Hey at first I though you "tending a couple of plump hens" meant you had some corn fed gals in the pool with ya. That would be awesome too.

I'm still on the fence, I honestly don't want to buy it just for the premise of what they're trying to do, it's shady and lame to make people pay extra for content they already got.
At the end of the day, all the back and forth on here is not going to make a difference. You have a choice now - you can pay and get premium content, or not pay and watch it on the TV provided by your cable/satellite provider.
Plus, you know, I'm saving up for a factory ECU so I can be competitive at the races again. You should have seen me trying to ride with a stocker, might as well have had a banana in the tail pipe bro!
Hopefully, one day, these "smart" TVs, will come with the ability to get any app you want, then you won't even need a Chromecast. My "smart" TV came loaded with about 100 apps, but without the ability to get more apps. There's probably 3 of the preloaded ones I use. The rest I have to get through my phone and cast them to the TV.
Seriously, I do get where you're coming from. They should at least let folks see the archive - if nothing else a day later.
Also, I did notice Saturday's gig at Hangtown ended up on YouTube pretty quick. If memory serves, by Saturday evening.
Other than that, I thought it beat the heck out of watching commercials. I especially liked getting the first moto in HD. I couldn't even read the freaking rider numbers on MAVTV in past years. I was especially happy to not have to wait until 9:00 pm (or whatever) to watch the second moto - providing the dog show didn't move it back later.
Pit Row
I watched the latest race yesterday. I don't know if it was something on my end, if they completely screwed up the audio, but just about 80% of all 4 motos, the audio kept cutting out badly. For one moto it went out completely for most of the moto.
Other that that, it is usually pretty good. Better? Overall, maybe a little.
You think we're lame, while us cable cutter know who the lame people are. The people that keep shelling out $1500+ a year to get a million channels you'll never watch. " If everybody pays, we will never get first motor on tv." You have that ass backwards.
1. No timeline, only a live feed. If I pause the stream and my phone goes to sleep I lose the stream and have to refresh the page, missing out on whatever happened between pausing and refreshing and no ability to rewind.
2. No streaming quality options. My phone stutters juuust a little bit streaming/sharing at 1080 to my TV. Being able to choose 720 would be perfect and would mean I don't have to leave my phone on top of the screen sharing device.
3. Why a new feed for EVERY moto? It's a pain in the ass to switch the stream 4 times to watch all 4 motos when it's the same friggin stream! One 4 hour stream. That's all I ask. Wouldn't be as much of an issue if I could rewind.
4. No fullscreen option. Sure, it goes fullscreen if I turn my phone sideways but it's not a forced fullscreen. I got a notification and couldn't get the notification drop down bar to go away after it happened because it's not a forced fullscreen. It covered up the running order and clock for the entire 450 first moto. The only way to fix it was close the browser and load everything up again. Why should I have to do that when your old player had a fullscreen option?!
Anybody else run in to these issues?
Well, there have been some bugs, apparently. Hopefully NBC will get them worked out. People with problems need to let NBC know what's going on.
I watched second moto's on cable. No fps lag, better quality, no notifications, blah blah blah.
