Sony. The same commercial over and over and over and over. UGH!

I had a feeling it had something to do with the advertising...there's definitely less of it on HD than on the NBC standard broadcast channel. But like you pointed out, it's the same commercial over and over again (don't want to watch gymnastics? well, how about the same commercial over and over until you crack!)
I seriously considered taking the plunge and getting a TiVO system but at this point I'm not sure whether to wait on the cable company. Comcast recently introduced their TiVO-like box, but will be another 3-4 months before one that records one channel while you watch another.
Chances are I will just go for the TiVO...but not for this Olympics.

Yes, the schedule is sometimes dreary...but some days there is more than I can watch!!
I enjoy watching some of the international feeds, as they don't focus on any one nation, but tend to balance the coverage with the "best of the best" athletes. The announcers are very knowledgable, and impartial.
While I enjoy seeing my nations athletes in competition, I also enjoy watching some of the world's best from around the globe!!
