| 698949 | 2008-08-21 05:13:00 | www.nzherald.co.nz This concerns mainly the windsurfer race which was on during the 6pm news. What I thought was funny, that the race had just finished in the background with Peter Williams saying we well have the results for you later then they switched back to the TVNZ news. I think Wendy Petre had a funny look on her face when they went back to her, as I think she thought they would of stayed with the Olympics. Well done TVNZ again. :( I would totally disagree about TVNZs coverage. I think it has been fantastic, and the best it has very been. Far better than the last olympics, as well as sydney, when it wasn't all that good. So what if TVNZ one didn't show the 'live' end of the race, it was shown on the other freeview channel and online, and it happened during one news, which makes things more difficult for them. We are getting it all for free too(well paid for by our taxes). People complaining makes it more likely to go to a pay network next time. I wouldn't be surprised if TV3 and Sky are behind the compliants either. |

Unless Prime goes on the Freeview service there will be a lot of people who will miss out next time. Even then it will be delayed on Prime. If you want to watch live and in HD then you will have to pay. |

| 698953 | 2008-08-22 00:36:00 | I think the coverage has been pretty good, considering its free on the net too, a few hiccups, Im just finding the olympics this time quite...boring. Only the hissy fit by the wrestler has been funny and the poor weightlifter... They even had a tribute segment to the american swimmer... they made him sound like a god, that made me stop watching for a few days. |
