They used to be good, now for the most part they suck.  My feed went off on the 4 wide salute and now I can't get anything.....

I actually got their site to open but you can't click on anything to get the race tonight, the schedule won't come up at all, conveniently you can't get the help department either.  I tried and everything is working and my signal is strong so it's all on them......

Yep ,,they used to be reliable but I don,t know whats changed?  Getting ready to dump Speedshift if I dont get refunds on races that are not rained out. Weather is 1 thing we pay not to see But every ppv iv,e tried to watch has been horrible.

Same here, crashed during four wide.   It's not just the race feed, their website was down as well.

SPEEDSHIFT Claims to have 24 hr 7 days support. If so why do I have to email my issues instead of 24,,,7 live support?

I'm watching the Modified Feature and a graphic went across the screen saying they're going to replay the Sprint Feature immediately after the conclusion of the Mod race.  Just a heads up in case anyone gave up and tuned out.  It must have been a pretty big mess as I couldn't get in their website with my laptop either.  I was streaming the race on the TV with a Fire Stick and don't have any connection issues on my end.

Stan, I a currently exchanging emails, their service ladies are excellent!  I woould like to speak to a Manager/Owner and suggest that he can hire some new technicians, if any of my employees screwed up this often they would be history.  Plan B might be a plan they want to look at.  Social Media can bury these folks....

Another thing if 50 mph huggy pole is exciting to these folks like that last tin race then these NY racefans have no cue....

I understand ppv can be hit or miss but everthing has been a miss. The cushion always had the best video and most reliable I have had.

Are they even around anymore?  I was using them for Knoxville once in a while until Dirtvision took over the Knoxville deal.

PPV has its its challenges but overall it's getting better but I dont see it ever having the stability of regular television broadcasts.  They're dealing with dirt tracks, most in a rural setting where connections aren't the greatest.  I expect some glitches but I still get frustrated when they happen.  I watched the replay after the Mod Feature and applaud them for playing it right after the Mods finished their race.

Yes, The Cushion still appears to be around. They have a schedule comprised mainly of streaming BAPS/Selinsgrove with some USCS stuff from down South sprinkled in, then some year end specials like Short Track Nationals and Trophy Cup. 

They were great in pioneering a lot of this stuff but I for one am glad to see DV get the Nationals deal. It seemed the Cushion was OK with underforecasting their demand for the Nationals and there would always be issues Wednesday night, which they would inevitably fix, but it was like clockwork on an annual basis. Plus DV broadcasts at a higher bitrate and seems to have way better overall quality.

I can do an occasional $40 for a month of either Dirtvision of Speed Shift and an occasional Knoxville weekly at $17.99.  That's about all I can do while still managing a live race once or twice a month.  Retirement is great but the entertainment funds do have their limits.  wink

Didn't watch speedshift this past weekend but it's been good all year for me, aside from a few minor glitches that only happened a couple times. Apparently you can't watch multiple races on separate devices under the same account anymore.
