Olympics Closing Ceremonies in HD? Plans? ADVERTS 1
Having been completely disgusted with NBC for their HD coverage of the Olympics (only able to see on-day-delay on local NBC-DT), I was wondering what the HD plans are for the closing ceremonies.
Will this be shown live in HD? Or will it also be one a one-day delay on my local OTA digital channel?
Anyone know?

According to the schedule - it will follow the one day delay.
It will only be available from 4-8 am EST on Monday and repeated just once from 8 am to noon.
WORTHLESS!!!! NBC did a very VERY poor job with the HD coverage - from the delay to the constant pixellation during motion.

I heard that NBC has the rights to the next winter olympics , but the HD delay broacast wont begin until the following summer.

Maybe, but like a lot of people on this list, I do not get the wonderful "Olympics channel" and am stuck getting it OTA. The OTA HD schedule is quite different from the "Olympics Channel" HD schedule, right? I tried reading through the other thread, but still don't understand why NBC elected to do this to us.
