Tomorrow Telemundo is broadcasting both the Italy v. Honduras and Ivory Coast v. Argentina matches, yet I get conflicting information on wheather these games are being broadcasted live or not... NBC.com and www.livesoccertv.com (http://www.livesoccertv.com) both say the matches will be broadcasted live, yet comcast's lineup along with www.tvguide.com (http://www.tvguide.com) say the matches will be (delayed broadcast) later tomorrow morning (if your on the West Coast)... I really need to figure this out so I can decide which matches I want to record and what times to set my DVR??

Thanks!

??? Now I'm even more confused... NBC states:

"Honduras v. Italy (LIVE ET/CT)"
"Ivory Coast v. Argentina (LIVE ET/CT)"

Yet there is no mention of Pacific time which is where I am located... this might be why the games are being delayed broadcasted on the Pacific coast later than the live feeds of Eastern and Central America... Does this sound correct??

Olympic coverage is LIVE in the ET/CT time zones and tape delay in the MT/PT time zones - its too make it convienent for you and not make you out west have to get up early or rush home from work to watch the stuff thats on in primetime in the east.
So the United States-Japan game will be on at 4:55 am PT and not 1:55 am PT.

Your right - I was misinformed - the article where I saw the info that I posted has now been edited and it now saids something similar to what you posted above.

Telemundo's Olympic coverage in the Pacific Time Zone is TAPE-DELAYED by 3 hours on weekdays, but is live on weekends.
