I honestly don't know why they had to ruin the good thing they had going with the lucas tv app. It would be been simple to just change the name and logo, and be done with it. I've yet to try and log in on it, but I have a feeling it's probably going to put more grey hair on my head. I've seen people complaining all over social media about it. Everybody saying they're having the same issues you guys gave had.

“Everyone on here”? I disagreed with one poster. When I was on Facebook hours ago, I saw what I saw — maybe a dozen people having issues. Most of those issues could be easily taken care of — ask a question, send an email, etc. Act like an adult in 2021. Or keep pretending it’s 1975. Too many people these days would rather just complain.

Never have had a problem with the new Mavtv app or the old Lucas Oil one and never had a problem with switching over. Now if you want one that is a PITA to me is DirtVision, when watching a live race it wants to pause and rebuffer but when you go the the Vault or Exclusive there is none of that, on top of the annoying announcing of Eshlman and Ruben.

Thedoctor
07-11-2021, 03:55 AM
No problems here. Transition went smooth, retyped information in once and now I stay logged in on my tv all summer, I just turn the app on, go to live, hit play on the event , no issues yet.

bleedblue55
07-11-2021, 06:20 AM
I get Flo, Dirtvision and Mav and the main problem is that Mav makes you log in every time whereas the others keep you logged in. There is nothing convenient about watching a Lucas race. I've never got the DV app to work correctly on my phone and access it thru the website link and it always keeps me logged in. I've accessed my Mav account a little early so I should only have to hit the Airs Live button when broadcast begins but have to relog in for access. Mav is a PITA.

I have to agree with the overarching sentiments here - its a POS app. Every race I want to watch I login in successfully and when I select the race to view it tells "denied - subscription required". Their CS is equally garbage with zero support. After about 3/4 logins it will finally recognize that I am a valid subscriber and let me watch the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) race I paid to watch.

For an organization that gets a lot right, Lucas and MAV have screwed the pooch on this one - it sucks.

Thinking about letting my subscription expire....

I did have the same problems at first as well. They did respond very promptly through emails. The app wouldnt take my credit card and the person on the email blamed it on my bank, go figure! So, i tried again last week and everything has worked great so far!

Also, because of the earlier problems, they sent me a $40 discount code to keep the original price at $59.99! So far, so good! The app works far superior to the LORTV app!

I log in through Roku and I have problems with error messages too. Customer service takes days to answer questions. I agree, it is a POS!

TerryM
07-11-2021, 02:42 PM
When it first switched over, we had an issue too. We sent an email, they replied within a couple hours, with instructions. The whole thing took maybe two hours. Now we just click on our MAVTV+ app on Roku, pick a race, and it starts. We’ve never had an issue with LORTV or Mav. Or Flo, DV or any other streaming app. I’m not sure why some are just now switching over, but we never had the issues some are having now. Maybe it’s a mobile thing. I have never used my iPhone or iPad to watch a race. I’d rather watch on a 70” screen. Or maybe it’s your choice of streaming, WiFi, etc. It just seems like the issue is always on the consumer’s end, other than the switchover that happened weeks ago. Not sure why anyone would just now be making that switch.

My account says i am sign in then when i click to watch the race it says i need a subscription.

Same here on a laptop. There is a work around, for their crappy website. Click on shows or live events before logging in. Copy the link of the race you want to watch. for example the next Lucas race is:
https://mavtvplus.com/schedule/2021/transportation-solution-50/
Then login to your account, it may take 1-3 tries. Then paste the address to the race you want to watch into the address bar and it should work.

#1 Be smarter than them. pay with a credit card
#2 if you have issues and can't get anywhere with the tech people. Call your credit card company, file a complaint, and the credit card company will look into it and more than likely give you a refund.
#3 if everyone does it, how fast do you think they respond then.
#4 no one will do it because it's easier to complain on social media, good night children

the same thing happened to me when i swapped it over but luckily my card had changed since feb when i paid for LORTV so they couldnt charge me twice. I had to send 3 emails or so before i finally got a reply. i still havent tried to watch it on mavtv cuz we were racing saturday but i think they finally got my account swapped over

Just wanted give everyone an update on the new MAVTVPLUS app. Unfortunately the website went down Saturday Night before the postponement and it affected everything. Also I did not have any WIFI in the tower to give people an update on the app and website.
I am working with MAVTVPLUS still on the issues that some of you have had with the transfer from LORTV to MAVTVPLUS. We have taken care of several people and realize we have more to go yet.
I am not the geek squad, just the middle man in taking care of subscribers issues. I know it has been frustrating for some of you and I will try to help with any issue you may have with your account etc.
Just direct message me on Facebook and I will be in contact with you.
And also rain, rain go away.

I can assure you I know what I'm doing and there are definitely issues with their servers/app. I can get logged in only to be told "Subscription required" when I click on a stream. My account shows my renewal and date that I was renewed. It doesn't matter if it's via the app, the website, Roku, whichever, all the same issue.

They have work to do and hopefully they get it sorted soon. It's not working correctly for everyone just as some people have issues with the various streamers while others never experience a hiccup. Don't always discount people's struggles when sometimes it is indeed something out of their control! With that said, I also agree many people's errors are self-induced!

Well logging into a website should not be like trying to start a 1965 Farmall tractor.

You pull the choke halfway and bump the starter twice.. then put it in first and let the clutch out a quarter way.. engage the PTO while jiggling the choke.. put it back in neutral, disengage the PTO and you should be ready to start her up.. pull the choke out all the way, hold the starter down till she fires then push the choke in 65%.. pump the clutch twice and you should be in business.

I am not sure if this will help or not, but sometime login issues can be solved by clearing your browsing history and then logging back in. I don't know if that will help with the MAV TV + issue some of you are having, but it may be worth trying.

First time it wouldn't let me login. Second time it went through, albeit slowly before eventually allowing me to view.

For what it's worth, the Roku app works without a hitch!

I can have 5 windows open streaming 5 different races on Flo and Dirtvision and everything is seamless and lightning fast. When I access a race on Mav my latest and greatest computer moves at a snails paces. Believe Mav was shooting to replace the Obamacare roll out as the worse website intro in history.

Last night you couldn't even get into Mav as the host server went down. Tech Support provided me a direct link via email that as selected immediately worked. Like BB-55 I have services streaming with Flo and DV without one hiccup and they work flawless all evening. I as well have a 3 month old laptop and anything you attempt on the Mav site is 30-60 seconds to load and then it may timeout. Pure garbage....

Yep, Roku works without a hitch. Website doesn't load (or loads extremely slowly) and phone app says subscription required. Glad I have a Roku!

For anyone interested in a Roku, they are on sale currently for $29- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0916TKFF2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=9397596eea8511eb827cd265bfc591920INT&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Also available for that price at Target, Walmart, Best Buy and others probably. A really good device for many other things as well.

I got my Dad a Roku for Father's Day a year or two or so ago. He uses it mainly to stream Youtube on his TV. I've thought about getting him a Flo/Dod subscription for Christmas or his birthday and setting him up to stream with their app.
