    The USA's first three Olympic qualifiers will be on the Universal Sports Network. TimeWarner cable doesn't offer that channel. If someone who has Universal Sports Network can record the games, I would like to trade for those DVDs. My web site is: www.DaveBrett.com

    The games are also going to stream live on the Universal Sports Nework web site, and I have software that can record a live stream on the internet. But the picture quality is a little better if it is recorded off a regular broadcast, so I would like to get DVDs from that source. Here is the schedule of the games:

    Update: Someone who has Universal Sports Network is going to be sending me DVDs of all the USA's Olympic qualifiers. As far as I can tell, Universal Sports Network got taken off all cable systems at the start of the year. The only people who get this channel are people who have DirectTV.

    To be correct, Universal Sports Net pulled themselves off all over-the-air (OTR) broadcast systems on Jan 1, to go strictly as a cable-satellite digital platform. The Detroit station that was carrying US Network actually pulled their affiliation three months early, going to a group called Antenna TV (Bewitched - Get Smart - Monkees reruns).

    Of course, the big puzzling thing... how a network owned by Comcast-Universal-NBC not be on Comcast X-whatever-they're-called cable.

    Maybe they could re-brand it as "NBC Sports Network 2" or "NBC Sports College."

    Isn't bidding for future Olympics up for grabs. If NBC loses the Oly's, this channel could go to the scrap heap, or get re-purposed as a non-sports channel, (but Comcast-NBC-Universal does have a glut of channels after the merger, as it is), or possibly merged with Golf Channel.
