THANK YOU! That was great of you to post this. Best part of the Summer Olympics!

Yes, OXYGEN is on Direct TV.

 

[crponies]

Jan, I had Oxygen when I had DirecTV so you should have it. Here is the link for the events online: schedule

I am hoping to catch some things online since we don't have cable or satellite.

 

[JanBKS]

Thanks, it is 251 on Directv out of Grand Rapids, MI in case anyone else is in MI.

Yep tha's all I watch not much of a sports fan I guess.

TY

Thanks for posting this!

I don't have OXYGEN

 

[Leeana]

Is anyone watching the Opening Ceremony

 

[Willow Glen]

Stink I wish we had channels over here specially for the equestrian events, We have it slotted in every now and then so just have to read updates to find out whats happening. Go New Zealand team I heard just before that mark Todd was coming 3rd at the moment in dressage,

 

[shelly]

I have metrocast cable, is OXYGEN on it?

 

[Debd]

Thank you so much for posting this. We are watching the opening ceremonies right now and look forward to the Equestrian portion.

 

[Willow Glen]

I'm watching it at the mo 2 and the usa is walking in now. WOW there are heaps.

 

[JanBKS]

I have it on the local NBC station, but with all the commercials I must have missed USA coming in

The opening ceremoney was Awsome, now it will be fun trying to find all the horse events on the spam of channels they have them on, and of course I have basic Ditectv here so I may not get all of them

But hopefully I can catch some of them and everyone else too.

Enjoy everyone Happy watching.

Thanks for the post want to try to remember to catch Mondays cross country

 

[wildoak]

Thanks for posting - I was able to watch a good bit of the dressage last night on the computer. They televise so precious little of it that it was a treat to be able to see the entire work of several horses.

I hate to complaine but i wish that they would put the show on when we are awake and not sleeping. I think a few of us will miss out on alot because of the time they put the show on. I hope that maybe someday they will figure out something.

 

[Margo_C-T]

Well, I have DISH, and with it, the OXYGEN channel, but there's NOTHING from the Olympics there this AM. I didn't find it in my zip code on the NBC Olympics link, either.

Because of the time difference, my guess is there are a lot of events that you'd have to be staying up though the night to watch IF you want to watch them 'live'....but with tape delay, and the several choices of NBC-affiliated channels, seems to me they should be able to show most things at a reasonable hour!

Guess I'll just keep the TV on and keep checking 'manually'...with my slow dial-up, I WON'T be watching events on the computer.

Thanks for posting this. I printed out the schedule and it's on my fridge.

I watched some dressage but what I'm really waiting for is the cross country and show jumping to start!!!!!

Watched most of the opening ceremony too, wow!

 

[Kathy2m]

You can watch it all on a live feed on your computer. You have to download a player from microsoft to watch but it doesnt take long and well worth it. Here the link to the download....

Thank goodness for DVR - I have managed to watch all of the dressage (that they have shown) - what gorgeous horses. The crosscountry will be on Oxygen tomorrow (Monday night) at either 6 or 7pm depending on your time zone.
