The Martinsville Cup race will now be on FOX Sports 1 and the Richmond race on FOX. According to the press release, the swap was made because another live event conflicts with the Sprint Cup race at Richmond.

That's the beauty about the DVR..... It doesn't care what channel it's on it'll grab it every time. Besides, I'll be there anyhow. Leave in 27 days but who's counting?

Noting for those who don't have cable. I'm moving to North Carolina and going without since the cable provider there doesn't offer FOX Sports or NBC Sports.

Cut the damn cord Andy. Go with the satellite provider of choice and put that issue to rest. We tote ours all over the place. Have Dish will travel. Whether I'm home in western PA or tucked somewhere in the mountains of WV, I've got every channel that I could want at my disposal.

I'm going to see if I can't get DIRECTV up here and then transfer it with hopes of keeping all the channels here. Don't get MASN in NC, get the Carolina Panthers television network instead.

That's your DVR, my crappy U-Verse DVR wouldn't dream of switching channels automatically. Or (like the Sky Satellite system in Europe does, a fabulous feature) automatically recording until the event is finished, no matter how long it takes.

I agree, wife won't let me switch to the (supposedly) far superior picture quality of satellite (because cable companies compress their signals unmercifully) because she is afraid of the picture going out 0.000074% of the time, when it rains really hard. If I ever get a projection system (where picture quality over four times the area of my plasma TV really matters) I'll have to "go Direct".

From my past experience, I think if you want to keep your channels your satellite provider needs to "think" you are still at your present location - maybe continue to have your bill sent up there (and put it on auto-pay to prevent accidents)?

I simply tell mine to search for all NASCAR related broadcast on all channels. It records everything. I have it set to run over by two hours just in case of rain delays. Storage is no concern. I have two DVR's networked together, each with a 2tb HD.
 
I never have to worry about not getting anything with DirecTV. And now, DirecTV customers can watch content online with both the Fox Sports Go app and WatchESPN app.

Can't you watch your home DVR system already with the DirecTV app?
 
With satellite TV, you should be able to get the sports package and get MASN.

Given its proximity to DC and Baltimore, makes no sense that North Carolina doesn't get MASN.
 
I have all Fox channels so no concern for me.

I find sports network lines to be completely arbitrary sometimes. For example, for some reason, western Connecticut doesn't get NESN because of its proximity to NYC. People in Raleigh/Durham are closer to DC than they are Atlanta and should at least get MASN for baseball.

Mine have no lines as I subscribe to a sports package that gives me all regional sports networks.
