    Default How do you plan to watch the Olympics opening ceremony?

    It will happen on 8/8 8:08 PM (20:08) Beijing time, which is equivalent to 8:08 AM New York time, or 5:08 AM California time.

    For those of you in the US, how do you plan to watch this monumental ceremony? Will you watch it live or rebroadcast? Or perhaps on the internet? I think the earliness may be a bottleneck for watching it in real time.

    I'm in the same timezone as beijing. But I don't think I'll watch it. I never watched opening/closing ceremonies of previous olympics and I don't think I'll start now.

    I won't be able to watch it live cos of the time differences (GMT) but my parents will record it. They usually record unique events like this one.

    Actually, I've just found out that NBC will be broadcasting it at 8 PM our local time, which makes it much easier to watch with friends, which is good

    The question is what sports are you guys gonna watch? My three favorites are Gymnastics, Track and Field, and of course Bball.

    No way on Internet. On my TV. Finally getting cable so I can be a great couch potato.

    I like gymnastics too...and diving, both of which where China kicks a.ss =P

    7 a.m. for me....

    I think I'll catch whatever's on after I wake up and then watch the rest of the re-run at 6 p.m.

    I'm New York time, and I'll probably watch it somewhat close to live if I can find it on the internet.

    I'll probably catch re-runs. I'm not getting up early for this.
    Because I'm somewhere in between,

    Turns out NBC's decided to broadcast this at a later time for those on the West Coast instead of live like for the rest of the country. Mweh.

    They said it should be live for the rest of the time zones except for Pacific.

    Even you, in the middle of nowhere, get to see it live.

    But then again....the opening will be around 4 A.M. here when I'm dead asleep....

    And I was making dinner so I couldn't brb.
