    I am tempted to try the free months trial. What puts me off is the fact that to cancel your subscription before the end of the month you have to phone up. The lines are only open Mon -Fri 9-5 so I am bit worried that it will be impossible to get through.

    Has anybody tried this free month in the past?

    I have a free 4 day Racing TV pass courtesy of Newmarket racecourse. They have kindly given this to all their annual badgeholders as a concelation for missing the Guineas meeting.

    We have to ring on each of the 4 days to activate the pass with a code.
    Each time I have rung it has taken about 10 minutes to get through but I had a query and rang when racing was on air and got through in less than 5 minutes so that could be the best time to call to deactivate your free trial.
    They do say they are available 7 days a week 8.00am-9.00pm
    Check their website .. customer services

    I think I might take up that offer too chestnut in time for Royal Ascot .. good spot :good: ..Jac

    I took a free month’s trial around November time.There was no difficulty cancelling then. I did ensure I contacted them early in the day should there be any problem and it was in normal times…

    I have never experienced any problems contacting RTV. They have always answered promptly.

    If only their app was as good as the customer service. It is slow and frequently crashes.

    “I think I might take up that offer too chestnut in time for Royal Ascot ..”

    Quick reminder, Jac, that Ascot is a Sky Sports Racing course and not on Racing UK.

    I used mine on TV only(Sky). Thinking back, I had some difficulty getting it initiated online so had to phone them.

    Thanks Gladiateur :good:
    I think that’s decided me not to go ahead and just watch ITV coverage on Royal Ascot and my backed horses in the later races on the Paddy Power site.

    Have downloaded the RacingTV App on my mobile and it is excellent with video replays, tips and trainer and jockey comment plus much more all for free. :good: unlike Racing Post where you are restricted from some information unless you join their Members Club.
    Worth a look if you don’t have it already

    Also worth noting that if you have a Betfair account and are logged in, you can now view every race, every day on their live stream, even if you haven’t had a bet.

    The live stream is only about 3 inches big on Betfair etc. What is the point of having a picture that small and is there a way to increase it to viewable proportions?

    I have always wondered that Yeats (Betfair screen very small)

    Racing Tv great for Irish racing.

    Yes, there is a way to increase the size of the picture. Just use the features of whatever browser you employ to zoom in, the same as you would to increase the size of the text for a normal page.

    I can give the detail for Firefox, which is what I use. The Live Stream picture opens in a pop-up window. Top right of that window is the three bars that you click on to access the options. Then use the zoom ‘+’ button to grow the size of the picture box – I go from 100% to 300%. Then make the window full screen size and you have a watchable view of the race.
