yes

Working here. Just tried them.

Sorta working.. the audio sync is WAY off on the driver audio channels. At least they are giving people an accurate picture of how the service normally goes on this free preview weekend.

Works fine here. You have to wait a few seconds for the application to load in and a little bug in the lower left will have a graphic of the red button to press. Should take only 5 seconds or so to load in, at least that's the case on my boxes.

I just checked, worked fine. Back to the Gordon channel.

I had the same problem - worked for a while, then didn't work. I changed channels then went back to 799 and now it works again.

Too bad they have such a delay on the audio. Nothing like hearing the spotter call "coming high" when the pass is already complete. It does show you how much can happen in four or five seconds I guess.

yep...started working here a few mins before the race started.

As soon as you pause or use any trickplay you loose the red button functionality. Fast forwarding back to live leaves red button still broken. The only way to restore it seems to be to change channels and back.

It's the same malfunctioning mess for any DirecTV channel with special interactive functions... everything breaks the minute you pause or rewind from "live", and everything is broken when watching a recording of the program. It's due to an unbelievably bad implementation of the interactive features on the DVR platforms.
