I have been watching the Olympics on TV, like most of you (NBC). It took up to last night of watching, to figure out how annoyed i was at NBC. It seemed like every 5 minutes of coverage was broken up with about 7 minutes of commercials. I specifically remember watching the womens gynmastics and they would cover 2 routines then go to SUPER LONG commercial break. They would come back and play this little side story about how this person overcame the odds when they were a kid, then go to commercial break again (long). after coming back, they would cover one routine then say "stay tuned, when we come back, its michael phelps in the 200 fly". ok - so i watch another LONG commercial break (they are all starting to look the same now). when they return, its another gynmastics routine, then - "next, michael phelps". Why are they lying about what they show next?:argue:
WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SO MANY COMMERCIAL BREAKS ON A TAPE DELAYED EVENT??? its rhetorical - because i know its their revenue.:bitching:

My neighborhood doesn't allow antennas. My U-verse tv and computer is finally working however the phones are still on the blink.
I'm dropping AT&T after the Olympics! It's fine as long as there's no problem but they don't know how to fix problems.
I didn't say you needed to put it outside. All my home made redneck antennas are indoors right next to my tv. I only tout this antenna because it is free or nearly free for just about any homeowner, and why pay for antennas to get free tv ;) Of course reasonable proximity to a broadcast station is required.
