Since the outdoor series started and DISH still hasn't put MavTV back on (for 1st moto coverage), I decided to give them some crap via Twitter:

https://twitter.com/MattE303/status/734898687587950593

It's been about a year and a half now that DISH claims to be "in negotiations" with MAV, so if you're a customer of theirs, and tired of it, feel free to jump in and let 'em know it!

Big companies seem to really hate being called out on Twitter (because it's so publicly visible I guess), so they responded pretty quick, but with the usual cut 'n paste generic garbage, so I kept pressing until they ran out of pre-scripted dodges/excuses.

I have a hacked firestick but not sure how to watch Mav on it? Any tips on that?

Why not just watch it for free on promotocross.com in better quality than what dish offers?

I watched the first Motos on firestick on the NBC Sports live extra video add on. Also I think it was on the AMA pro racing add on. You may have to ad those to your video add ons if you don't have them.

Almost as bad as paying over $100 month for directtv and not being able to watch in HD

I gave up on getting MavTv back a long time ago. But, I've switched back and forth 2 or three times already chasing channels that I decided if I went back to Directv I'd just lose something else.

Is the Matt Jr. or Sr?

our internet service isn't the best due to where we live, I watch online when I can, but it won't always stream reliably. that's also why we're limited to satellite tv, no cable available here.

Hey Randy, it's me! long time, how 'ya been?

I agree on it not being worth switching, especially since Mav is only SD on Direct, that shit is unwatchable.

I agree, DISH's SD channels are so bad I can't watch them, especially for anything high motion like moto. If Direct's SD channels are that bad, it wouldn't be worth it.

glad I'm not the only one. and it's not like they were giving us the channel free (as part of a basic tier), we were paying an extra $4/month for their "outdoor" package to get it, all of it was crap except for Mav. When they dropped Mav, we cancelled the package, and they called and offered it to us for $2/mo instead of 4. I told 'em keep it, I wouldn't pay 2 cents a month for it without Mav.

Good, haven't ridden that much the last 6 years. But I have an almost 6 year old that's about to start riding so the break is over. Congratulations on making it through your first 5 posts without being hazed, it's rare. Smile

LOL, guess I got lucky, so far anyway!

Hard for a TV company to stay competitive with customer pricing, one solution is to cut networks that have low viewer count in order to save money for the majority. Really does suck to not have it though I'll have to say their new Hopper 3 system is hard to beat. Also the HD stream with no commercials on Promotocross.com is awesome, I use my PS4 internet browser. Works like a charm.

I had DirecTV and was happy with the service and programming. Could watch most any race aired. Then I had error messages that kept popping up and going to screen saver after 5 mins. So after 3 months with no solution in site I switched to Dish. Asked if they had MAV tv and was told yes. Even see it on their website but no channel.

I am thankful to get to see the 2nd motos. But most of us on satellite have limited data for internet so watching it online is out. ugghhhh!!

I'm really tired of complaining about the TV schedule for the Nationals...but I feel obligated to add my voice to these types of threads. MAVTV has great programming and I would enjoy it if it were in HD on directTV. But it's not. Also not on Comcast or Dish. That's a pretty big portion of the market they are missing.

I don't feel thankful that I can watch a for profit racing series as some on here are. I am irritated that it is so complicated. Even those that are willing to pay have limited options. Rant over.

If you look at Mav's website, they encourage you to switch from Dish to another provider that they work with! I'm guessing the "negotiations" aren't going very well!! I've been with Dish for awhile too. Frustrating.

I don't get Mav TV this year, but anyone with a Roku, Amazon Fire stick, Apple TV, laptop with an hdmi cable, can watch the first motos plus the pre show completely free in perfect HD. Who needs Mav tv?

I've been happy with it. I've had it for about 2 months and I'm thinking on signing up for the yearly subscription (which would be $4.99/mo.) A lot of content, but not seeing Pro Motocross Live for this year. Maybe they'll add it to their On-Demand later, but haven't seen it yet this week.

My favorites so far have been: drag boat racing, truck racing (McGrath and company), Dave Despain interviews, the recent Junior MotoX in Oklahoma...and so much more. If you like variety, it's got it. Mostly On-Demand content with some live programming that later gets added to their On-Demand library.

What app? NBC Sports Live Extra? If so, I still need a cable/satellite subscription. But, you're right, with that setup who needs MavTV.

You don't need the cable subscription unless you're trying to watch the 2nd motos
