Is it just me or is the Olympic coverage terrible? Even trying to use directv's Olympic guide, I've yet to see an entire legitimate event live. The actual NBC channel switches events every 15 minutes, so one minute it's equestrian and the next minute you miss something you wanted to see.

Then all the secondary channels rarely show what the guide says should be on. I was actually excited about the Olympics this year, but have barely seen anything worth watching yet.

The time difference is screwing it up. NBC spent a lot of money to air the Olympics and I don't blame them for saving it until prime time to maximize the return. Too bad for them that everything is splashed on the World Wide Web as it happens. I stay away from any sports during the day to watch the stuff at night. I did watch the Basketball game live today,.

The whole nation is talking about how terrible NBC's Olympic coverage is. And it's not just the time difference as someone else said.
