how bad is nbc olympic coverage, including scheduling, streaming, programming decisions, commentary, [View all]

etc?

I'm sure there are other threads.....didn't see any, so here goes

what bugs you the most.

I'll start with this:

basketball coverage, til today has only been on their NBC sports digital hi def channel, which many cable creeps don't carry as part of basic coverage. if you have the nbc streaming app, you can try watching it there, but the schedule was WRONG, and it it doesn't load most of the time.

the best part was that today msnbc finally had the US vs Spain, but they CUT AWAY after the first quarter and sent the game back to the digital channel. I was recording it, and at the the end of said first quarter, it was too late to see any of the game in realtime on the other channel.

that's just the main complaint. myriad others, but please add yours, from miniscule (like failing to list times of track qualifiers as they move to the next round) to egregious.

nbc, how do I hate thee? let me -- and you -- count the ways
