How To Watch A Race Live On Your Computer

Have you ever missed a race because you couldn’t be at home to watch it on TV? What about those racing news shows that you want to watch but you’re never home?

Well you don’t have to set your DVR any more. I’ve found a way to get live television broadcasts right on your computer.

The only catch is you have to have internet access – but if you do you can pick up the live satellite feed of the race right off the internet.

Satellite Direct is a service that pulls over 700 television satellite feeds from across the United States and pushes them live to your computer. And it’s not just racing. You can watch any TV show right from your computer – from the latest network shows, to breaking news. Sporting events to local broadcasting. Satellite Direct is a sponsor of RacingWin.

The Race is Monday at Noon. Watch on your PC!

Don’t miss the race because you have to work.

This is the first ever rain delay — don’t miss this one!

Have you ever missed a race or one of your favorite racing shows because you couldn’t be at home in front of the TV?

Maybe it was a rain delay or you were scheduled to work when the race was on.

Well now you can watch the race or any TV show anywhere you’ve got internet access.

Satellite Direct, a RacingWin sponsor, connects you with 702 United States TV channels right over the Internet.

I was a little skeptical at first because I thought I would need a satellite dish or converter box. It turns out you don’t need a dish, receiver or any other equipment. It works right over the Internet using your PC or Mac.

I thought the pricing was a touch high at $49.95 until I found out that was a one-time fee with no monthly charges.

ABC NASCAR Coverage Complaints

Complaints About NASCAR Coverage on ABC

I’ve been getting a ton of comments about ABC cutting away from the race with just over 30 laps to go. Looks like a lot of you missed the end of the race thanks to this stupid decision at ABC. I think that must stand for Anything But Competent.

Both ABC and ESPN are owned by The Walt Disney Company — but even Mickey Mouse could have handled this better. I decided to head over to ABC and launch a formal complaint. Then I thought you might want to do the same.

Here’s where to go if you want to complain directly to ABC: http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html

This page also has a link to send Sports Feedback to ESPN, but I suggest sending your comments directly to ABC as this was an executive decision by ABC.

Here are some of the comments I have received so far:

Cutting the second last race of the season off to put on Funny Video’s is just plain stupid. If NASCAR doesn’t step up and do something to ABC for this. Then I have just one more comment for NASCAR. “LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO “CART” – Gordo3 16

I like Fox. I wish that they would broadcast the whole season. — Linda

ABC leaving the race high and dry with so little laps to go was just unbelievable, especially for the people who don’t have cable. They are very disrespectful to the fans that pay their salary. – Motorsports Photography

I think it was extremely stupid of ABC to switch with just a few laps left. I don’t have ESPN, and I missed the end. — Aubrey

I think ABC did us wrong by not finishing the race on that channel. If it was a football, baseball, golf, hockey they would have finished. We need to get rid of ABC for televising races unless they play the whole race. I really wanted to see the ending of the race. – Claudia

So what does all this say for NASCAR? “It doesn’t say very much,” according to Rick Hendrick.

You can read all the comments on the Phoenix Post Race Thread. I hope ABC gets their act together – or gets out of the business of NASCAR altogether.
