    Angry 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.

    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.

    The HD feed is identical regardless of where you get it.

    The HD feed is identical no matter how you get it.
