Olympics - Watch Anytime, Anywhere

The Games of the XXX Olympiad (or the "Summer Olympics" as we  non-Olympians like to call it!) demonstrates the amazing versatility of today's video technology. Not even the people of ancient Athens - in their wildest dreams - could have imagined the ways in which people are able to watch today's Games. 

A nationwide survey conducted prior to the Games found that 77% of Americans plan to watch at least some of the 2012 Olympic coverage, with the majority of those expecting to watch during the early evening and prime time hours. The survey also found that four in five viewers will likely attempt to catch up with events they miss, primarily by streaming on their computer or setting their DVR.
