RTN
 
Can people give me a review of RTN-thinking of dumping TVG-when I do watch it I mute it

Dave Schwartz 07-25-2022 08:59 PM

I love it.

Gave up my DishNet subscription with 5 TVs (at $135 per month) for 3 tracks with great resolution for like $15 per month.

Support is superb.

What is the set-up? Do you still need a dish and who owns said dish?

great product. all of the live track feeds in hd ( if available) and access to the full replay library. A steal for the price.

RTN is no contest the absolute best money I have spent over the course of my lifetime on horse racing. In addition to all the replay availability, the ability to switch to whatever track you want with a couple of clicks, and to be able to watch that track's races in (almost) real time with no tape delay and no commercials (except a track's in house commercials, which won't come during a post parade or a race) is true horseplayer heaven!

No.

It's just your browser.
So, I let go of Dish.
(We used it only for racing.)

Nice. Thanks for the info. Already have the Roku stick so it sounds easy peasy.

For any of you guys that have RTN and Twinspires is the video quality better on RTN? Is there less delay on RTN?

Is it easy to cast RTN you your TV?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but RTN is the main disseminator for most if not all track feeds. Except for places like NYRA that may use their own feeds, all the ADWs get their track feeds from RTN.

The feed is the same but the actual delays you will see from the ADW is their delay and not RTNs. As always, YMMV.

Very easy, although it might depend on which browser you're using. I use Chrome on Android tablets/phones and Vivaldi on my PC, and both are easy and work well.

The only annoyance is that RTN times out the video after two hours due to "inactivity". If you're viewing full-screen, there's no warning and no way to avoid it. So you have to un-cast, un-fullscreen, refresh, re-fullscreen and re-cast. That's very annoying, especially on a tablet or phone, since the full-screen and cast buttons are small.

RTN is a great product and well worth the cost, but it can be a pain to use.

RTN is great, you can watch it on you mobile device or computer/tablet, and I also watch it via their Roku app which allows you to watch it on your TV. The quality is great, most tracks are in full HD. I definitely recommend it.
