Football/Nascar/F1 fans... would you rent this service? - RF Cafe
Forums
RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media
platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around
August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and
Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe
Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great
posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads,
including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org
I don't understand it. If I wanted to watch
a race on TV, it would be a heck of a lot cheaper
to pay the cable company or a satellite tv company
for service and stay home. The purpose of going
to a race is to see it in person. I would pay to
see races that are not presently covered by video
media, but this 'service' does not appear to be
anything like that.
My mindset is much like yours. I would never pay
to have such a thing. However it seems most don't
get the full feel for what these devices are capable
of just from viewing the website.
Each service
varies quite a bit from the other.
For example,
with the Nascar unit you can get all of the in car
camera channels that are available via Direct TV
plus you can listen to the drivers communication
with the pit crew just by typing in the car #. For
many years Nascar fans have carried scanners, so
this may appeal to that crowd. If I'm not mistaken
Nascar is where Kangaroo has been most successful.
With the NFL version you can watch any NFL
game that is in progress, see live updated stats
on any game and any player plus all fantasy football
stats.
I haven't seen what you actually
get with the F1, Le Mans and EPGA services.
