I pick it up off the local NBC affiliate. NBC is running a really weird schedule. The opening ceremonies are being rerun several times today again continuously. Tomorrow they pick up swimming & some other stuff. Its almost like they do not have the ability to run live HD, but need time to edit & possibly transmit it to the US maybe? The audio is a little schizoid on the opening ceremonies. For the first part it was in 5.1, but then later it was stereo or 5.1, flip flopping at will it seemed. Time Warner may be cutting the bandwidth by adding some additional compression.
While I would have liked the whole ceremony to be of the same broadcast quality as the opening, I was just thunderstruck by the event and the capturing thereof. That central pool of water was huge & the engineering/artisticness of the sculpture flying apart was beautiful done.
