Currently pouring at the track

[Charlie Spencer]

I set my DVR to stop at 6:00 pm. I hope that's enough of a window!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Really perplexed as to why they chose 1pm vs noon or 11am as usual on a postponment

I watched em dry the track in a pouring rain for 16 hours at PIR

Removing car covers, drivers to cars and load up.

[Johali]

Covering the cars back up. Damn.

It wouldn't be the first time...

I'm perplexed why they don't just do this in primetime.

Direct-TV decided to change the listing about an hour ago and cancelled all the stuff I had recording. If I hadn't been home the race would not have recorded

You can set it to record from your phone.

DIrecTv , not happy with the new update to the receiver, not only is guide ugly , they seem to have removed the manual record option

I hate the update. It's slow as hell. I frequently end up tuning to the wrong channel on accident because it's slow and can't keep up with the number input.

 

[Flyer22]

Terrible weather this spring all over the place. I'm a Cubs fan too and numerous games have been cancelled this year or played with snow suits on.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Bubba Wallace is the best thing to happen to this sport in a long time. I really hope RPM becomes a good team so he can compete for wins.

So its slow for you too, , its horrible .

I have a flip phone that is older and dumber than you

They haven't removed my unbelievably high bill

 

[HoneyBadger]

At least I'm smart enough to know how to use a Samsung Galaxy

They haven't removed my unbelievably high bill

When my contract is up, I think I'm going back to Playstation Vue. I got DIRECTV because I didn't have internet.

I think he’ll find his way on talent and personality.

I still have the same guide. Maybe it's because I refuse to connect the receiver to the internet.

Always bypass the listings and set a manual recording - channel, date, time start, time stop.

I did that but the race wasn't showing up

They removed that option it the last update, or they did a very job of hiding it, I spent 20 minutes last night looking for it.

You must be defecating me. Or they must be defecating you.

Good with the bad, to get full use of all the options you gotta connect, so its a trade off.

WHat?,

The guide was still showing normal programing at 1am

 

[fordfan]

Idk. Im starting to see right through Bubba and his "strange things seem to always happen to me" schtick.
Reminds me of my little sister.. anything to get a couple likes on the internet.

It was still showing on mine about an hour ago

 

[DSquad48]

Oooof, this weather is brutal. Only positive is the possibility of racing under the lights.
