3D Its not Blu-ray, but Panasonic and NBC are going to have over 240 hours of 3D Olympic coverage (1 Viewer)

[Charles Smith]

No idea. I only know what I'm reading here, so far. But weren't we supposed to get the 3-D broadcasts on a delay? Several hours at least, or a whole day?

 

[Steve Tannehill]

3D broadcasts are delayed by a day.
My Google-fu found this:

Times are Eastern. Looks like I will be getting up at 4:00am central to see the opening ceremonies, after all.

Or if you have a DVR, record and watch it later.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

No DVR on this set.

I have Cox Cable and it's channel 988.
Going to watch the opening ceremonies and Gymnastics/Swimming.

It was a bit of a coin flip as its really more specific to 3D.....

Oh, I see, its in the 3D bluray sub forum.
I use HTF exclusively from the main forum page. So I only saw it in the Bluray forum from there, never thinking that it might make sense in 3D Bluray more than it would TV programming.
thank you for the explanation.

[Adam Gregorich]

Ahh, yes all the threads in the BD sub forums (including this one) sho up in the main Blu-ray forum area too.

Now the question is...what's the schedule? I've googled to no avail.
I may be getting up at 4:00am to watch the opening ceremonies....in that case, no popcorn, but coffee will be required.

I'm confused 4a cst?
I thought this started at about 7:30p est

 

[Steve Tannehill]

The 3D broadcasts are delayed by a day, and start early morning.

 

[Mark Oates]

I feel like that kid next door in The Incredibles - That. Was. AWESOME!!!

 

[TonyD]

I guess the 3D must have been great because watching on regular D this ceremony stinks.
A complete bore.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

I'm watching it in 2D now. Very good. Can't wait to see it in 3D tomorrow morning.

 

[Tino]

With a few exceptions, one of the worst opening ceremonies ever. I'll check it out in 3d but my expectations have been greatly lowered.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

I like it. I just hope the 3D doesn't have as many commercial breaks.

 

[JohnS]

And this ceremony was directed by Danny Boyle.
I'm still at work, waiting to go home to watch it in 3D.

 

[Mark Oates]

Apparently NBC's ad-editing has offended by cutting out a tribute to the Londoners killed by the 7/7/2005 bombings. Can you imagine the stink that would be raised by a 9/11 tribute being pre-empted by an ad for a Happy Meal?

 

[TonyD]

Was this last night on prime time? That was all tape delay and shouldn't need to cut anything.

 

[Charles Smith]

I didn't watch the whole thing, but others have told me that certain things we're seeing now on the 3-D repeat were not there last night.

The 3-D is great, but in certain shots it's obviously closer in resolution to SD than HD. Nevertheless, well worth having. I didn't get up at frickin' 5 a.m. to watch the beginning so I'm hoping I'll be able to catch the Danny Boyle extravaganza later.

Oh, another GREAT thing about the repeat, at least on this Comcast channel: None of that annoying network voice-over commentary.

 

[TonyD]

Meredith Viera was astoundingly bad.

 

[Mark Oates]

Oh, we had a tremendously bad voice-over commentary as well. Ours spent a good deal of his time trying to spot his cousin who was one of the dancers.
