I like the multicam however its a pain to switch cameras as the application needs to reload each time you go to the 6 camera mosiac.
It's a good quality digital SD from my local, but I find it very disappointing that a major event in 2006 is still SD.

The app keeps freezing my 622 it works great in the 6 cam view.. as soon as I try to go to an individual camera it locks the receiver.
Indy 500 doesn't pull the numbers like Nascar. Indy probally will not beat the Coke 600 tonight and it is 4 or 5 on the list of big Nascar races. That is why they don't spend the money to send the HD camera's. Forget tradition look at the numbers.
I liked the 6-camera view, but you're right, Scott, it's a little clunky trying to go back-and-forth.
And HD is missed.

No it was not HD last year but I thought they annouced several months ago that this years race would be. The digital sd is better than last years. Anyway it was a great finish HD or not.
Was surprised to view these channels in INDY since the RACE is not shown live and race was blacked out. Still the radio audio feed and the six live cameras were better than just the radio only. Found that if I hit Guide I could pick one of six cameras without reloading. Again better than nothing in the black-out area around Indianapolis. Didn't know if this was only for 622 or could 942s see these too?
It was a great finish! We'll be hearing a lot more from Marco Andretti. His dad must really be torn between pride for his son and disappointment about losing his "last" opportunity. I'll bet he will be back.
I was disappointed in the 6 feed setup. If it had been in HD, the individual feeds could have been bigger. They need to make switching between cameras seamless and also give seamless access to the Main network feed too. I eventually gave up and just watched the Network channel.

I tried to go to the 6 camera feed twice with my 942, but it crashed and powered off both times.
I had it lock up my 622 requiring a Power button reset.
I did however have the 622 recording the F1 race on HD LIL CBS, and recording the Indy500 on ABC via OTA. Then I tried to watch six in-car. When trying to go "full screen" on one of the mosaic screens I locked up.
After the reboot, I had the DVR record the ABC OTA, and just manually swapped between the F1 and In-car channels. I had to leave the Dish Interactive application out of the picture.

Coke 600 looked great in HD!!!!
I had to watch the race tonight on my Bell 9200 to get FOX in HD but it looked great!!!!! Nice to see somebody new win (I mean besides Jimmie Johnson). Can't wait 'till I get Detroit locals on my 622.

It's not the Indy 500 that did not have it in HD, it is the Network that covers the event that makes that decision.
Jimbo
The TV feed of the Indy 500 is controlled by the Indianapolis Raceway. They have a long term contract with ABC to televise their event. HD would cost them extra money with no return (ABC payment is locked in the contract). Until that contract is up and the competing bidders demand HD, Indianapolis 500 will be SD.Jimbos said:

It doesn't matter who decides racetrack or network it is not worth while for them to do it because of the ratings.
