Don't rely on it 100%. It's still in beta and is buggy. I noticed more dropouts Saturday than during the week. Nice HD picture, but you have to have something ready be it the NYRA cable tv or online. The worst is a drop during a race.
Make sure your unit is hard wired when watching NYRA. Video takes up a lot of bandwidth on home networks. It's one thing to have a Netflix movie drop & buffer while watching but a live race
Why they chose the Roku platform is very puzzling. WDTV Live is much better product.
Saturday was especially brutal as far as drops. I was never "out" though. The card sucked too lol.
Call NYRA support and ask for Carmine, (if he's in) he's well versed since day 1. A friend of mine worked with him over an hour on the phone one day about 6 weeks ago only to find his Roku is too old. He has multiple ways to watch races so he wont buy a new one for one channel.
I just hope the developer of the app didn't give up on the product and makes it so it is more stable.
Growing with technology sux sometimes.
