My stepdad let me know this morning he saw 668-3 on his Directv so he is happy.

I guess on directv stream (I have that) the channel won't show up until the game is played??? I had to call Directv since I didn't see the channel for the Twins and the rep said easiest way to record the games is through 'sports central' app and select the Twins. I did that and the guy said today's game will record. (Saturdays FS1 game says it will record) I hope so.

The Guardians channel is also now live

 

[Mr Tony]

So about 10 minutes before the pregame 668 (668-3) lit up in the guide. Then the game was delayed due to rain so we got the same thing that MLB net (213) was showing (the multiple games on screen and audio moving around). What sucked is Directv stream then removed the channel yet it still recorded fine. Then the channel popped back up when they left the other programming.
Weird…….
Directv stream…….just leave the channel there even though there is no programming on it sometimes. Makes it easier for subs to see what time the game is on, etc. Don't remove it just because

Hey maybe they heard me??!!!???
Channel is still there even though there is no game until Saturday. Says on the screen "Next game Telecast Saturday March 29th Twins @ Cardinals Coverage begins at 1PM CDT"

MAVTV has rebranded to RACER Network

 

[lordodogg]

I see the Racer logo in the bottom right, but the guide still says "214 MAVTVHD" for me. Wonder when they'll update that.

 

[KyL416]

The network was sold to RACER Magazine on Thursday, for the next few months the MavTV logo will still occasionally appear while they update the website, app, mics, graphics, etc
