I think you will find that the DVR won't work for pay per view events

It worked for "The Prelude to the Dream"

From Jim Morrison
My dad used to question if I'd actually been to the Indianapolis 500 because I would dash home so I could watch the tape-delayed broadcast on local television in the 1970s. So it doesn't sound crazy to me at home.
Of course, this was before VCRs so you could not tape it at home to watch at your convenience.

I have Insight and my DVR records anything. I still have UFC 79 on it from last wekend. Plus I already have it set up for the Chili Bowl. I am so in love with my DVR! :rolling::kookoo2:

I'll be doing the same thing. This is a good idea for all those going to Tulsa. The race can use all the support it can get, and I'm sure all the die-hards heading to Tulsa would love to see this thing become a successful production. So for anyone going to the Bowl, order it if you can and you can re-live the excitement once you get back home!

Thanks for the post, Hawker...

I know your talking about the TV coverage but I wonder how much money is being exchanged for that? Who paid who for this coverage and who is making money? I know I sound clich

Re: Does this sound stupid?
 

After getting an idea of the numbers involved in this, no one is getting rich off the pay-per-view. There are a lot of places the money is going, and a lot of people are lending a hand to make it happen with no guarantee of making any money.

I think it could eventually become a money-maker, but I will be shocked if the numbers are strong enough this year to bring in much money for anyone involved...

Re: Does this sound stupid?
 

Any chance that they would show the Bowl on Speed since they televised the Prelude to the Dream a few weeks after it was on HBO?

Petey, it wouldn't supprise me. Doing that is another chance a a few more dollars.

I disagree with that. The whole trip already costs enough to do. I'm already contributing my money by going. I would like to see it, but I'm not paying for something I'll already be shelling out a lot of money for in the first place.

If it shows up on Speed (which I hope it does), I'll watch it. I'm not paying for it when I'm already spending money to go. Not a cheap trip with gas and everything else.
