    I've noticed people asking where they could d/l Olympic games that they missed.

    I just noticed last night that my Comcast OnDemand has nearly the entire Olympics (all events) available for replay after the broadcast. I don't have any special packages, just Basic cable. So I assume if you have Comcast you can replay the games.

    Post if any other cable or satellite providers are doing the same.

    That's somewhat redundant to my post.

    Because you first must login with your Comcast subscriber credential (or other provider), like ESPN2 online. So if you are a Comcast subscriber, then you just use your TV's On Demand instead, no? Unless you are away from your TV.

    You just noticed this last night? Looks like you got a lot of catching up to do my friend!

    The only caveat to watching full replays is that you'll have to endure tons of advertisements but they are about 15 to 30 seconds each.

    I was excited and then when I viewed a replay the resolution was like 360p. Booo...

    if you hit the gear button on the bottom right, you can change the resolution.
    Ranges from 240p - 1080p

    The only thing that sucks is that they only show the video, there's no commentary, at least with the basketball games I've watched

    Your probably right

    But its good to know that you can login with credentials from multiple providers (pretty much all the big ones)

    Honestly I prefer no commentary. It just brings you closer to the game; feels like you're a fan in the same room.
