Yeah, I know that but you would think they would replay some of the more important events at an hour that most folks could watch.

they can't prenounce anything! they prenounce xiao as chao and qin and quin. you'd think if this were your job you'd be suited to at least prenounce names from all countries correctly.

They played at 6:00 p.m Beijing time, Duh. How about we ask them to arrange U.S-Greece game at 6:00 a.m Beijing time so that everyone in the U.S would be able to watch the game. Now lets do that.

I might modify that to 33% volleyball, 33% Phelps and 33% odd little girls' gymnastics. In past Olympics it was 80% gymnastics and 20% human interest stories.

It is like NBC's cameras are mounted in concrete in the major venues and can't move around to show different events. And this goes for showing China itself. Cynics say they don't want to go out and about because they might come upon a protest and feel obligated to broadcast it, thus pissing off the government. See no evil...

I would like to see some outside scenery and all the minor sports. This is what makes the Olympics special. And, of course, sweaty scantily clad women with fine athletic bodies sprawling in hot sand.

when is soccer?!?!! does anyone know? im about to lose my mind!

True...true.

Not sure what you're complaining about Quicksilver?

Last I checked, there are 4 (FOUR!) channels of Olympic coverage: NBC HD, UHD, MSNBC, and sometimes even CNBC. When I get tired of swimming, I just flip over to another channel to watch boxing or fencing. I think NBC has achieved good balance wih both live and taped events, considering the 12-hour time difference.
If you consider the sheer volume of events (30+ sports) it's impossible to cover every single match in every single sport, but I think they've captured a pretty big cross-section so far.

My one main complaint is the relentless onslaught of commercials, but that's been the case for every Olympics.

It's definitely been on TV. I was watching South Korea-Italy on like the 2nd day. Don't recall which of the 4 channels....
