Brazil, you call that a judo team? We'll show you how it's done. Yeah that's right, it's Olympics time and your country is going down. We've kept an eye out for Olympics coverage around the world, but feel free to let us know in the comments how you're checking out the Games for any we've missed (not that we care - we're too busy keeping up with the U.S. Even if you are, our friends at TV Squad may be able to help you get a different viewpoint on the games.)? As mentioned previously, there's always YouTube, but if grainy stuttering clips aren't your style, there's a fair chance you local broadcaster is geared up for the Olympics as well. Sure there's always the $49.98 JVC SXXSW6000, but for a few extra dollars you can always grab a Sony STR-DG920, for a $600 MSRP, paired with any decent set of surround speakers should suffice not only for Olympic glory, but true home theater enjoyment with Blu-ray discs, videogames, or anything else you'll be watching in 2008 or beyond. NBC's promising 5.1 channels of audio production for the entire Games, so to make sure you hear the excitement of victory or the agony of defeat properly, you'll need a surround sound system. Expect Universal HD to swap between simulcasting anything on MSNBC or CNBC so plan DVR schedules accordingly. MSNBC, Oxygen and Telemundo are also covering the games, albeit in SD. Whether it's cable, satellite, fiber or DSL-based, expect some combination of Universal HD, USA HD, and CNBC HD+ in your channel lineup, plus dedicated channels for basketball and soccer. The main NBC feed means getting only one part of the high definition games that will be broadcast this year. With NBC's plan for a "complete Olympics", while going rabbit-ears only will certainly work, we don't recommend it.
