Just Sharing This BBC Red Button Olympics update

Olympic opening ceremony on NBC is absolutely disgraceful. Delayed by 1 hour and interrupted by "messages" every 3 minutes. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Give me back any European TV channel...

Nothing is done in 1080i. It's just a "stupid" TV format.Certainly, the production is at least in 1080p.

Whilst the national commentators for every other country managed quite fine and their citizeens understood the context of the live pictures quite nicely??
 
This morning's BBC2 replay of the opening ceremony seemed to cut a selected number of countries out or did I fall asleep?o_O
 
On a general note, watching the Brazil transmissions and lots of smiling people is quite a fresh breeze (in spite of any doping, IOC money movers or local troubles). And compared to the Death Olympics from Syria regularly seen on tv, the Brazil arrangement is heaven.
