I am rather disappointed by the olympics coverage this year. NBC has definately done it's best to control the US media market (print, web, and of course TV), that's for sure. I cannot speak for the HD coverage, but from some of the comments I've heard, it's pretty bad, too. Sure they have 5 channels of olympics coverage, but they hold everything until they want it played--and don't really tell us what is when. In the current age of TiVo (and dare I say other PVRs), they should give us a schedule of when every sport is going to be aired, and then we can TiVo the ones we want to see. 2 hours of gymnastics interspersed with 5 mins of swimming is not my idea of good programming (not that I am downplaying gymnastics, but my ADD mind doesn't want to see 2 hours straight). Where are the highlights from other sports?
At least they put the Men's basketball on at the right time--7a when nobody really wants to watch them anyway.
I found this funny little flash that gives me all the highlights I need....
