As a result, we see the same 6 commercials on every commercial break. When I have a chance to watch a complete race, I usually have the laptop beside me reading this site and looking for online features, such as MRN/PRN radio feeds so I don't have to listen to those same 6 TV commercials over and over. Unfortunately, due to licencing rights, most US radio stations cannot steam audio in Canada.<BR/><BR/>I was surprised to find online streaming video of FOX's broadcast online and was happy to have a choice. Last year, I took advantage of TNT's Race Buddy for the different camera angles. I was getting excited to watch the "old timer's" race after the Nationwide race on Saturday, but it won't be on TV up here.<BR/><BR/>There are ways to connect the computer to LCD TVs, although it takes extra equipment. We are looking at the future with online content.<BR/><BR/>Also, in Canada, we still have to pay for HotPass through Bell TV which is about $160 cdn per year.John O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864529564848244694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-40126401912163877762009-03-18T13:24:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:24:00.000-04:00I would love to have video available on line if I ...I would love to have video available on line if I didn't have to be subject only to the way that races are being broadcast now. Honestly, if it was a for pay service, then I want to be able to pick my view AND have no commercials. I have watched Speed's shows and I now watch some TV shows that way, if I've missed them. Heck, if I could get rid of the $$ I spend on cable per month, and be able to watch races on my own schedule, wow, that would be awesome.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16821995850328558842009-03-18T11:55:00.000-04:002009-03-18T11:55:00.000-04:00I'd use the laptop when I'm not home to watch a ra...I'd use the laptop when I'm not home to watch a race on our HD TV. Right now, I use race time to 1) listen to the radio announcers call the race with the sound muted on the TV, 2) read TDP, and 3) catch up on the chores I hate, like ironing and polishing the flatware. Basically, I don't have time to watch Nasvar video online unless it's something special.<BR/><BR/>We do use Hulu to catch shows we've missed. I read the Christian Science Monitor online for world news we never get in our local paper (which we get) or national news at 6:30. BBC America's news is the only TV news program we watch regularly, again because it covers world news.<BR/><BR/>Love Race Buddy, btw.

I enjoy the widescreen view I get on tv. I do add to my tv experience using the laptop as others have said. Usually with nascar.com pts current pts standings, foxtrax to see who is where with speed and time, and of course in progress with The Daly Planet. I did like racebuddy when TNT had it. Sometimes I also watch the post race stuff on NASCAR.com.<BR/><BR/>So, yes I do multi-task and I happen to enjoy doing that. But, I do not care to add another box in the small screen. I have widescreen in sd , looking forward to it later this season in hd.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036612315003068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78810542625274505272009-03-18T08:49:00.000-04:002009-03-18T08:49:00.000-04:00I just plopped down a big chuck of change for Majo...I just plopped down a big chuck of change for Major League Baseball's package so I can watch games on my computer from around the country. I think if NASCAR offered something fans couldn't get on regular TV - like MLB's offering of out of town games - live online content might work. Maybe a Hot Pass-type service or better yet a behind the scenes full access on race morning to the driver's meeting and pre-race introductions etc. I also think live streaming video for developmental series like Camping World East and West and the modified tours might have an onlne audience since there is no longer live coverage of any of those divisions.<BR/><BR/>Pete PistoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67757927067555731502009-03-18T08:10:00.000-04:002009-03-18T08:10:00.000-04:00I just prefer to watch tv for relaxing.I think we ...I just prefer to watch tv for relaxing.I think we can get to see all the missed things also through online as the technologies have improve so much.<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-66803154663873843122009-03-18T00:41:00.000-04:002009-03-18T00:41:00.000-04:00I've had to downgrade from HD Hotpass to the most ...I've had to downgrade from HD Hotpass to the most basic of cable..with no speed or espn classic...thank goodness for justin.tv or i'd go nuts...really hope TNT brings racebuddy back..i look forward to when our tv and pc is all in one...just hope i can get a job to afford it..thanks for coming back Mr. Daly...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-333875395121617002009-03-18T00:21:00.000-04:002009-03-18T00:21:00.000-04:00Thanks Amy!Thanks Amy!Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9370573726236364392009-03-17T23:40:00.000-04:002009-03-17T23:40:00.000-04:00I prefer to watch the race on TV with my cpr at TD...I prefer to watch the race on TV with my cpr at TDP and Internet radio on for commercials.

This past weekend I watched the CA Championship. I often watch tennis. <BR/><BR/>Those who have their head in the sand, will regret it. Just because you are not comfortable with the technology, doesn't mean the rest of the universe wants to stay put.<BR/><BR/>Today yet another newspaper printed its last edition. Now it will only be online. I work for a huge organization, and the younger ones here all "read" their newspaper on their phone!. Some say they have never bought a paper in their lives!<BR/><BR/>They also get all kinds of content. They have feeds of their favorite sports, tv programs, twitter, blogs, etc. <BR/><BR/>Millions of us work in office buildings. I wait about 2 hours so that I miss traffic. Of course there is no cable in my building, but I have my computer and happily pass the time away. I go to a local Starucks and see most the patrons on their lap tops. <BR/><BR/>I think all this technologies make us free. Not only can we have what we want, we also can decide where we get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25405859739949407372009-03-17T18:55:00.000-04:002009-03-17T18:55:00.000-04:00Rarely do I get to watch a live race from beginnin...Rarely do I get to watch a live race from beginning to end. Sundays are busy days and I usually end up making it home just in time to see the end of a race. So the ability to view the race on a laptop would be okay -- but the ultimate would be to have live race video available on a mobile handheld device that is not necessarily affiliated with Sprint. Right now, my love of the iPhone is far greater than any feelings I have for NASCAR or Sprint. (I don't know what this would do to the radio broadcasts, which are really outstanding.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-79625475064928511922009-03-17T18:40:00.000-04:002009-03-17T18:40:00.000-04:00No, I don't watch online NASCAR video.
