Anyone else watching Olympic figure skating?

NBC kinda sucks for Olympic coverage.

Canada doesn't have its own broadcasting for the games?

NBC isn't too bad as far as corporations that have hosted the Olympics go, they've got 4 channels on basic cable (NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC) and use them all to show different events, letting you watch more than just the highlights of a few specific happenings. I was going back and forth between Canada vs. Italy for Women's hockey (not a very even matchup, but oh well) on MSNBC and the skiing/luge on NBC this afternoon. During the summer games in Athens, they usually had all 4 stations showing something and quite a bit of it was live (if you stayed up to 3am you could watch the morning events), which was a nice change from what other channels have done. I enjoyed being able to watch a lot of the events that aren't normally shown as parts of the highlights due to things like time restrictions (a lot of the diathalon events) that would have just simply been shortened to a 2 minute highlight on other stations.

Their camera quality is rather lacking though, and it's easy to tell they only want you to watch on an HDTV (having scorecards going off the screen of your 4:3 tv so you can't read them is pretty annoying).
