Olympic-sized coverage
I remember watching Lionel RIchie perform at the 1984 L.A. Olympics closing ceremony. I saw it on an old television with rabbit ears. In contrast, this Olympiad offers unparalleled coverage with more than 2900 hours of programming on multiple networks, web and mobile, many of them in HD.

NBC Universal has broadcast many of the last few Olympiads and its coverage gets broader and grander each time. This year there are more viewing options than ever before. In fact, this year’s coverage if greater than all the previous summer Olympics combined.
If you have HDTV, you can watch via Universal HD. In addition, some areas are offering a special basketball-only channel and soccer-only channel. Ah the beauty of HD. Past games offered a handful of events broadcast in HD, but this year’s games will be totally shot and broadcast in HD (for those with reception).
So with all this coverage, there is even more chance to see your favorite inspirational stories (my favorite part!), live finales, and all your favorite sports, however obscure or more obscure.
With TIVO or DVR you can program your recorder to capture every possible moment of your favorite events.Â
If you can’t wait to be home to watch on your t.v., this year’s Olympics also offer unprecedented mobile coverage. You can get alerts, check out the website, view live TV or see video all from your mobile device. Â
I know where I’ll be every night.
