    Yeah, I think there will be no commentary for all the games.

    By the way NBC Olympic soccer channel still shows nothing but a black screen for me even though there are 3 soccer matches being played as I type this.
    Gotta love Time Warner! :rolleyes:

    Need help in finding Olympic Soccer/Basketball Channels in Ann Arbor, Michigan area.

    I called Comcast, got no help from them.

    Thank you

    Go to Nbcolympics.com, click on listings, punch in your zip code and then choose your provider. It will tell you what channel number it is.

    Just bear in mind that the Olympic Soccer Channel is only available in HD, so if you don't have HD service, you'll have to find the game mixed in with other programming on the regular channels... as I unfortunately found out this morning after DVRing a blank screen. :-(

    So today during the women's matches I noticed that NBC had "brief" commercial breaks during the run of play... this was a little annoying! Where these commercial breaks also on the Olympic Soccer Channel??
    What do you all think about these "limited commercials"??

    There weren't any breaks on the OSC. They had minute-long segments or so at the half, but nothing other than that.

    I'd like to say bravo to NBC for their Olympic soccer channel. I got up this morning to watch the Argentina-Nigeria game in its entirety, seeing the game without knowing the results ahead of time and not having to stay up past my bedtime (sorry, I have to get up early every day and midnight start time just didn't work for me).

    NBC Universal is going above and beyond in its coverage of the men’s and women’s soccer tournaments at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.For cable customers with digital service, NBC is presenting two new channels offered for the duration of the Olympics: One features only Olympic basketball, the other only Olympic soccer.
