The online coverage is amazing. 4 events at once, and you can swap between which one gets the larger screen amongst the 4.

I have no idea what sport I'm watching right now. Handball maybe? It just says Prelims in the header.

One of the relatives of the US volleyball coach was stabbed and killed by a random Chinese man who then committed suicide.

C.C. where are you dude? The world's most incredible HDTV just rolled out on the floor of that stadium!

 

I want it!

 

Dude...Wow!

 

 

The whole opening looked fantastic in HD. Incredible colors.

Bob Costas: "They should retire the trophy for best Opening Ceremonies"

 

It was pretty unbelievable, and Vancouver/London have no chance of matching it.

 

FYI, the stadium floor had a 500' x 70' LED video surface

Badminton and Handball have been on TV thus far.

 

I feel like I'm watching ESPN10.

 

Women's volleyball is also on. Excellent.

The woman beach V-Ballers on USA-HD have amazing bodies.

I didn't realize they were on right now. I've been watching the women's indoor volleyball team against Japan.

 

Heather Bown is not only good looking, she's also really good. And this is a terrific match - very competitive so far.

For people that have DirectTV go to USA-HD. Press the run button on the remote and it gives you some pretty cool features.

I'm not on a Mac so I can't be of much use. It's running on Microsoft Silverlight, does it ask you to install that?
