With the demise of TRN, I thought this would be a good time to list all of the live Audio-Video feeds that I am aware of. BTW, I signed up for YouBet this week, and, at $5.95/month, it's a bargain. It would behoove all of us that play from home to support YouBet; without it, the number of tracks that are available to the play-at-home player is limited.
One major advantage that YouBet has over TRN is the lack of idle banter coming from the on-the air announcers. I can work from home, with the YouBet A/V running on the background, and hear late scratches, etc. live from the tracks that I am playing, without having to listen to Barbara Foster talk about who the favorite is, or some other useless piece of information. Although I respect some of TRN's announcers, they were, in my opinion, useless overhead, and I wonder how many customers it cost TRN. I was very close to switching to YouBet when TRN folded.
Here are the links that I have. Some are old: no guarantees. Those of you that have better information and/or additional sites, please add.

I refuse to list Penn National until they can figure out how to run honest races!
