With the Olympics recently over I was wondering how people from other countries view the event.

Here in the US NBC has tons of coverage. I always say I'm not watching any of it and I always find myself catching a rowing match or a game of beach volleyball.

Aired around the clock on several channels.

Never took a look.

The best part of the Olympics was that there was always something on.

Foxtel (cable TV in Australia) had 8 channels available so there was a good choice of sports to watch. The lucky people of the UK had 24 channels (one channel per event) but I was able to stream these online via an app (720p 3Mbit/sec streams) via my PC --> TV so the choice was endless.

Though after the 2 weeks it does wear you down... My highlights were the football, archery, mountain bike riding, synchronised swimming and canoe slalom. Stuff you don't usually sit down to watch...
