I liked they 1992 coverage when they had PPV channels. It was possible to actually watch an entire event rather than being jerked around from one venue to another so they could show you the American about to win a medal.

You must be the other guy who bought the Tripelcast. It was wonderful. I had three VCRs set up when I wasn’t home. Even diving and Greco-Roman wrestling were interesting when you could watch the entire event.
The Olympic coverage, and all sports coverage, has become female oriented. NBC knows that they have the men. They are trying to get women to watch. So...
Lots of “up close and personal” sob stories. Lots of drama building. Lots of interviews with parents and friends. Lots of commercials. Very little sports.
I hate it. I’ll record the sports and watch it on high speed playback, skipping the crap. I can usually watch an 8 hour broadcast in under an hour.
I have high hopes for OnDemand, Cox already has HD Olympic coverage set aside on it so hopefully I can watch what I want to watch when I Want to watch without to much fluff.
