Dish's coverage is delayed voom is live
dish's coverage comences at 10 pm pacific friday, on channel 9425. Voom's coverage kicks in at 5 pm pacific time, so aren't we better off. VCOM rocks. We are getting threee channels of coverage via retransmission so we don't need to rely on our OTA antennae. Voom is providing much better coverage. We are even getting an NBC sd feed on one of the three channels for free. The HD feed of the opening ceremony i just found out starts at 6 pm they are showing highlights of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics on 321 as of 5 pm for the next hour.
I am getting 321 in Santa MOnica and the NBC west coast feed from San Diego on 594 in SD, so not bad

None of the DBS providers are starting until 1 AM EST. This is probably because the time zone conflict with the west coast people, which sucks, but oh well. I wish they could just blackout the west coast folks until the 1 AM showing instead
It looks like I can see 321 NBC HD
Few days ago I called VOOM and asked representative if I will be receiving
Olympic HD feed on 321. She said that I will not be receiving this channel because I can get OTA NBC HD coverage. I explained to her that I'm not getting a single OTA channel because of the surrounding hills, but she replied that they don't have control over it as it was NBC's decision. But now 5.10 plm PST, 50 minutes before start of taped Opening Ceremonies I can see Olympic recap programm on 321, hopefully I will be able to see the opening too.

I'm in the Washington DC O&O DMA. HD channels 4.1 (OTA) and 321 (VOOM) look and sound identical, but SD channels 593 & 594 are offline. Hmmm. I read this Forum, received the VOOM e-mail and even received a cryptic letter in the mail today regarding VOOM/NBC coverage of the Olympics this month...still don't understand what's going on. 
It looks like I picked the wrong day to quit drinking coffee!!!
Is channel 321 a direct feed from NBC or is it a remap of my local O&O station?
Anyway, I'll just go with the program and figure things out as I flip between the stations....while I make a pot of coffee!

Don't Panic they are showing coverage on MSNBC, Bravo, CNBC
All you guys that are freaking out about coverage, check out www.nbc.com and go to Olympic page. Majority of coverage will be on MSNBC, Bravo, CNBC, as well at NBC local channel. So you can still watch live coverage of like say rowing, tonite on MSNBC at 1 pm pacific. They are showing al lot of games and events on NBC sister channels. Also if you have an antennae your local NBC station will be broadcasting NBC digital, so you don't have to get the signal from voom. Happy viewing

Olympic sound on OTA vs. channel 321
Hi:
I am near NYC getting channel 4-1 OTA and the same HD broadcast on channel 321. Both channels are registering as dolby 5.1 on my receiver but channel 4-1 has no sound coming from the surround and rear channels. Channel 321 has sound in all channels. Can someone in NY/NJ/CT confirm this?
Thanks,
Joseph

What am I watching on channel 321?
Is this the Winter Olympics we are watching? Lots of Ice Skating and all the athletes all are winter athletes.
Ahh never mind I just figured it out. That was just a warm up. Now the Athens opening is on.
