No fan of the winter Olympics, but I did flip the channel to check out what's happening. I can see its in HD, but it doesn't seem as clear and breathtaking as other HD sports programming. Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, and the sound is suffering too. I can only assume it's the equipment they used to tape the earlier live events. You lose a "generation" from live to tape, and possibly during playback another generation is lost. It's like an onion: each layer that's peeled off makes the onion smaller.

BTW...that torch-lighting was bad-ass!!!

I was actually falling asleep...

Until the Ferrari F1 car lit it up with donuts at the Olympics...:thumbup:

A little out of place, of course, but I'm a sucker for all things F1...

Also - funny how the cameras kept seeking out hottie after hottie.:excited:
