Same for NHL Center Ice. The NHL offers the same thing, via online streaming, for half the price of the satellite companies. For me, it's a DUH thing. Why pay the cable companies or satellite companies so much for something I can get on my computer? Nascar is so far behind the times, it's not funny. Why they insist on keeping such a tight grip on their failing product confounds me.

My cable in Canada won't broadcast the race on TSN1 with the basic cable package unless there is absolutely no other sport they can show in that time slot, but are required to pay for a higher priced package or (pay for the channel) that includes TSN2 which broadcasts the race. I refuse to pay the higher price and will watch the race on the internet. For the most exciting chase in History Canada will broadcast on TSN2.

That's been my main issue with viewing online content versus paying for cable or satellite.<br /><br />Some people say wireless is the future, but it is the present. If it wasn't the present, the cell phone providers wouldn't be selling so many phones capable of receiving TV and movies via their phone.

Although I'm not one of the Gen Xer's, I use my computer and other toys for a lot more than I use my TV these days.<br /><br />If it's on NASCAR.com and I can stream it, that's great for me - it's about time. I already use trackpass (not raceview, that is way too clunky for me) to follow the race and my driver.<br /><br />If ESPN is ONLY going to offer it to TWC customers, then I'm going to be annoyed because I have a different cable provider and I'll be left out.<br /><br />They probably aren't promoting it yet because all of the legal ends are still out there to be tied up.<br /><br />I like convergence and being able to cut the cord. I thought that was what I would be able to do with satellite radio, but that fell short of my expectations, so I hope that the brave new world of Nascar content being streamed will finally become available.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46915082564335346732010-11-16T11:40:00.128-05:002010-11-16T11:40:00.128-05:00I've watched more TV from the internet on my 5...I've watched more TV from the internet on my 52in TV then ever before. Just plug the laptop into it - wolla. On demand with thousands of shows to choose from. YES - they are re-runs. However - so is what's available on demand from Comcast. What is available online shames cable on demand. If a race was broadcast online with choices of camera angles I'd turn broadcast TV off for the entire race and pick my camera angles. I guess there lies the problem. Fans turning the cruddy broadcasts of Fox and Espn off. (I still like TNT's broadcasts) The internet will eventually take over our cable - just a matter of time. And I say that with full confidence because the internet is wireless. Nascar better catch up. The old dudes smoking cigars in the back room patting themselves on the back is over.

Cable sucks as it compresses the signal so much that even HD looks terrible at times. Everywhere there are commercials, on the cars, fans, talking heads, and in the corner of the screen. Cable Companies squeeze even more commercials into the broadcasts and finally the coverage just stinks. I usually flip back to the race only during commercials on the other channels I watch and Have not watched a whole race in 2 years. I enjoy an occasional Formula 1 race event though it has to rain for their to really be a race instead of a parade. Indy cars are no longer available on most cable networks so I enjoy my Blu-ray movies and TV shows.
