chas71 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Can anyone let me know how they watch Dirtvision on a TV? According to the Dirtvision website: "DIRTVision does not support any gaming device, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or any Smart TV. The video player does support Chromecast however - although not all versions of Chromecast are compatible. Many users also have good experiences using the iWebTV app." I don't have any Apple products so the iWebTV app is not applicable to me.

That IQ0 Car Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Just a suggestion, but if you have a laptop or computer with an hdmi output you could always hook that up to the hdmi input on the tv. I’ve never done it with dirtvision but I have done it with other streaming services and conceptually it should work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just turn it on when there is a race, switch the TV input to the correct HDMI port and we are all set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondaFan16 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Chas, I watch on my Amazon Fire stick all the time. I just use the Amazon Silk web browser to access DIRTvision that comes along with the fire stick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I watch it with my Amazon fire stick. I believe there's DTD TV app if you search apps I pay for it on my phone at DTD TV since the fire tv app doesn't support payments then watch it on the fire stick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to watch DIRTvision on those devices you can, you need need to use the web browser that comes with the device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelsUpHammerDown10 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 For anyone that has an iPhone, iPad and/or an apple TV, you can screencast dirtvision to your TV too. That's how I use it. It works well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuller#1 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I access Chrome Google through my android box. Then sign in from there to Dirtvision. Up until this month. The live tv supplier through my android box had a subscription to both FloRacing and Dirtvision. All summer long I was getting those races for free. It was great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see I got an A + in reading comprehension...haha Thanks for clearing that up about DIRT vision By the way my wife & I have enjoyed being able to watch races on DTD TV - I'm not sure if I'll be able to convince to go to a track again lol I'll go out on a limb here but a possible alternative to an HDMI connection is "casting" to a TV from a phone or tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racermurray Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I cast from my phone or I-pad to my roku using the (Video & TV Cast) app , works great . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper12a Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have an adapter for my IPad Mini that converts from the Apple input to HDMI input, connect an HDMI cable from the adapter to a port on my tv. I just use my internet browser on the mini for streaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan dan Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have my 17 yr old daughter do it for me. Works great that way. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Brady Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well now that I know you can do it might work with Chromecast I can try to side-install it on my fire Tv. Same way I can watch HBO Max on FireTV though they say it doesn't work. If it's a google app it will work on Fire Tv. I hate using that horrible silk browser. I always end up having to close it and reboot it every time I watch Dirtvision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Brady Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 yeah well, while my dad and brother were out playing in the dirt with heavy equipment I was playing on my Texas Instruments TMS9900. I'm geek through and through. I just finished programming my new Linux computer for my Arcade Cabinet I bought, with a 32" Roku generic tv. 12,000 Arcade and Console games from Atari 2800 up to the original Playstation. Great little computer about the size of a deck of cards. Runs like a champ. Computers, Video games and Electronics are my biggest past time. Accept for going to the races, nothing is as cool as that. Even racing online isn't as cool as watching a live race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas71 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Thanks for all of the responses. Hopefully in the future Dirtvision will be an app on Roku or easier to access on a TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a release is coming very soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
