I couldn't remember that. Thanks for the correction, which allays my concerns. The one thing that would be a nice-to-have would be the ability to time-shift online (if a competition starts at noon, you can tune in at 1:00 PM and watch it from the beginning) or watch a competition online after it takes place.

For the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament, people without cable could pay $3 for access to all the games if they didn't have cable. I thought that was a spectacularly wonderful idea, and one that could be implemented. I think NBC still has the shakes whenever anyone mentions buying Olympic coverage, but really: the Triplecast was a disaster for a number of reasons, none of which are still in play now. -- TV or Not TV ....
