New to streaming. When you buy this week long package for the Chili Bowl can you...
1. stream to your DVR for later viewing? or is the TV just a monitor? (watching live all week will be difficult with work)
2. Does the Racin Boys site archive for later/next day on demand viewing for PPV customers?
3. Would folks recommend all week PPV or are certain individual nights more bang for $?
4. How do you rate the streaming service quality...1 star to 5 stars

I do not want to get all pissed off and throw money down the drain because I don't know what I am doing.
Thanks for your input!

I'll try to answer as best I can.

1. No way to stream to your DVR, it's live. To be able to watch it on your TV, you would need to either stream it on a laptop and hook your laptop up to your TV through an HDMI cable, or use something like a chromecast to do that wirelessly.
2. Yes, they do archive. But, you may need to be a premium member to watch archives, I'm not sure.
3. It is cheaper to buy all 6 days ($145) than individually ($30 a day). You basically get a day and some change for free.
4. I've bought the stream the last 4 years, I think. I would rate it a 4. There are inevitably going to be a few hiccups with roughly 44 hours of live racing being streamed (you may have to refresh the page a few times throughout the week if the stream freezes.) They have multiple camera shots, slow motion replays, interviews, live announcers. Back to back prices increases are a little hard to swallow, but I understand this year's with the added night. I will continue to purchase, however.

Just be aware you don’t get B Mains or the A Main on Saturday on Racin Boys.

I believe you don't get the C Mains either. They are all on MAVTV Saturday night.

I don't have MavTV. Just paid a 100 for a year of LucasOilRacingTV. I believe they have the same broadcast as MAVTV.
I'm getting all stoked for Chili Bowl watching the past ones and putting in my Pool picks but if I ignore my wife for six nights in a row I'll be in the doghouse.

I have watched the last 3 years all days for around $100. This year I think they want 144 for 6 days. It's a lot of racing and a good feed. You hate to miss any of it. You see a good 5 to 6 hours a night. Sat is really pretty good. They start early in the day and run all day up to the live tv.

I have had the ppv every year. It is very good. There might be a hiccup one night but most nights you can just start it and it is good. Not cheap but it is a ton of racing and is really good.
