You must know the secret handshake.joshjr said:I got it for free for the rest of the season so Im not sure.
When I signed with Direct last week, they informed me they would be giving me the remainder of the HotPass for free. im not a NASCAR fan so I didnt think much of it at the time. However, ive because a casual fan after watching last weeks race. I thought pic quality was good. I dont think im a big enough fan to pony up the $$$ to renew next year though.Juppers said:I don't even know if it is worth it for free.. It has been pathetic this year.
Just remember how D* works with sports packages, you don't renew, they do that automatically. You have to be proactive and cancel it to avoid suprise changes on your bill next year.KAL said:When I signed with Direct last week, they informed me they would be giving me the remainder of the HotPass for free. im not a NASCAR fan so I didnt think much of it at the time.

Thanks for the heads up!2dogz said:Just remember how D* works with sports packages, you don't renew, they do that automatically. You have to be proactive and cancel it to avoid suprise changes on your bill next year.
I'm rethinking getting it. They had a free trial weekend and it wasn't that special. It was an impluse buy kind of thing with Race for the Chase and everything going on.
Hands up here too, with the whining -- with cheese please.SPACEMAKER said:Although there has been a ton of whining about Hotpass this year ( I have done my fair share) it's still well worth the money and a helluva lot better than watching on the network. The past few races have been especially good. The language editing has been much better as far as not blocking too much dialogue and the camera operators have been doing better at panning away from the cars to show the positions relative to the other cars.
I flipped over to Tony's channel at the end of the RIR race and he sure was ticked off at his team. Zippy didn't sound too happy with Tony calling out the team like that either. If not for Hotpass I'd have missed all that.smokes20 said:Hands up here too, with the whining -- with cheese please.
Even Smoke had his in car camera working and no censoring to speak of. There are still a few issues that could use more tweaking, but on the upside, Hotpass has gotten better.
Now, we shall see who gets the other three dedicated channels for the Chase since Jr has his own. My guess is that Jimmy will get one about every week. Horrible Harvick will probably get more than he deserves, Pretty boy Jeffie still might get a few depending on his mood, Edwards well, his popularity definitely has risen since he is putting the moves on Kyle quickly, and the others, including Smoke will have to "fight" to get their spot for one.

Well said.Tom_Oliver said:Add me to the complaining crowd, but it has been massively better the last few weeks. Actually my only real huge remaining issue is the delay, which still drives me nuts, but I am getting used to it. They got the HD feeds looking great and have been way better on the production lately.
After seeing the killer NFL HD mix channel I'd love to see one of those for hotpass. You could stick the TV feed in one screen and leave the rest for full in-car shots, and even let us choose the feed.![]()
