Please go and film the Nationals and offer it on ppv if you have to so it can be broadcast without any problems,if you could do it then im sure there would be some happy folks, Dave Despain being there doing interviews like he does at the Chillibowl would be fantastic and so on .

Your all right , we need more racing coverage in general besides ASCS , Late model , Super modifieds from Oswego , and a few other they offer . When they do cover racing like the Chili Bowl , they do a good job , even expanding Winged Nation longer , less non- racing shows , I believe it would be a home run for MAVTV ,but its a common thing they don't listen enough to fans like you or me .

I agree the cushion sucked, never had issues till the last 20 laps but the audio sucked, you can only hear the announcer, no engines or even the crowd. Can't read lips on a 410 sprint!

Several things:
I have DirecTV and my package includes MavTV.
If the race is not live, it is hard for me to watch in on TV. TV does not capture all of the excitment of a live event. I espically dislike events several months old.
Television/streaming for the Nationals is all about Supply and Demand. If there was a higher demand and someone could make money broadcasting it live, it would be done. If there was a higher demand and someone could make money on a pay per view, it would be done. The reason that it is not on live television is because there is no money to be made from it.
Television producers/executives are not an overly proud group. If it will make money, it will be put on the air. The content is almost secondary to the revenue stream versus the expense stream. Some of the reality/staged shows are just insulting to your intelligence. However, they have viewers and they make money.
The same can be said for The Cushion. They are doing as much as they can with the revenue stream that they have. Would they like to increase bandwidth and computing capability? Yes, but only as much as the revenue will allow them. They have a very difficult business model, and would not want to be in their shoes.

Im not asking for it to be exciting and dont know where that matters at all if its exciting, if mavtv can film yuma arizona 360 cars and show it 40 times a year then why keep the super bowl of sprint car racing a dud and not available to see on a reliable broadcast?????????????????????? Why does the nationals need to be a big secret in Iowa and not shown to people across the map? Cause its not exciting you say???? Dang man they being mavtv show swamp buggies in naples florida then why not the nationals? I guess mavtv figured there is more of a fan following for the 360 class of sprint cars then the sprint car super bowl... It doesnt matter i guess and thats there perogative to show 360 sprints and its worth the money to them to show that and boat racing but not the nationals cause people are not interested in it they figure, they can do pov if they want to make it worth their while i guess bug they wont and we will be forced to go to thr nationals or listen to it on a radio station cause the cushion cant provide service long enough to finish a program and rape people for $48.00 to not see what they paid for. I guess knoxville isnt as big as people pump it up to be I guess cause if it was then Lucas or mavtv would have their hand on making money from it and not figuring they can clean house on a 360 sprint show somewhere out west and keeping viewers, all this is a shame and you got to wonder why the super bowl of sprint racing is suggested to such second and third rate coverage that it gets, looks like they cant sell it out anyway so people must be more focused on 360 sprints

I also had problems with The Cushion on Wed Night and was in contact with Customer Service. After fighting it all night they said the problem was on my end which I still do not believe but they went ahead and gave me Thurs night for free and it ran fine without any issues. I then purchased Sat night show and it work about 90%. C Main was missed but that was about it and it hiccuped right before the A. I was still happy that they took care of me and I felt like I got my money worth. We had 7 people watching last night, great times.

MAV TV please either step up all the way and play with the big boys or step down and go away so we dont get frustrated with mediocre coverage. There are times when "nothing" is better than down right hard to watch coverage. We appreciate your coverage and efforts but its tough trying get excited when you know the coverage is crappy. I myself wouldnt mind a PPV deal if it is quality and top notch. Thanks for listening if your out there listening.

I have Directv. They carry MavTV but it is in standard def right now. It is better than not having it at all, and it can only get better. I have been with Directv for many years and they do not raise prices any more than anyone. There are FCC regulations to follow. Many complaints about this come from people that do not fully understand the billing process. They sign you up cheap, and after a year, the costs go to where they will be normally. I haven't had an issue, just pay attention. I hope this helps....
