Flo-racing is absolutely horrible

Can you elaborate? For the streaming or the content? I have watched hours of various races this year from Eldora to the cornfields of Iowa and never had any issues what so ever with the streaming. The best $150 a year a race fan could spend.

I use FLO Racing on a firestick and it always works well.

I thought that Flo did an excellent job over the 3 days of Gateway. Stellar camera work and, I thought, good announcing from the reporters. It's a very difficult job to broadcast an event of this scope with only a few minor glitches, one being some early interviews Saturday night with the audio clearly not that of the video being shown. The drone crashing on the back deck of the Late Model during lineups was a hoot.

Cody Sommers and group put on a thoroughly entertaining event and about the only thing that would have made it better for me was if Austin, the young first time LM heat winner on Thursday had taken the main win last night. He showed the enthusiasm and appreciation for the sport that first attracted many of us to racing. He made me smile and remember way back when...

I got the buffering blues maybe 4 times over 3 days or 16 hours of footage. That's not that bad. Just frustrating when it happens.
What can you say about Austin Simpson. Hadn't seen him race for a couple years. Had no idea he was in a super and was totally shell shocked at the results. What a feelgood story.

I never had one issue all weekend, and Im on probably crapiest internet for streaming too. That seems to happen when you live in the sticks.

I've never had a problem with any streaming platform.

I too, am way out in the boonies with an internet download speed of around just 17 MBPS using a Roku stick and Flo worked flawlessly all weekend long. Not once did it buffer or drop the stream.

A receiver/antenna some 100 feet up in a pine tree and bouncing off hot spots for my internet and only had a couple of 20-30 second buffering incidents over three days. Thinking of putting receivers on some of the goats and, with their wanderings, see if reception improves but it's pretty decent already. LOL

I experienced a little buffering Friday night during the midget feature,but otherwise it was fine. We were also streaming our local HS playoff game as well. I use a laptop with an HDMI cable output to our big screen. Our internet/router is not that great either.

I missed most of last night due to a nephew's birthday get-together.

ya DoD kicked me to the curb...they will never miss my measly $150Did you not renew your subscription or did they have some sort of meeting, decided to single you out, and systematically get rid of you? Just curious...In all seriousness though, what do you mean?

Still waiting on 50Dixon50 to tell us all why FLO is so horrible.

Almost all issues with steam stability are on the end user.

Yep, found that out a few months ago. Switched from Firestick to a Roku and problem resolved!

Restart your wifi router and streaming stick each event.......and youll have very few problems!

Flo Racing as far from horrible, have not had any issues and have viewed scores of races, great service.

Josh, you post that every time this subject comes up. I don’t think anyone listens. For what its worth, my audio/video engineer friend says the same. On Flo, via Firestick, I watch racing and a lot of ECHL hockey --- and I hardly ever have any buffering issues. I have the best tier internet that I can get, xfinity, if that matters.

I did definitely have some issues but it was well worth it
I'm illiterate when it comes to technology just glad I was able to figure out how to even use it

I have the Xfinity 900 Mps tier. Everything is hard wired that I watch races on, and of course gigabit Routers/switch. I get occasional buffering. Lets not forget the Track needs a good signal as well. Sometimes the stream isn't even available in 1080p.What was that Fairbury during the Summer, Friday signal was so bad they had to bring in a generator/satellite or something like that so the big show Saturday would be watchable?
