I'm counting down: 29 days until the Winter Olympics begin. And I'm excited. I can't wait to watch Apolo Ohno race and possibly become the most decorated American at the Winter Games. My FiOS TV DVR will be set for the women's figure skating - especially if Sasha Cohen makes the team. And there's always the fun of trying to figure out exactly how the sport of curling actually works.
If you're lucky like me, you are a FiOS customer, which means you'll get a whole lot more than just watching the Olympics on your TV set. We'll get everything from live coverage in HD; to an on-screen interactive application with medal counts, athlete bios, news and more; to highlight clips, full events and more online and on Video on Demand. By the way, there's already a bunch of cool Olympics stuff to watch on demand, with things like trivia, a countdown to Vancouver, and a chance to explore Canada's Olympic park in Calgary.
So, when Feb. 12 rolls around, make sure you have your TV set to one of the channels carrying Olympics content this year. They include NBC, USA and CNBC - all in SD and HD - as well as Universal and MSNBC. (All of our New York customers will have access to MSNBC during Olympic coverage.)
With 15 different sports, 86 medal events and 2,500 competing athletes (including over 250 Americans), we have a lot to look forward to - and FiOS will be right there to give you the best possible viewing experience.
