I hope the rumor is true!

Mav TV is only available on the most expensive cable package here on Long Island, New York. Optimum Cablevision is what we have. I think it's the gold package or something they call it. Big $$$ it is.

Guess I'm just old (No kidding? LOL) but I'm not watching TV on my PC.

I have enough staring at this dang thing by the end of the day.

Ed, most new TV's have a browser built into them. Have Kyle take you to Best Buy.

NHRA could monetize their Mello Yellow Drag Racing Series broadcast by streaming it on their website to NHRA Members. This would allow for their Membership (which of course is not free) base to grow exponentially. It would essentially allow for fans to be paying for a NHRA Membership for the privilege to watch the races and receive National Dragster. Not sure how well it would work though as a lot of people are not accustomed to watching TV on a Computer or PCTV. If they went this route and expanded it out by allowing streaming on Android Phones and Tablets, iPhone, iPads, etc., it would definitely broaden their reach too as many people now-a-days own such a device. Of course only time will tell though how successful they would be if they decide to venture down such an avenue...

(on a side note, it would definitely be appealing if they broadcast Stock and SuperStock racing with commentary too in such a manner)

Ed, if u have wifi and a laptop with a newer tv with a hdmi port and a usb port [usb port not necessary on tv, u can run usb from a power source] I would try the chrome cast. the price is 35.00 at best buy. just follow the instuctions and watch on ur big screen tv.u will also need google chrome as ur browser.

I would think Mello Yellow has something in their contract that says NHRA has to be televised somehow.

Most newer laptops even have a HDMI output... you could set your laptop close to your tv, run a HDMI cable from your laptop to your TV (with an HDMI input), and boom, you're all set!!!

Brad tried that, u have to adjust ur graphics card to a higher pixel and still not as good as clicking the google cast and getting a full screen from the git go. also if u have an external sound system don't forget to go to the tv input and switch to the tv speakers for sound.
