Will I be able to watch and/or listen to your broadcast on my Galaxy S4 from Verizon this year?  I tried unsuccessfully to listen to shows last year and could not get my phone to bring it up.  The Android I had before allowed me to do it but the Galaxy S4 wouldn't allow me to.  Any help?  Maybe your new web site and some possible updates will be better.  Thanks in advance and I look forward to your response.

I would guess not...had the same problem with my galaxy s3 and galaxy tab 10.1 last year...your device needs flash player and they do not have it...really sucks since I cant even listen to it...

Dolphin Browser has Flash capability

You can download flash directly from flashes website.  When you go to download it, it will ask your permission to download from an unknown source. Click yes.  I have a S4 and a Tab and dirtvision works on both just fine after I downloaded flash.

Phones with Android 4.3 and newer no longer have flash player installed but you can do it manually.  You also need a browser that supports the use of flash like Dolphin or Firefox.  Below is a link on how to do it.

I just hope they aren't using the same video program that Turn2Media and Racinboys used.  Even though I have the required speed, dual processors, etc., I'm told my computer was too slow to watch the video

so if you pay the 70 dollars for volusia, do you get the entire year, or just the two weeks?

wow i just read week one package 69.99 and week two package 69.99   wow hope this is accurate.... think ill just listen for free and wait till after volusia this year.... i could see 70 for the two weeks, but not 140...

Thinking the same thing. I can't justify spending $140 for the two weeks when I may only actually be able to enjoy about half the nights as other obligations would keep me away. I will be more than happy to listen for free. :-)

No subscription this year.  It must have been popular enough to take it away and make everyone pay for every day.  They told me they will make the achives free to watch one month after the race though.  We upgraded computer and internet just for Dirtvistion, but I guess we'll be happy we can listen now, cuz I sure as hell ain't spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars for it.

Try XSAN for All Stars at Ocala and 360's at East Bay, $35 for 3 nights each. Pretty good deal IMO.

They told me that they Season Pass was taken away and all shows were going to be PPV this year now so that if they are able to add extra shows to the lineup... If they charged a season pass and then added shows to the set PPV schedule, then all that does is cost them to put on the extra broadcasts... So now they can add shows when they are able to and put on a better show if possible now

I had my son come over and wire up the family room with ethernet and have a line on a laptop specifically for the purpose of getting the season pass.  We're already paying $100 per month for cable and internet.  I talked to the wife about it last fall (she handles the bills) and we agreed that $70 was doable but no way I'd convince her to be dropping that every month all summer.  It looks like we'll be needing to replace a vehicle so car payments are more important than watching races. 

I'm not really sure if I could watch them anyways and I won't spend the money unless I know for sure.  I woudln't be opposed to spending the money once a month or so on a Saturday night when we're rained out locally.  I switched to Linux on all my home computers because Microsoft is ending support for XP this April so XP will no longer be a secure system.  Whenever I pose the question to any of these PPV streaming racing services if Firefox or Chromium running on Linux will work I don't get an answer so I hesitate to spend the money.  I can watch YouTube and many other sources of video but there are a few every now and then that don't work so the possibility exists that I would be wasting my money with Dirtvision.  I know the guy who runs XSAN and I have tested that service and it works fine with Linux.

I'm not real hot to trot for televised racing anyways.  With me it started out around 1960 as something we'd do on Saturday night and that approach continues to this day.  I was mainly wanting to watch PPV to get a jump on what's happening with the WoO for the articles I write for a local racing paper.  I guess I'll be reading about it and watching the YouTube clips.  No biggie, we'll survive.

So they got rid of the season pass?

And their reason is so they can add shows on a whim and we're expected to believe it's gonna be a better show when they decide to add a new broadcast from some track that hasn't been tested? Where's the planning?

Many year supporter, will have to take a step back this year too. We attend most WoO show's in the midwest. Without the season pass we too will miss. With Xsan and the cushion we should get our dirt fix when not at the track. GooD Luck Dirtvision

I'll have to give up Dirtvision too without the season pass. Can't afford to attend 6-8 Woo races and do PPV on Dirtvision.

johnny gibson is the besst any way and he is free

Free for now.

Being able to watch live on season pass would have been cool, but there isn't much that we can watch live here.  Once they head west, it's after bedtime for me before they start racing.  Once they come back east, I'm usually racing myself.  So it honestly would have been watching the archive the next day most all the time.  I guess the good news about not being able to watch it for a month is that I will have forgotten about it and will be a surprise again.

 I thought something was a little fishy when current members had to re-register. My girlfriend and I have gotten Dirtvision the last 3 yrs and I think last year for the season pass we paid 69.99 and then I see this week #1 package for 69.99. I emailed Dirtvision and the reply was (with a significant number of new shows,the season pass is no longer a feasible option.) Thats comical. They may have added some new shows but its not like your getting a race or two every weekend. Very disappointed that they chose this route but if they think I'm going to throw 30.00-50.00 dollars for their significant number of new shows they added on pay per view and then attend the live shows at the 7-10 different tracks we usually go to every year well that may be a bit too spendy.Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Dirtvision owned by World Racing Group? If so that pretty much explains everything. Enjoy that audio boys because I got a bad feeling it won't be long before they decide that giving free audio just isn't feasible anymore also.
