What the ****!?! No high-def Bristol race on Comcast!?!

[TripleDigitRide]

I hope I'm wrong, but based on the information I've been able to find, ABC is only airing the Bristol race on channel 245, which is not a high-def channel. It looks like the lousy Titans game is going to be on the high-def channels.

Sucks, but at least it's on TV this year. It's been 4-5 years since the August Bristol race has been on TV in Middle TN.

I can't even find the race on Uverse.

The poor audio quality makes channel 245 on Comcast unwatchable.

Got it on Direct TV, channel 6 WATE.

Amazing isn't it? 8 bazillion HD channels and the only place comcast can find for it is a lousy SD channel. Between ABC and the ESPN networks you would think that something like ESPN news could be re-tasked for a few hours...

Figured out Uverse is not showing the race tonight. It will be replayed tomorrow.

The audio on Comcast cleared up after a while. It's not HD, but it could have been worse.

I watched it in HD (I guess my eyesight is HD)  Just got back.  Great race!  :up: Even better when #18 wrecks. :pleased:

This is what happens when you get people fighting for all of these licensing deals.  What you see happen with professional sports is going to start happening everywhere for everything.  Especially if Comcast is allowed to merge with time warner, they'll jack up the price so high on content they own, the other companies won't be able to afford it

I've got charter and they haven't even shown it the last couple years. Finally able to relax and watch the Bristol night race in the comfort of my own home last night. Alternate channels were posted on jayski.com earlier this week. I'll try and post a reminder next year, but the best solution I believe is to just get tickets and go next year. The racing seems to be getting better there. Edited August 24, 2014 by hlb14

Racing is better on TV, you get the replays and zoom ins on all of the good stuff and you don't have to deal with 150,000+ people and the traffic.
