The Houston coverage was excellent! Because of all the issues last year, I was very close to not renewing. I am so glad I did. If you're relying on just the network coverage, you're missing a ton of racing. This is one of the few television service add ons that truly gives you your money's worth.
My only issues are, fast forwarding when you first turn it on. If you come in after the program has started, you have to fast forward to where it's live. Several hours in on Sunday, my power flickered off and then right back on. Of course everything had to reset. When I went back to NHRA.TV, I had to fast forward all the way back to where it was live. Yes, it is a minor annoyance and I can live with it.
My only other issue is the mic volume on a couple of screamers that work for NHRA.TV. I have a good surround sound system and when a certain couple of individuals get on a microphone, my windows about get blown out. At one point on Sunday my Son even came out of his room to see what the heck was going on because all of the sudden there was all this hollering blasting through the house. I'm not complaining about the individuals themselves, just the mic volume. That one dude is hilarious, but if I don't have my finger on the volume button when he comes on, look out! Now if the sound of the engines were the same volume, I wouldn't complain at all!
I realize this is the first year with this new format and things are being tweaked on the go. This is a great service and I can't believe all Drag Racing fans aren't subscribed. Thanks to all that are working on and for this service.
