Anybody besides me having trouble with NBC HD coverage? I have tried using the dish and air both audio and video break up and go black.

 

Can't help ya there ivtech. Most of the races I watch at Henry's on his Comcast cable & 32" Phillips regular tv. When I'm home, I watch them on my 32" regular Magnavox tv on Dish Network. Sorry I can't be of any help. Haven't had any issues with NBC except their coverage sucks. And people thought Fox had too many commercials?

 

I was having trouble with HD (on antenna) at the beginning of last weeks race, but no problems after about the first thirty mins.

 

Anybody catch this one.

Fan takes race car for a spin.

Deb,

I like your new avatar, it appears that tony is behind dale. I like it...

 

Thanks TX-HHR...that doesn't happen much any more...it's usually the other way around.

Thanks for the video jshandra...that was funny...and I promise, it wasn't me.

 

When it works it's great but 2 weekends in a row our HD NBC has gone out. The first weekend it stopped working Friday afternoon and came back on Monday morning, last Sunday it stopped working with 20 laps to go. I was on the phone to Charter cable raising hell as you might imagine. The dip there said lets try a reset (I had switched to plain old NBC) and I told her with 17 laps left that wasn't happening...lol... I haven't tried anything but cable HD.

 

Yea right...I'm going to reset my cable with 17 laps to go. I think not.

 

Well it seems to me it is NBC HD.

 

Here's some info from Jayski.com to go along with the video.

A man jumped into a NASCAR race car and tried to drive away before he was stopped by track officials, who didn't know he was an actor and the apparent heist was a prank for a commercial. Justin Philpott, a 16-year-old NASCAR competitor, was taking part in an awards ceremony at the Altamont Motorsports Park on Sunday when the actor jumped a fence and hopped into his Chevrolet, the Tracy Press reported Thursday. "I heard my race car start up and slide away, so I turned around and started yelling and running after it," said Philpott, a third-generation racer. "No one knew what was going on." The stunt was cut short when track officials blocked the car's path with tow trucks, the newspaper reported. Philpott's older brother, also a racer, chased down the car, pulled out the unidentified man and tackled him to the ground. The incident was caught on tape and widely circulated on the Internet. The "thief" turned out to be an actor filming a scene for a commercial for one of Philpott's sponsors, TaxBrain.com. The Philpotts had not been told about the commercial beforehand, Justin Philpott said. A spokeswoman for Altamont's parent company, Riverside Motorsports Park, said only a few track officials knew the prank would take place. A spokesman for TaxBrain.com did not return calls for comment.
