xpablo Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Like 8 AM on the east coast and 5 AM on the west? It not really a technology thing. live would've been 7:30am EDT and 4:30am PDT , hardly not a good time to get ratings. I watched all the live HD feeds BOB (Beijing Olympic Broadcaster ???) from Beijing on satellite in HD was awesome, NO Commentating and NO Commercials, it was just like being there, I watched a lot more of the olympics this time than I ever did before. All I can say is womens gymnastics never looked so good :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/651475-2008-summer-olympics-in-beijing/page/13/#findComment-589694898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted August 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 24, 2008 So what?I WOULD Watch it! Hell... time mean nothing to me! Many people would also watch it if it's LIVE! Even at these hours! Like I said, if that time is inconvient (Which I can understand), then just do an Encore at Primetime, like there is anything else better to show on TV anyways? The OC and CC probably BEST thing to watch on TV now days! ...The OC? Are you female?

spenser.d Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Again, do an Encore at Primetime again. Problem about ratings... = Solved Except they can probably get better ratings by showing normal morning programming that people are used to and just waiting til primetime to show the Olympics. You're just being selfish. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/651475-2008-summer-olympics-in-beijing/page/13/#findComment-589694916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a bid for 2012 and I think NBC will win, I think Fox and CBS were in the last bid. "The OC and CC probably BEST thing to watch on TV now days!" :x JediXAngel I dont know what to say... I will say NBC did good with http://www.nbcolympics.com/. The silverlight video was good even with my connection.

SuperJediMedia Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The Office? How I Met Your Mother? Top Gear? It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Scrubs? Even so (But I don't watch them myself) NONE of them air in the Morning anyway. Mostly, Primetime are just filled with repeats of these shows during the summer, anyhow.

Doli Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Looking at the closing ceremonies and the dancers for the UK are ok. I like how they even used two people in wheelchairs... until I saw one of them get up and start walking :huh: :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/651475-2008-summer-olympics-in-beijing/page/13/#findComment-589695720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 yeah i was noting that to my mom and sis..he guy was dancing! i thought that was in bad taste. it's like they didn't REALLY want a person in a wheelchair to represent. BTW i'm officially announcing these Olympics as a non-event because the fuwa were completely discarded for no reason. the fuwa have always been, are and always will be a part of the Beijing Olympics and i will troll anyone who says otherwise till kingdom come.

neoadorable Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 yes, the fuwa, look at them, look at how sweet they are, what kind of dark hearted goblin is even capable of throwing them into the dustbin of history without so much as a word?

Besides the orange fuwa they are the same color as the olympic rings which represents a continent. Orange is just filling in for yellow.

Matrix XII Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I really enjoyed these Olympics. I didn't really plan on watching much of them, but I could hardly pull myself away from the TV the entire time. The one thing I hate about the Olympics though is that now we have to wait another four years :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/651475-2008-summer-olympics-in-beijing/page/13/#findComment-589704498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kralik Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 For me the best athlete of the games was Yelena Isinbaeva.. the girl materialises believing in dreams and know your are the best.. nothing is impossible to her.. a true inspiration..
