NBC offers 416 hours of Olympics in HDTV
Hope you have 17.3 days of
free time next month because that's how long 416 hours is. NBC announced that much high-def
coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games from Torino, so we're already looking for a few spare terabytes of storage on
our WMCE PC. If you just have to plan
your calendar events in advance, you might as well jot "Busy" from February 10th to the 26th for the games.
Stock on up spare remote batteries too since you'll be flipping between NBC, USA, MSNBC, and CNBC. Given that NBC is
currently the only high-def channel in that lineup, you might be able to park your HDTV there for the live HD simulcasts in 5.1
Surround.

What about Universal HD? Yay for the simulcast this time!

Awesome, I was wondering if it was going to be in HD, and it sounds like a lot will be. I'm looking forward to it :)

Should I bring my sleeping bag, or do you have a spare room for me?

Time to make sure your plasma won't get burn in.

I just hope they get their program guide right. Last Summer, they butchered it when all they did was loop 6 hours with no detailed programming information. In order to find the show I wanted I had to record the six hour chunk (gee.. that used a bit of disk space) and skim through just to find that the six hours I recorded didn't have anything interesting.
