I’d pay $250-300 to be able to watch every race commercial free, every lap.

DirectTV and HotPass is as close as you are going to get.

Cheap sign up price for new subscribers this year - $40 for the Nascar package.

When 'on' a driver channel, you have the choice of what audio to listen to: 1) Network, 2) The broadcast for that driver, or 3) The Team radio.

I was usually parked on Jr's channel, with his Team audio on. Split screens, you saw the Network broadcast on one, the other had the camera focused on where Jr was.

So when the network went to a commercial, no big deal....I was still watching Jr and listening to his team radio.

You may have seen the post's between me and the Budman about Jr having an issue, in and out of the gas......the team radio.

I know what you are saying about too many friggin' commercials - my way to get around that, at least minimize the crap.

GRRRR, same thoughts echo'd from me. The DTV thing is about as close as you can to what I'd say is the TV broadcast nirvana right now.

If you aren't a DTV subscriber, this year you can get it for just $40. I already subscribe (not to HP though) and its $80 for me.

Thinking about the package though seriously, as the improvements from last year to this year are convincing.

There's nothing more fun to my ears than listening to 8500RPMs of a screaming HMS Chevy or a JGR Toyota, the banter back and forth to the pits, the onboard cameras and lack of commercials and adnausem sometimes self-serving commentary. (You have to watch it though, as the wifey was in the other room, and missed the booth commentary for keeping up while not watching.)
