Warning: Soccer begins tomorrow (Wednesday)
DirecTv has a neat feature for the olympics. If you press the red button it will give you a menu of the channels and coverage!

That is real nice. But I still can't find swimming even when it shows it is on, as I like to watch them race.

The opening Ceremony was fantastic. NBC must have told its affiliates to not choke the HD bit rate because there was practically no macroblocking. And there was plenty of flashing lights and fast motion to cause macroblocking if they had tried to short us on bitrate, but very little.
