i can't see anything on that site that shows when it will broadcast on tv...

:cry:

Click on TV listings, enter your zip code, enter what kind of TV you have.

Personally I think it's too early for the Olympics ... I haven't watched my Tour de France DVD's I made yet!!

Anybody willing to help a guy out and tape/tivo/dvd this bad boy? I'd be willing to pay a few bucks for a few hours of cycling coverage (and, also, for any and all other recorded cycling events). Trainer season is coming up way too quick, and the only videos I have are cyclocross!

I will record it on my DVR. But it's going to be in HD, so mucho GB's to deal with. I would have to compress and convert the recording first before I could offer it.

I can dub what I get, but talk to me when the dust settles in two weeks. Will be too busy recording daily.

What I'm gathering is that you can stream this online from 10p - 1:30a (Watching currently)

Normal coverage on TV is in the big 9a-5p block with event coverage at the following times:
9-9:30
11:30-12
1:30-2:30

Then again it *IS* NBC, not "VS". We shall see how much racing we actually get. Have it on the TV here at work. (Not that I'm complaining! Just being realistic about not getting 3 hours of live bike racing direct from China - now THAT would be first, eh??).

Results are in. Pictures are everywhere. TV coverage was ZIP. I didn't have my eyes glued to the TV all night, but I saw nothing.

That's sets us off to a real whiz-bang of a start! http://emoticons4u.com/sad/965.gif

Looking like the race coverage will be split up over the next 6 hours (9am to 3pm CT).

Just like the good old days, before OLN ! :D

That website sucks. :notamused:

I can't understand if you look at a particular sport, when it will air. You have to sift through the TV listings for the sport you want.

BTW, 9:00-9:30 Saturday morning will be roadrace highlights.

but i'm sure we'll see re-run after re-run of swimming and gymnastics ;)

I saw on the website something suggesting 11:00am est. Finished my 30miler just in time to get home, change, grab brunch and sit down to watch...Women's powerlifting. WTF?

Turned out up here around detroit channel 4 showed highlights more like starting 2:30 ish through 5ish pm.

Awesome bits what I did catch.

I recorded all afternoon, so I've got what ever they've shown - haven't seen it yet.

NBCOlympics.com has the highlights:

Final sprint + awards ceremony. No commentary, just sights and sounds. Runs 5 minutes.

In all fairness, it could have been seen live -on line-.
