I liked the 06 Winter Olympics in HD, because on the HD channel, it hardly had any commercials unlike the normal SD channel. Also showing all the Scenery all over in HD, that was almost worth watching even more. At least to me. I hope the Scheduling of Events is worked out better though. Plus this time I have a Dual HD Tuner, so I can just let it record and then FF though all the garbage I don't want to sit though this time. I hated when I wanted to watch the 1 Main event that was suppose to be on, and yet I had to set though 10 others during the program also that I didn't want to watch. Can't they have say Speed Skating at one time all at once for a Hour, and then Next Hour something else, and the Next hour something else, etc. With many people having DVR's, you can pick and Record the Parts of the Olympics that your Interested it and not have to bother with the stuff your not. With the Major Draw events played during prime time hours and the much less popular events at 4AM or whatever. With a DVR you can record it, and for those that don't have one, at least the Popular events are during prime time.
The way they did it last time was just so annoying. It's like wanting to watch a Football Game, and every 10 minute or so, start showing a Drama for 5 minutes, back to the Football for 10 minutes, then a different Drama, and of course between all that, Commercials. Really, WHO WANTS THAT??? I want to watch the Football game and could care less with all that DRAMA Show garbage.
