Off-topic, but at the Belmont, under the trees at the paddock, you could meet with HRTV personalities. I spoke to Aaron (can't pronounce his last name correctly) who is on with Jeff Siegel on the "Against the Odds" program, and asked him why HRTV is not on Direct TV. He said that HRTV is going high-definition by the fall and that they thought there was a chance Direct TV might add it. I am not quoting him verbatim. Pleasant guy.

I wonder if TVG is on its last legs.
