No Streaming Saratoga Track feed Today

[BombsAway Bob]

Due to a snafu, TVG & Twinspires do not have streaming track video from Saratoga today. This is a BIG disadvantage after using it on a regular basis, not being able to see how these horses are reacting to upwards of 50,000 people in the paddock & post parade!
I E-mailed TVG & BEGGED THEM:
"PLEASE SHOW LIVE VIDEO from Saratoga leading up to the races..."
They need to STOP LOOKING AHEAD to races HOURS AWAY, & concentrate on THE LIVE RACES GOING ON NOW!
There's ONLY 7 More Days of Saratoga Racing. Try and Show them!

What is the snafu?

What is the snafu?
Good Question.. TVG has live signal for on-air,
why wouldn't the company that distributes all the
track feeds be able to send it out? :confused:

I have never been able to get video for NYRA from twinspires.com. On the Twinspires.com TV I just get a slate saying live video for Saratoga is unavailable.

That would not set well with the 3 viewers that tune into Pick 6 Central six hours before the P6 starts to view Matty's ticket and that mind numbing analysis.

Bob, I thought you WERE one of those three viewers.

I spent some time on the phone recently with a Twinspires custm. Serv type who told me that IP addresses are being tracked and "certain services denied to certain areas of the country" whatever the hell that means?

Due to a snafu, TVG & Twinspires do not have streaming track video from Saratoga today. After I read this post, I checked my streamfeed on Youbet. The primary video feed wasn't available, but when I checked my secondary feed.... no problem.

Here's hoping you checked both sources.

Apparently, if you have a NY address, you cannot watch NY tracks live.

[BombsAway Bob]

wow...maybe I AM TVG's only Viewer that's Also a customer! I've got both Twinspires and TVG accounts, and NEVER had a problem getting the NYRA feed. When I called TVG "Customer Service", they said an E-Mail they got from technical support said Saratoga Video would NOT be available Sunday(no reason given). Twinspires "BETA" had audio of track feed, & by the 10th race, the video was back online.

Maybe they block overseas addresses as well.

would using a proxy server work in this case?
