Olympics

I didn't think I was going to watch much of the Olympics, but it's addictive as always. Though I find that the video quality is not very good. I think the problem is that they are videoing everything in HD and then downgrading it to NTSC for us non-HD folks. And the result is an oversharp image. I found this particularly annoying in the men's half pipe on Sunday night. The grain of the snow was just plain nasty.

Of course, we should just go HD, but it's a lot of money to go HD on the TiVo. I wonder if, since DirecTV covers our TiVos, if we can ask for an HD upgrade. I think our big TV will handle it. But if not it looks like big HD TVs have come down dramatically in price.
