I've been watching Channel 82 for some of the Olympics from NBC 4 New York. Actually I didn't watch the Olympics I just checked for the Heck of it and it's on.

82 is on here in KC too. Also happy to get Universal HD for the Olympics without subscribing to the HD Extra Pack.

On here in Jacksonville as well. Kinda of weird since we're not O&O.

This has been done before. The Super Bowl, for instance. Fox national HD was turned on to cover markets that did not have local Fox HD or if the local HD went bonkers. This is a network thing. NBC is allowing it.

Just went out at midnight, even when the network is running long.

 

[shaner2000]

yeah, i think 82 was on here in austin because the local hd feed was having issues.

 

[waynebtx]

Was getting 82 here in south texas.

 

[DodgerKing]

As are we in CA.

If this is a way to get the Olympics live to West coast folks, I'm all for it. It's annoying watching the coverage now, the announcers talking about Michael Phelps going for gold Live, when I already know what the result it.

Not getting the feed this morning back to channel not purchased

 

[Msguy]

well the scrooge's at the NAB really mess things up. It's a shame that we can't subscribe to Distant Network Service if we want to. It's a shame we can't get other cities local channels if we wish to pay a fee to get them.
