I don't have channels 751 or 752 (the basketball and soccer channels) Are these only available on HD receivers or something?
are the swimming races going to be live or is NBC stupid enough to tape delay it?

603 seems to be Olympics central. Press the red button and you get a directory of summer games to be televised on this and other channels. Guide also allows you to search by "on today", browse by sport, medal count and Team USA Update. You also get the record button when you are in the guide.

I'm a little annoyed that the 3d Chanel for the Olympics s a day behind... I thought it would be live 3d coverage....

everyone should be getting it
The thing that p***es me off is the fact that we viewers in the USA are forced to watch nonstop commercials with our Olympics coverage. Of course that's because NBC had to pay millions for the rights to broadcast it. Yet in a lot of other countries the networks there paid very little for the coverage and the Olympics coverage is commercial free. They are picking on us and making us pay through the nose for Olympics coverage just because they can. It's unfair and it's wrong. I was talking on Skype to a friend of mine in Liberia, West Africa and he said that on the satellite service that they get there there is extensive commercial free Olympics coverage.
This was made clear back in January when the coverage terms of The Games was announced.I'm a little annoyed that the 3d Chanel for the Olympics s a day behind... I thought it would be live 3d coverage....

On the dedicated soccer channel that does not happen. In fact, the coverage on most channels hasn't been too bad with the commercials - it's just the main NBC channel that's ridiculous.Even in the soccer matches they show commercials... DURING THE GAME!
They just go to commercials in the middle of the match and then return.
And that is not common in soccer matches, the commercials are shown until the half time.
You have to have the Choice Xtra Package or higher to get 603.
