OBS supply all event coverage for the IOC. The IOC created their own video production company in 2001 (OBS), so they can control all coverage of events at the Olympics. The first Games covered was Beijing in 2008. Yes, the commentators will be from the Caribbean but the video feed will be the same as NBC are getting.

Despite all the whiners and complainers this is a good move on the part of both companies.

Re “Responsible dog owners” comments about channel 5. I believe you’ll find that the feeds for channel 5 and 440 (PBS), and also for channel 138 (CBC) have to travel such long distances that we are at the very edge of their satellites ranges and this subjects us to poor reception if there is any kind of weather interference. You might be of the view that if that’s the case Cablevision should just close them down completely, but I would respectfully disagree. I would rather take my chances and enjoy the good days. One possible solution for you – I often tape shows from PBS several times and then choose the one with the best receotion. Just a suggestion!

They are unwatchable and unlistenable…say what you will about US coverage bias but they do have capable camera operators….watching the British Open in the UK and they have no idea where the ball is going..the Olympics will be horrible and the caribbean announcers make Wayne Furbert sound like a Prince Charles

Does anyone actually watch 9 & 7??? The evening news makes you want to destroy your TV, SSDD, some lame PLP politician with a second grade education, rambling on incoherently for 10 minutes, a three minute reprieve with the delectable Weather Babe, then some story that doesn’t make sense as the reporter speaks in convoluted tongues, all the while intertwined with advertisements of shoes, which are probably overpriced and nasty looking anyway, with an overdubbing of a diddly bop “song” at ear shattering volume.

1 Sling Box – couple hundred bucks
1 full HD subscription to TimeWarner Cable NYC – $200
200+HD channels, thousands of on-demand movies, no blackouts and bye bye Cablevision – PRICELESS

When is CableVision going to officially advise its customers as to why we are being subjected daily to pictures freezing and blackouts with no reduction on the bills we are expected to pay each month! Are they waiting for a mass exodus of subscribers before clueing us in? Enough is enough!

But we still get to watch the Olympics in Trash Definition. They did a pretty good job of ruining the last world cup, I cannot imagine how bad the Olympics are going to look.

Great, we’ll get an HD feed of stone-age cameras and some of the worst quality newscasting anyone has ever seen.

Paving the way for a more obviously lackluster Bermuda.

Will the increased price, bring a better service?

I would love to be able to watch channel 5 on a Sunday but it is regularly blacked out.

This is a major step forward for the Bermuda viewing public. It was high time that BBC and Cablevision buried the hatchet. Good news all round. Well done to all parties concerned.

Cablevision get’s a rate increase – yet BELCO dosen’t… At least when the power is out I’m not off for two whole days – unlike CABLEVISION who still charge when the service is down for two days..

Young and the Restless in High Def…..oh goody gumdrops..
Why doesnt Cablevision do something about tailing us at the end of the month for poor quality transmission and several channels being on blackout on a regular basis?
