I find NBC’s commitment to the Olympics to be great simply because they are going all out. My TiVo informed me that we now have an Olympic Soccer and Olympic Basketball channel, in HD no-less, as well as the coverage on NBC HD, USA HD, Universal HD, CNBC HD and I think there’s some other ones as well… Bravo maybe?

Combine this with their website and the Olympics On The Go site for Windows Media Center users and there’s just a myriad of ways to watch the different events going on!

I have to recommend the Men’s 4×100 freestyle if you didn’t catch that and the highlights of the USA vs China basketball game to get a taste of the pain that the "Redeem team" is going to inflict this year.

Top gear top tip: When you pick a video, make sure to click the "Enlarge Player" option because that’s how you get access to the Picture-in-picture, highlights and "live video control room" which really make it easy to keep track of your particular sport.
