I work for a telecom company that partners w/ Dish. I can't even get information on the status. Not sure why they guard it so closely.
The only good news I've heard for my area (Tipton, IN) is the the local provider TDS, is launching a fiber network to include TV early Jan'16. A sales contractor I know working it expects to see MAV added to it around the same time. Just in time for Chili Bowl! Fingers crossed.
They are supposedly working on a streaming option. I've seen them talk about it on their twitter and their facebook. As someone who doesn't have any cable, really wish they'd hurry up. Would be cool to see a Xbox One, Roku, Amazon Fire or Chromecast app to stream the channel live, even for a monthly fee.
I've seen where LucasOilRacing.TV is coming in early January 2016. It is going to be an on demand type deal in the form of a brand new app coming to Roku, Android, Apple, Amazon and other smart devices to give you access to all your favorite Motorsports. Looks like prices will be $4.99 a month with a year subscription or $6.99 a month for month to month. Also, from what I have read, the portion of the Chili Bowl that is to be streamed live on MavTV will also be included in your subscription.

Sweet, hope your right. I'd gladly pay $60 a year for that.
I just seen that, THANK YOU Lucas Oil, I just got signed up for a local elec. co-op Internet service with unlimited data. Winter will be shorter if we can start watching open wheel racing on tv again.

CBS, and NBC Sports has some Lucas Oil Promotions, but I haven't seen any open wheel stuff or Chilli Bowl advertised.
I just switched to Direct TV and called and canceled my Dish acct. they said that they were still negotiating with MAV TV. I say they are not. So see ya Dish Network
