Of international channels out there, which one is probably the best for sports coverage? I checked BBC and they aren't running a program until 8am GMT.

I'm watching German TV and 12 hours a day of TV programming aside, they stream absolutely everything live online, but it's IP locked to Germany. Also, you know, German.

I was watching the recorded video of the opening ceremonies on CBC's website while browsing the website: they don't have the commercials in the recorded video.

They get pretty loving glib about how poo poo Sochi and putin are during the commercials, in audio that I don't think they intended anyone to hear.

:v: "Man, look at how empty it is for the opening ceremonies, that is not a good sign."

:haw: "Yeah, and did you hear the deathly silence when Putin came out? :lol:"

:v: "Haha, well, I don't know, with the audio rig up here it's all..."

;-* "I had my headphones on, it was almost completely silent."

:v: :haw: ":laffo:"

:haw: "I can think of someone else who would get a pretty silent crowd. He's Canadian, eh?"

Pretty sure it was 'ol Peter Mansbridge who got the :nattyburn: on Harper. Love you Pete.

After Day 1 we're standing at 1 terrorist attack, 1 death, and even China is laughing at Russia.

Pay attention. We had an angry Ukrainian try to hijack a plane and go to Sochi who got forced down by an F16, and a torchbearer died.

Is there any evidence that was a terrorist attempt though? Sure, you're not supposed to hijack planes because you want to go to the Olympics, that doesn't mean he was planning anything nefarious!
