Fox Drives Me Crazy (4 Viewers)

[GumbyWVU]

well, start guessing. if it comes to pay to view, count me out. i pay $170 per month for my fiber optic internet connection,
hulu live, and netflix. no more.

I agree with you, no way I'm doing PPV for any race either....PPV will likely result in lower viewership and by extension lose potential new fans. I sure hope it doesn't come that.

Subscribing to NHRA.TV is a pay per view. I’ll still be watching the races no matter where they are located. Sponsors would not be happy if the whole series is behind a paywall. Being on free TV or cable is necessary to attract new fans. Now it’s possible that Amazon or Netflix could provide enough eyeballs to please the sponsors. Flo Racing, Peacock or any other for pay service will only hurt NHRA and the sport.

Perhaps I misunderstood the original comment I replied to - I thought he meant PPV for each race only. Doesn't nhra.tv offer other content and such? I'd rather pay for a service with content than just a PPV only for each event. I think we're on the same page though, maybe a different paragraph so to speak.

NHRA.tv is roughly $150-170/yr, I can't remember, but I renew it every year. But that gets you total event coverage of all 20 events, from start to finish. There's a lot of content you won't see on the Fox coverage, and it shows every round of every class. Plus, there is a lot of divisional event coverage as well. There's room for improvement, as many have discussed here, but when you break it down, it's stupid cheap for a race junkie.

which is more horrible, fox or nhra.tv?

Neither, I think they're both great. I tune in to the .TV to catch everything with the Pro Classes, special guests in the booth, etc... I also watch the FOX broadcasts to hear their commentaries.

 

[Rajunz]

I’m going to predict that they have a deal with Fox/CW for the 20 race schedule and their NHRA.TV gets incorporated with Flo Racing. I heard that the NHRA.tv subscription is much lower than you would think. The video says they make a profit from it but I’m not so sure. Just my .02 cents.

These are my thoughts too. On another note, I read this earlier today, and thought that maybe they would look at NHRA?

I think Nascar did 6 races this year on Prime, it was a big success. I bet most of you have a Amazon Prime subscription for free shipping and then most but not all video is free. Nascar was free, the only Nascar race I'll see this year! Come on Nhra.

F1 is available only on Apple TV this year. I used to watch every F1 race and followed the series closely through last season. This season, I have not watched a race, nor have I followed anything going on in F1. It no longer exists for me.

Streaming may be a short-term success, but how is that success measured, and what does it mean long-term?

hypertv is not free. I do not want to pay for another streaming service just to watch F1.

Jim, neither is cable tv, apple tv, or any of the other services however hypertv is priced a whole lot better and a huge selection of broadcasting world wide.

Mike, how is the video quality? Fox NHRA looks like 4K on Direct TV stream, would never give that up, especially since NHRA will not provide quality audio. The video quality is all we have

 

[Mike]

Harve, I have no complaints with the video but maybe some might. When I got the service 2 years ago I bought it for 30 days so I could try a bunch of different stuff. I now subscribe by the year and have been very happy and I'm always finding new stuff to watch

FWIW, it’s basically an illegal streaming platform. Just like Superbox.

 

[Mike]

Chris, never heard of superbox myself but this service has been great,

Superbox can be bought at Walmart and through Amazon. Pay around $300 for the box, follow the instructions that are included and you get every local channel in the US, all the cable channels plus all pro and college sports streaming. Plus they have an extensive movie library. It takes about 6-8 weeks from current movie theatre to the Superbox. It’s not illegal to own but you’re watching copyrighted material so how you use it is technically illegal. After you buy the box, there is no monthly cost.

I don't subscibe but there are ways to get everything. Even get FLO.

I was flipping through the TV channels yesterday morning and saw that FS1 was covering the NHRA event at Norwalk. I turned it on, and the graphic in the upper-left corner read "Semifinals."

"Wait a minute," I thought to myself, "The listing said this was coverage of yesterday's actions. How are they already in the semifinal rounds of eliminations this early on Sunday morning?"

At first, I thought the threat of rain might have forced NHRA to start early. Then I realized the joke was on me. Fox calls the second day of qualifying "Semifinals."

On Sunday, they call all the elimination rounds "Finals."

That is just wrong.

The finals are the last rounds of elimination that determine the winners.

The semifinals are the next-to-last round of eliminations that determine who advances to the finals.

Who at Fox came up with this naming scheme?

I would guess the same brain fart that made the call to call Indy racing the worlds fastest racing cars, don’t get me wrong I like Indy racing, just give them the facts ma’am, please
