Although I have long enjoyed Roku's devices, I sometimes use the laptop for a variety of reasons. But no need for cables. Just 'Windows Key +P', click the link to browse for monitors on your wifi and grab the roku or TV. Windows 10 uses Miracast which will work with most smart TVs and devices.

A Roku or Firestick is a one-time purchase for as low as $25. Download whatever app you want and watch (no recurring fees other than what you are already paying for like Dirtvision, Flo, HBO, Netflix, whatever). The problem lately has been the fact that users can't login via their computer. Roku, AppleTV, Firestick all work fine with no issues since they switched and got the logins worked out. PC however still has issues with logging in though I just reset my password once again and it let me login. Now of course I will have to re-login via Roku, Firestick, etc.Originally posted by Snake X3 View PostPeople that have a PC don't need a Roku, Firestick or even a Smart TV to watch streaming services. They run a cable between their PC and the TV. They don't have to pay $30/mo for a load of crap they don't want anyway.
For me it's not a big deal but there are many users out there who don't have the techno ability or patience to adapt to each change made. I can sympathise with their frustration. A Roku, etc simplifies the whole process and frees up a PC to use for yet another race being streamed and just works (currently). Like someone else said above, I think they have people working in areas they don't have quite the expertise needed. While their support has been excellent for me (responses within minutes), others haven't had that luxury.
Many reasons. Some don't even HAVE a TV!Originally posted by Tireguy17 View PostHonest question.....Why is anyone trying to watch a streaming service via a website?
With Apps, Roku, Firestick, or even a Smart TV, I dont understand going that route.
Or they don't want to spend more money for a streaming device (not all smart TV's have the ability to use dirt streaming apps or even a basic web browser). But also in addition to a TV, you can use a PC for other races being streamed. And people aren't always at home when a race is going on. A PC comes in handy while at a track or traveling down the road (as a passenger of course). Plus there isn't an app for Windows PC's.

For any of you having issues timing out when trying to log in, I believe I found the issue. If you try to use https://mavtvplus.com/ vs https://WWW.mavtvplus.com/ that should fix the issue. Don't ask me why, but as I referenced above, I was able to log in when first going to the old Lucas site which redirects you to https://mavtvplus.com/ WITHOUT the WWW.
I'll tell ya, the people that handled setting that website up are completely clueless. I won't go into a long technical explanation of why that is totally F'd up, but that is like Domain name 101 stuff. They never set up the www level domain. You might be able to get around it by clearing your cookies, but I haven't tested that yet.
This won't fix the issue with Legacy annual subscriptions, but it will fix the timeout issues. Hope someone finds that helpful.

I think he seems to think if it works on his system with his subscription that MavTV hasn't F'd up and everything is okay.Originally posted by CrankedUp90 View PostSame here TD, the problem is when its a yearly only event like the Topless was and this Saturday night is.

No, I'm saying it worked tonight. If you pay attention to my posts, it's the same thing as CrankedUp90, it didn't work last week when it was a yearly subscriber show. So yeah, it's still f'ed up.Originally posted by Snake X3 View PostI think he seems to think if it works on his system with his subscription that MavTV hasn't F'd up and everything is okay.
We'll see if they have indeed got it worked out come Saturday. Anyone using an app, whether it's via Roku, Firestick, XBOX or mobile, it works just fine once you get the password reset done. Like I said above though, fortunately it isn't an issue for me since I only use the laptop as an extra screen while watching other events.

Before I waste the money, is this one of those events (Port Royal) that's a yearly subscription only?
