Been trying all night and all it does is re-buffer! They will NOT be getting my money tomorrow night, as I didn't see squat tonight! These guys make dirt/vision look very good. I would highly recommend not buying this broadcast. I'll stick to the internet broadcast from the hoseheads guys.

I got something last year on RaceNetwork and it did pretty good but I got the copper on dirt from this year and I couldn't watch ANY of it because of the constant re-buffering....haven't spent any money there since.....the Dean Mills Copper DVD was AWESOME so i'm kinda glad I didn't get to see the webcast or else I never would have bought the DVD.

I have to agree and I sent them a message stating the same. The pic was frozen buffering for in excess of half the ASCOT A-Main. And for much of the midget action also. It was definitely frustrating waiting for more "streaming". 
It was nice to see Brad Sweet take the midget A-Main with a decent final restart, tho.

Oh well they got my $$$ for both nights already. I did get to see a few laps here and there but the buffering won in the end. I have seen better broadcasts online thats for sure.

Yes it reminded me why I did not subscribe to dirtvision this year. Of course they claim it was a weather issue. However they did answer all my emails which I am grateful for. The last one they said they would refund all or partial payment for the poor performance. Let's see what happens tonight as I took the two day package.

If they were trying to go up via satellite ISP - weather could affect the stream as rain clouds soak up little dish signal like a sponge. If the weather they were referring to is "Internet Weather" then they need a bigger pipe out of Knoxville - if it is available in that relatively little burg. Maybe another "Free Practice" test is in order this afternoon?

I got the Western World from race/network and it was great.. I checked and double checked to make sure I was close enough to the signal on the "speed test" they have on the system requirements page and to tell the truth was sceptical about the whole deal, but it worked fine for me .http://www.speedtest.net/index.php
I would recommend clicking on the speed test, it will show you where the signal is coming from and how fast the signal is coming to where you are at. I emailed them with the results and asked there opinion on the results. They confirmed my thoughts, it was fast.

I'm not sure, but as long as your computer is over the system recommendation's and you receive a strong signal it should be fine. My friends in California said it was good for them as well.
My speed test that I just ran read 4400KB/S on the upload. My down was 714. I'm appr 50 miles from the signal and I'm up in the mountain area. My ping is 98.
How far from the signal are you and what does the test tell you?
