    Dirtvision

    I never have any issues with Flo but Dirtvision is like a 3rd world product. Their on air talent for late models are interns at best other than the Summernationals. Constantly buffering on my computer which has 0 issues with any other streaming service. I am guessing their IT infrastructure is as inferior as everything else about their operation is.

        I did not renew my subscription to DirtVision this year because their app has such poor functionality, especially compared to FloRacing. Considering the cost is significantly higher for DirtVision, I decided it is not worth my money. When their app worked, it was really nice to watch the Summer Nationals live. I do miss being able to watch the Kings Royal and Knoxville Nationals for the sprints.

          I've I have had any issues with any race streaming website, but I did see a lot of people complain about DirtVision this weekend. It did make me wonder what the issues were for the people trying to watch the race.

            Sounds like there were issues for EVERYONE last night/this morning. They ended up posting on social media that the race would be on their youtube channel because they were having issues. Were you the single person it was working ok for?

              I was watching the big block mods on roku, and Fairbury on chrome on two TV's side by side. All the sudden both streams went down. Was before the shootout at Fairbury. Server error. Couldn't connect back to either stream. Apparently it didn't affect everyone, but it was enough that they went live with Fairbury, free on youtube.

              Didn't really keep track of time, but maybe a half hour or so later while I was watching on youtube, the stream came back on, on the Roku.

              Also, later during the feature, the screen was suddenly colored bars, kind of like off air analog overnight back in the day. That only lasted about a minute though.

                Flo is the best bang for your buck. Look at all the other sports you get with one package. They don't lose connection and if there was ever a problem tech support is super fast. I ditched DV a couple years ago and can't be bothered.

                  I have more issues with Flo than I do dirtvision. I think most of it is my junky internet. It does no good to complain about it, I just deal with it.

                    What Internet company do you all have? I have the fastest service Verizon can provide. I believe that is why I've never had any issues with streaming sites like Flo, DirtVision, IMCA TV, Hunt The Front TV, & Dirt 2 Media.

                      I'm on Spectrum One Gig Plan. Never understood the argument that it's janky Internet causing an issue when ONLY Flo is unresponsive? Everything be working EXCEPT Flo sure seems to be a red flag it's Flo that has an issue. Doesn't happen super often but sometimes my issue is the app won't go past the first page. Just hangs. Have to keep closing app and reloading to get thru pretty regularly. Removed & re-installed the app multiple times. It just doesn't work about 30-40% of the time. Plus they don't seem to grasp the different time zones. List a show for 6:30PM EST and page won't even load till 8:00PM. It's the EST/CST etc they can't figure out...my sub expires in couple days. No more for me. I'm out!

                        I use my PC and the web page. I have almost no problems. If I do, it's the old laptop I'm using.

                          I hardly ever have a problem with Flo. It might buffer for a couple of seconds every now and then I don't have dirtvision so I can't comment on their service.

                            i have Optimum for internet. i rarely have issues with Flo. DV on the other hand i do have problems. Quite often the screen freezes on the initial screen so i have to get out of it and start over. this happens almost daily at least once on both of my tv's i use to watch. I dont dislike either PPV service. I usually have 1 tv on FLO & the other on DV.

                            Heres where Flo is better: you can rewind and pause very easily a live broadcast. The ads that pop up on Flo are annoying and can affect this alot so i usually just jump out, go live, and then rewind to where i want to start watching. i will make dinner during the times i know there is nothing to watch live on DV for me, but when im watching Flo i dont have to worry about this as i just pause the broadcast. DV needs to upgrade in this area to rival Flo.
