the dopey commentator announcing the race with no video???? completely stupid and a waste of time. I had to turn it off and not see the florida derby.

Cool
They never show the races live on TV. You have to go on their site for their live video as a customer of TVG. So they came up with the idea of Gate Crashers and one of the ex announcers calling the race live. Sort of like an old time radio broadcast

The mute button should be your best friend when watching TVG and the channel should never be turned on until Keeneland opens up.

why did XM decide to go with the TVG feed and not the HRTV... I just hope when I turn to channel 243 that its either Steve or the computer telling what's on the rest of the sports channels... those guys are so bad.

Yeah, I did the same last weekend. It was either that or slit my wrists.

Frank Lyons is probably the only one I could watch in that capacity..... in fact I think I'd kill to see that.

The Sirius channel sucks because they play sports at night most of the time.l
