NBC HD Olympic Broadcast Stopped?

[Guest]

The NBC HD Olympic broadcast is what it is.

There's no reason that one shouldn't enjoy as much of it as possible.

However, that doesn't negate the facts that:

1) The NBC HD Olympic broadcast is very disappointing given what I was
expecting and what it could have been.

2) If you don't have the NBC HD Olympic broadcast, you aren't really missing
anything.

At 5:00 p.m. EST today, the NBC HD Olympic broadcast stopped on our local
Tampa NBC HD feed. The local news was broadcast for one-half hour. Then, at
5:30 p.m., today's gold medal women's soccer game began broadcasting in
non-HD. What's that all about?

One of the most frustrating parts of trying to watch the HD coverage has
been the lack of a good, detailed guide to what is going to be broadcast and
when. Today's sudden dropping of the HD Olympic coverage at 5:00 p.m. simply
adds to the frustration.

Is the dropped HD broadcast just a local Tampa issue or is this happening
everywhere?

It's happening in Atlanta, too.

At 6:00 p.m., the NBC HD broadcast reverted back to the previous day
coverage of the Olympics.

Guess someone for some reason decided to take a break.

Not in southern CA. Both Los Angeles (KNBC) and San Diego (KNSD) are now (at
2am PDT) showing the closing ceremonies in HD. [I see both areas' stations.]

I think I read somewhere that Closing ceremonies would only be repeated
twice in HD. NYC is showing Saturday on the east coast at 7AM on Monday.

Oh well.............
