Just tuned in to Speedvision to watch the 2nd 250 moto as is posted on RacerX tv schedule and my cable guide also as 10pm eastern. Guess what? They changed it to 9pm eastern. Guess having to follow 3 networks to watch isn't enough, they have to switch the times also. Yea, I'm pissed.

Motherf*cker! So I am not crazy! I swore it was on at 10pm. I just happened to put Speed on at 945 though and caught the end. WTF!!!!

I have had to reset my DVR 3 times because they keep changing the title on their listing, and guess what not everyone has Tivo or DVR , it's not to much to ask for the race to come on as listed, nobody is saying it isn't better then ever but lets not be so happy that we don't ask them to fix obvious flaws.

Same day moto coverage seems a fuck of a lot better than the package we had a couple years ago to me.

Jay I realize it is aggravating that they make those changes but that is the network doing that and they do it all the time with many other sports and programs.

I just think we are so much better off already between the live motos and some great coverage on Fuel and Speed.
This seems like a minor issue to me compared to the significantly better amount of coverage we get.

But that is just me, I am a glass half full kind of guy I guess.

No, I WANTED to watch it the same day, at the time it was listed. Unfortunately I missed it because they decided that Gearz was more important than showing the MX at the time it was originally listed.

My DVR picked up everything, NBC, Speed, Fuel TV.. I think they go by title or series number so even if the time changes, it records it. Dish network and Direct TV both will give you a free dvr (5 buck a month more paid to Tivo). That is $60 a year, the price of an SX ticket. And get to see every mx and sx. Seems like a good idea to me. I don't see why anyone would not have a dvr.

3 networks to watch 4 motos is pretty lame, hopefully they get a better tv deal next year. Fuel rocks!

I do like the Fuel coverage as well.

I think the reason it is on 3 networks is so that they can try to grow the market for MX racing.
ABC is a major network and will bring in more mainstream money and sponsors.
They probably want or need to keep Speed in the picture due to the SX contracts and Fuel is a natural fit for the live stuff.

More places to see moto means maybe moto will stay around for us to enjoy for a long, long time.

Just my thoughts anyway.....in between staring at your avatar pic......lol.

If memory serves me right I remember Speed not being able to show first motos last year because of NBC portion of the contract. Fuel makes sense because of that.
