So far, I have been very happy with my decision to purchase the $39/month WoO Dirtvision package.  Obviously, the early rainouts didn't help the value of the package, but my thought was that it will all equal out.  I really enjoy walking in the door at 8:30 or 9:00 at night and being able to watch the feature.  Obviously, in the past this would not have been worth purchasing.  

Anyone else have any input?  I have had no connection issues or broadcast issues at all.  (so far)

Agree, it has been well worth it and with very few technical issues. The only wish I would have is if there was a way to go back and watch the heats or a main if you join late and missed them or they would run a replay of all events when they sign off so if you missed it after getting home from your local track you could flip it on and watch a replay.

If I did have a comment for improvement I would like to see the camera guys try to spread out the coverage as at times they seem to get focused on one battle and stick with it. Think it would be beneficial for the camera guy to have an ear piece in listening to Johnny as many times Johnny is calling some great action and the camera is focused elsewhere.

Overall well worth $39 a month, a great value.

I have nothing but good things about the Dirtvision coverage this weekend!

Great value  love being able to catch the midweek shows especially and sometime the A main after getting home from tracks around here on the weekends.  For the cost of one WoO ticket getting the entire month is a steal!!!

Been great so far, will be even better when they go further East and have more competition although last night at Haub was a nice surprise.....

Have it, love it, and am reupping for a second month. Best races so far, for me, were the Eldora shows with USAC, the POWRi race at I-55, and last night for sure. I was definitely pulling for Peck and thought it was good hard racing all around last night.

Can't complain too much. Happy with what I'm getting compared to what I'm paying.

I guess it would be nice to have the video available sooner if I miss it live due to other obligations. Wondering why it takes so long to have it available on demand.

Pleasantly surpised at how great the coverage has been. Getting to see tracks from all over the country is pretty cool as well.

Not sure the wife likes it as much as I do

I am very pleased with the coverage so far.  Would like ability to start the show on demand as mentioned above for nights when I am unable to watch live.  Other than that, it is wonderful.  Really gets good now as we start to get into the meat of the season with some weeknight shows sprinkled in.  Lincoln PA this week.  Should catch all those except for Fairbury IL which I will attend.  

Hopefully this is a successful venture for WoO and it spreads to other forms of dirt racing.  This is the way of the future for lots of event coverage.  Much cheaper than broadcast TV which makes it more feasible to pull off especially for niche sports like dirt racing is.  

All good points about the on demand being too delayed. 

Also good point about the wife not being as crazy about it as me.  She tends to not like things I enjoy. 

Thanks for the post about Dirtvision service.  I'm going to get it for the Jackson Nationals through night one of Cedar Lake to watch them while they're in my area.  That will include Jackson, "best dirt track" as well as some other familiar tracks.  I'll finish off the month live at Cedar Lake on night two.  I checked out some of their free archived races and they were higher resolution than some of the others I've used.

Same here.  My wife won't go within 500 feet of a dirt track and watches every reality show ever produced.  The solution was for me to get a 55" Roku TV for the man cave.  Problem solved.

My wife closes her eyes when we have sex.....as much as she enjoys it, she just can't stand to see me have a good time! She will go to the track but forget about her watching sprints on TV. She too is into the reality BS.

Just this past weekend, I watched three full events at Eldora and Haubstadt for 39 bucks.... about 24 days left in the deal - DirtVision is awesome

$40 a month feels like stealing considering what I was probably paying before.   As others have stated, it would be nice if DirtVision would be quicker to post the replay.  If those replays were made available sooner for the fast-pass subscribers, it would be another benefit of the fast-pass.  It seems like they post the replays on Thursday of the following week, currently.   Anyway, not complaining, just the opposite, it's a great service!!  Thanx, DirtVision.

"support your local track and stay positive"

The fact that I can't stream from my iphone and watch on my TV via Apple TV is a dealbreaker for me.  I can do this with every other streaming video site I use.  Not sure if I'm missing something, or if nobody else cares about this, but to me it is not worth it if I cant watch on my TV.

i watch on my iPhone and stream via AirPlay thru Apple TV to my tv 

ChromeCast.  I watch on my 65" tv each broadcast. 

Ok...what's the setup?  You open Dirtvision via Safari on your phone and can send it via Chromecast to your tv?

I’m in that same boat. Apple TV just won’t work with DirtVision yet every other website known to man will. 

Maybe someone from DirtVision could get on here with a solution perhaps?
