ok i know there are tons of answers about dirtvison

but

i don't see where i can cast the show to my TV....do i have to have something more to do that

and do i have to get a verification code every time i log in

i hope purchasing this before i get answers wasn't a mistake

thanks ahead of time for any help

The verification code should send to the email account you set when registering. I don't have to put it in every time, not sure how often they make you revalidate but it's not often.

I either watch on my phone, tv using a roku stick, or smart TV in my shop. Whenever I tried to cast from my phone to TV the quality is awful.

Just signed up today. Have seen more buffering already than all last season with flo.

Purchased DirtVision thru Roku

Had zero issues, great production last night.  Streaming quality was spot on

You're looking for a little rectangle icon with semicircles. I think sometimes it's a triangle. Click on that icon and then chose your device. Usually the icon is at the top of the screen if you're holding your phone upright or sideways. 

Your tv must be connected to the same wifi connection. 

Keep It Real

Not sure what your TV setup is, but I cannot cast to my ROKU TV from my laptop because Dirtvision and Flo are  not Youtube apps, and thats all a ROKU  accepts for casting is Youtube apps.  To get around this I added a Chromecast adapter which will accept casts from anything on your desktop.  And you must use a Google browser

I purchased a $30-40 Roku, subscribed to Flo and Dirtvision at each of their websites, and have very little trouble with each since using the Roku. Don't even need a smart TV using that. 

If you have an LG TV, you're screwed.

I've got an LG TV, but I'm using mine with a Roku.   That's probably why mine is working great.   Someone else above had good luck with Roku too.  

Hey Hawker, how the health are ya ? I have an LG and I just get the Dirt Vision broadcast going on my laptop then connect to it via wireless with the laptop and watch in HD. It works excellent for me. I just go to settings the click on display then click on connect to a wirless display and all the smart TV's show up and I pick my LG 65' in my living room and enjoy. 

The older I get the faster I was

Worked good for me last night. We will see how the next couple of go. We had a storm in our area Wednesday don't if that would affect it. We will be under the same conditiions Sat. I time will tell.

Our 3 tv's a;ll work just fine watching on DirtVision

1.  I personally think the verification code method is the bomb.  Less passwords to manage.

2.  I personally would not cast this to your TV.  In my opinion, find another way.  

3.  DV went off without a hitch for me each night.  Hearing people blame DV for their streaming issues is like watching someone beating a dead horse.  DV is not the issue.  DV's stream went off flawlessly.  

I don't have a problem with the verification.   It's just different, and many people just don't like anything different.   As long as I'm watching through my Roku I don't do anything.  If I sign onto it with a different device it makes me do the verification, but it doesn't take long at all.   I also had absolutely no buffering issues this weekend.   

I usually roll my eyes at the technologically challenged on here and social media but I actually had a brain fart with DirtVision a couple of weeks back. When I opened the app on Apple TV, which usually works flawlessly, it would only play the audio and the screen was frozen. I realized during the 360 races that I had to click the "live" button for it to play. Otherwise for me the picture stayed frozen. 

Once I figured that out, it worked perfect as usual. 

I usually roll my eyes as well.  Not because I am so technologically advanced.  It's because I am so technologically dumb and I am still able to figure out how to make DV and FLO go off without a single hitch, every single race.  

Sure you did. 

Have not had buffering issues with Dirt Vision usung it the last three years. Fast it from my iPhone to my Samsung TV's with no problems. Feels like people nust take sides and then badmouth the other.
