Boiling it down to brass tacks, you basically get 10 yours of streaming Track Video on TVG every month.
That's the bottom line, however, it get's confusing on how they gauge these 10 hours. It's based on data flow, not simply watching. If you go with a large pop-out screen on a track and watch it for one hour, then that is one hour of video streaming.
If you keep the micro windows in place for video streaming, you are watching at a smaller data bit rate, so you would then get 2.5 hours per 1 hour of allotted time because you are streaming at a much smaller data stream bit rate. They explain this to you in their video streaming explanation of time allotment.
For every $25 of wagering, you get another hour of video streaming, up to an additional 10 hours. You may also buy 10 more hours of Video Streaming for $3.00.
This streaming gauge is done on a calendar month, so every month you are reset and get another 10 hours.
I don't see this as a big deal. I don't just put on a track and let it stream for hours on end. I've never run out of Streaming Video. I do get 20 hours a month because of my betting, and I've never busted through 20 hours. To me, that is a lot of streaming, especially when I have HRTV and two other ADW's to stream video with.
And if you do think you are going to bust 10 or 20 hours and don't want to pay an additional $3.00 for 10 more hours, simply open an XpressBet or TwinSpires account, put in 25 bucks, bet an occasional $2.00 once in a while to keep the account open, and stream as much as you want.
I do that anyway. I like the way TwinSpires presents the video, so I often stream video via TwinSpires but I bet the Lion's share via TVG.
