Before they went digital I could pick up all 4 network channels with rabbit ears, now I have an outdoor digital antenna with a amplifier and rotator and only get two of them. When it rains i lose those too...It sucks!

I emailed Fox and said " To put it bluntly Fox Sports 1 sucks, bring back the Speed Channel." I did not even get an automated reply !

yeah what's done is done. I just don't know why they had to replay their college football preview every day for two weeks. they need some more programming, so they should have kept some of those car shows.

OH AND THE KICKER. (DISH) I HAD TO PAY AN EXTRA 10 BUCKS A MONTH TO GET THE FOX SPORTS2 CHANNEL. IF NOT... THERE'S NO WAY TO WATCH THE RACE.

You're good this weekend.

From what I can tell all the Speed Channel racing is still there, just not all the reruns.

I feel ya', we use one in VT at a location that is directly across Mt. Mainsfield (the tallest mountain in VT and the source of the broadcast signal) and despite an un obstructed view of the tower, barely 3 channels come in... Sigh
