What can we do to show our support for this series?? I just switched from Dish to Directv mainly because of this very issue. I think we ALL need to send an email to MavTV or whom ever we need to send it to, so this great show does not meet the same fate as many other TRUE racing shows.
It would be even better if DIRECTV would broadcast this in HD. MAVTV broadcasts are HD but DIRECTV chooses to use SD instead as it uses less space on their satellite. This is what I was told when I called DIRECTV. Maybe if enough fans called DIRECTV and asked for HD it might make a difference.

That is correct. I used to work for the company that created DirecTV and built the satellites. HD signal takes up more space on the transponder that carries the satellite signal. If they went to HD they would likely want to charge more for the channel.
