    This can get confusing. I'm no expert for sure but wanna add something and keep it as simple as possible.

    On my older tv, probably much like yours, I plugged a 29 dollar Roku stick into my tv's HDMI port. My wireless internet router recognized the Roku stick on my tv. On my computer I went into my new Roku account. From there you have 100 or more "apps" you can add for FREE and they show up on my tv. Lucas Oil racing was one of them which I added from my COMPUTER.

    Now when I turn on my tv all the "apps" I added show up on the screen and Lucas Oil Racing is one of them. Simply click the Lucas Oil Racing app and your watching it on your tv.

    Now WoO, Dirtvision or DoD can't be done this way. As of now, and that may change, they are not on Roku or any other "platform".

          All of the races on FloRacing and LORTV are archived. You can watch them any time you want and as often as you want. You can select heats, consy’s, feature, etc, or you can watch the entire live broadcast again. Lots of options already, and keeps getting better.

            Fire stick plugged into the hdmi port of tv works great. Fire has a web browser app that you can download and the. Use that go get to the website with the video like dirtvision. Also flo and Lucas have a built in app that you can download to watch those.

              Terry, if I have this correct Lucas is 99 bucks, Flo is 150 bucks and Dirtvision is 40 a month the best deal by far is Lucas. And DoD at 12 a month gives you rundowns and previews in text and 7-10 minute video of WoO and Lucas features as well as short clips of the heats. They also have staff writers that give you LM news from around the USA .

              I have to make a decision soon and think I'm going with the Lucas and DoD subscriptions. I really only want or watch LM so Flo gives me much more than I need, don't need their college football either, and WoO is out of control at 40 a month.

                468 for the year. I don’t know. I will try the others as well.

                  One month of the Summer Nats and WoO LM was worth the 40 bucks for 1 month of Dirtvision but that's enough. Even if I were a Sprint fan that's still 20 a month each for WoO Sprints and LM for the Dirtvision subscription.

                  All said and done DoD at 12 a month is the best deal but I have a feeling when they merge with Flo we're screwed. My guess is they won't allow you just the DoD and make you pay for the Flo package with the college football, soap box car and kite races to get DoD. ............ Oh well, DoD will have been nice while it lasted.

                    We got the Dirtvision FastPass for 30 days last year for the Summernationals, but otherwise we don’t do DirtVision. I’m not paying $500 a year for anything on TV when there’s so many other options for far less.
