Just got this set to me. This will help us follow our Euros during the Olympics..... With three Trail Blazers – Nicolas Batum (France), Victor Claver (Spain) and Joel Freeland (Great Britain) - competing in the Olympics, here's a cheat sheet on how and when to watch them play, along with Team USA's schedule and a few other notes.

Look what the HCP just found FAMS! Comcast Ch. 895 is all basketball! Ch. 896 is all soccer as well. Don't know if dish or direct has this or not.
There is a channel on comcast in the 800's that is dedicated to Olympic basketball. There is also another just for soccer.
I think the Blazers should retrofit the RG with those LEDs around the arena. Introductions etc would be AMAZING!!
I'm interested to watch more of Brazil to catch Huertas. He really impressed me in his friendly against team USA, but that's really the only time I've seen him in international play. I'm also interested to see what Nando de Colo looks like for France. He's coming to the Spurs next season, so hopefully for any Western Conference team's sake, he's not better than advertised. I hate having to DVR the Team USA games though, because the next day I have to be very careful around the internet and tv. It's not like DVR'ing a tv show. If Team USA comes close to losing, I know I'll find out about it beforehand in some way. Even if I make sure not to go online, turn on tv, or check texts, I'll happen to run into someone in the morning that'll spoil it for me. On the flip side, DVR'ing games is good when you're trying to catch your team's prospects or current players. I'm glad we'll be able to see more than just Team USA this year. I'm going to be DVR'ing all of Spain's games to see M. Gasol in action, as I'm sure a lot of you will to see Claver.
He played garbage time committed 3 fouls in what seemed to be 10 seconds, shot an air ball, and generally looked bad
