Quoting steve harley <[email protected]>:
this is my fourth Olympics with TiVo; we got TiVo and cable for the
2000 games, and soon realized cable wasn't worth it but TiVo was …
so for 12 years just about all the TV i've watched has been on time
delay, Olympics included, and i've given up on avoiding spoilers i
get a lot of news from elsewhere than TV, e.g. RSS feeds from BBC
and NZ Herald plus (**do not click if you don't want spoilers!**)
this:
<http://olympics.newsriver.org>
the problem with avoiding spoilers (in general) is that you can't
celebrate or gasp in horror with the rest of the world
I guess I'm just not enough of a sports fan to care about spoilers.
In fact - I prefer them.
If the result isn't what I would have liked, I don't need to watch a
replay. Case in point - the recent British Open Golf.
If it is, I can watch the exciting bits selectively.
As for the Olympics - I lost interest years ago. The amount of public
money that gets sunk into over-pampered 'elite' sportspeople in search
of 'gold' is sickening, especially when they don't have to repay it
(unlike university students who do). Of course, I'm talking from an
Australian perspective. It may be different elsewhere.
