[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4431503, member: 35909"] Argh, i'll never stop getting annoyed at the total and utter focus on the U.S. team, to the ridiculous exclusion of all other countries on NBC. I thought in the internet age, someone somewhere would be able to load up a danged video of events, but alas it's basically only nbcolympics.com, and that means little chance of seeing other countries compete unless you're on at the exact right time and you hit the lucky ~2% chance nbc deigned to stream the event live. I've been lucky with badminton and gotten to see some chinese, japanese, british, taipei, korean, and other teams, but other sports...not so much. Now here it is I REALLY want to see the china vs. china beach volleyball match (man would it be awesome if the upstart young team won and got to take their amazing serving skills into the final against may/walsh), and...nope. Not worth airing online or prime time/live. I've discovered that it will be on USA network in my area, sometime between the hours of of 2 a.m. and 9 a.m. That's just great, seeing as how I have to go to work in the morning... Is it so much to at least say when each event in the block's going to air if it's freaking taped anyway? Seriously, can we just give the camcorders over to a bunch of teenagers to post on youtube next olympics? /angry rant [/QUOTE]
