Default Bris and youbet no video

While the ESPN coverage was entertaining , I missed the paddock,and post parades for all the races. I cannot get TVG on cable or dish where I live due to restrictions in condo association, so I was flying blind for my inspection handicapping, which is a big part of my game. I might have missed it, but nowhere did BRISbet and Youbet announce beforehand that they would not have a video feed. They had the TVG feed for the first 2 non BC races and then went black. This really irked me, as it was unexpected and I would not have stayed home to wager had I known this beforehand. Where did everyone view this years BC, at home, a simo place etc ?

Home for me. Youbet, Pinnacle and ESPN. I love going to Calder this time of the year but we had company and I didn't really miss being there.

Nope Scavs, couldn't see anything. The numbers were fine but the video wasn't there.

TVG had their own feed, I could see it on a TV set in the background when I went to another online TV feed from an otb site with their own panel and show . I believe simo places would have both the TVG feed and ESPN feed. I don't believe there was a CD feed, just TVG and ESPN. I prefer not to listen to the commentators,but need to see the horses in the paddock and post parade. I also didnot like the ESPN video of the races as I couldnot track the race with all the cutaways, closeups and aerial shots. Frustrating !
