    Anyone else having problems with NBC's HD coverage of the Olympics?

    I record the analog station and attempt to watch HD. If the HD messes up (and it has quite often), I switch it over.

    Messes up for me too...for long stretches.

    WTF is up w/ that? We haven't been having any problem with any HD channels for months.

    Absolutely horrible. Is it just Time Warner or is the satellite feed bad as well?
    How about OTA (Over The Air) ?

    I called Time Warner and the message said that Channel 312 (NBC in Houston) was out or having problems.
    I believe this is NBC's HD Feed, because all my other HD channels are great including the Alternate HD Olympic coverage on The Universal HD channel, Channel 293.

    I only get the UHD broadcast in HD....freaking womens hockey is always on.

    Also, I woke up this morning, checked espn.com and breaking news with Olympic Results on the front page :mad: :mad: No point in watching today since I know what's going to happen.

    They should put that crap on a different page or at least warn people.

    i am not sure what it could be, but it seems at least to me that nbc isnt broadcasting the olympics as high as they possibly could in HD. CBS/ABC/FOX sports hd broadcast look a lot better to me. Maybe it could be the type of sports i am watching on NBC but i too use an antenna and no problems so far.
