Internet Racing
 

I am looking at getting cable high speed internet( $61per month), I currently have dial up which doesn't let me view the live feed of the races for my internet accounts( Bet Pad and Xpressbet) , I was wondering how good is cable high speed for viewing the races over my computer? Is it the same quality as viewing a race over television?


Thanks.

Mike.

Mike,

I got 250 DSL and I am still having some problems viewing the races.
But it is a lot better than dial up.
It seems like nothing is a good as the adds on TV.

Hi Mike,

well, I live in Germany and I always watch the US races through the Magna betting site. The internet streams are really good with a high speed broadband connection. Sometimes, they streams have no audio, but the pictures are okay.
On big racing days there could be some delays, but that is really seldom.

But the digital pictures on the tv racing channels are cleary the best.

Thanks...

Greetings

i do have high speed service with comcast. i also use xpress-bet. the fed is 30-35 secs behind TV. one can view small, med, and full screen. i have a sony vaio with i think a 14'-15' screen, and as i watched PEN last week i had a bit of trouble picking up the cloth colors. daytime tracks are better. light. depending on ones pc, the picture is not perfectly clear like a tv. BUT when the wife wants to watch golf and tiger.. the picture is fine. like watching a 17" TV.

I have Cox Cable down her in New Orleans and I am very happy with the high speed cable. I am currently paying $ 41.95 and have never had any problems with it YET !

Mike, I forgot to add that I have no problems watching the races with the high speed cable internet.

Does that mean the picture won't be fine for the rest of the year...?

Watching Races
 

Mike I have QWest DSL and can watch races over internet very well. I pay 26 dollars a month and this is a lifetime lock on the price. Also have DISH network which has two racing channels so can watch on tv most if not all tracks around the country and also Australia and Hong Kong at times.

tv
 

well ok Mr. Ted, the picture is fine the rest of the year:D

I would suggest RTN ..you get all the tracks LIVE and the picture is as good as HD and plays on your TV. The will give you the dish and box, get it installed and you will get all the racing direct from racetracks( with NO delay) plus about 20 dog tracks if that floats your boat

Thank You for all the replys.


Mike.

I have 5 meg dsl and watch the races on youbet, philly phonbet, and lone Star on magna. Much better than dial up but HRTV and TVG are much better. After watching the triple crown on hi-def this year the previously mentioned look terrible! Richard
