I realize that and it kind of pisses me off. Also my OP was in reference to them replaying the same commercial all the time.

Heisenberg, I was watching it in my room, where else? ;)

Apparently there's a 1 day delay for the HD feed. They've been talking about it at avsforums since january.

You wanted to patronize a company whose ethics would make Nixon shudder and purchase a tv with about an 80% chance of dying within 2 years?

That's not the only thing wrong with the HD feed. The majority of the events aren't even broadcast in HD. It's just the same event(s) replayed throughout the day. Sure it looks nice as hell but it'd be nice if there were at least a few more events (maybe a few basketball games b/c we're doing so well).

Yeah, I saw some HD Olympic swimming coverage on NBC while I was walking through the TV section at Sears. Impressive! I'm not buying until I can get a 46" flat screen LCD for under $2,500, though :)
