In Australia, the Games are being shown on Channel 9, which so far is doing a rather mediocre job. So much is not shown. Australia is converting to digital TV and as a result, the networks now have multi-channels. My question is, WHY ISN'T CHANNEL 9 USING THEM?! We get maybe 8 hours a day and tomorrow we are only getting 5. They cross to the ice hockey when a goal is scored, but I am yet to see a full game. In Torino, it was on Channel 7, which devoted almost all of its airtime to the games and each day finished with a full hockey game.

I hope it gets better, but if not I will be writing an angry letter. Seriously, this is the first time an Olympics has been on 9 and they are doing a terrible job.

They could easily use the multi-channel system and show EVERYTHING, so why don't they? It's infuriating!

NBC is pulling off the two hour delay here to keep their normal schedule. It gets annoying as I'm used to watching most of my shows at the same time as the West Coast. The exception are shows meant for late night.

In Singapore, Channel 5 only broadcast highlights of the Vancouver Winter Games. I didn't watch it as I have no interest in the Winter Games. It didn't broadcast the whole Opening Ceremony I believe.

ESPN doesnt cover the games Blake. Only shows updates. As for us we get full coverage from NBC. And updates from about every other station

There are 4 dedicated channels on Fox Sports on Foxtel, which is cable, but I don't have that.
