Yeah the broadcast sucks. We get robbed of 10 minutes in the middle, after a weekly robbing of first motos. Then on my recording, I get horse racing instead the 450s or was that because of the stupid Indy Cars before? Who knows. I just know that the nationals' coverage seems to get worse every year.

I didn't notice that but I would like to add. Why do we have to watch 3 different channels to get the entire race? At least I got to see it but dang...

Did anybody else also notice that some times it was less then three minutes between commercials and toward the end it was a minute and a half between commercials.

I agree that it's gotten much more difficult/ inconvenient to watch the moto's. I couldn't think less of the decision to join MavTv on the first year it's available. There's simply nowhere near the coverage that the other available networks have. And if you want proof, I guarantee the ratings are down significantly this year. I'd be very surprised if it is the same or higher as last year.

Once you get to watch the moto, I think the broadcast has improved.

The goPro footage this week was awesome. I'd like to see them bump the camera up by a few degrees so you can see more than the front fender but very cool to see a live feed.
