Good day fellow Canucks;

So here we are with the Opening Ceremonies already underway (could be over by now for all I know lol). Not a single channel here is covering it on tv.....and dood.....we have a TON of channels (ESPN etc etc).

As a result this sports junkie is now screwed (perhaps).

I know ESPN2 has been carrying online streams of CFL games from time to time, perhaps this might be the only way to go for some decent coverage (thank goodness for HDMI cables). The television feed is replaying the GB soccer game for like the 30th time since it was played last night....I wouldn't exactly call this "decent" coverage while the Opening Ceremonies are on? (maybe it's just me lol)

Hopefully a few of us here have already been through the ringer on an issue like this and have suggestions for online viewing and / or a tv channel that will pick things up in real time?

It won't let me hook online into TSN or the CBC right now either. Perhaps a 5 second blurb on the news is all we gonna see on it.

Please save my American wife from having a crazy dood running around making funny faces wondering what the heck is wrong around here :P

It's really annoying - I can't even listen to it on BBC radio. Looks like I am going to have to wait until 7.30 when NBC are showing it.

That's not the news I was crossing my fingers on lol......anyhow, thanks for the info on it.

I'm sure NBC/CBS/ABC etc will have coverage during the day when all of the events are running....but my question concerning the missing Opening Ceremonies has me wondering what the ______ (insert expletive there) is going on :P

Money I guess. They want to show it on at peak time to maximise advertising revenue probably.

They are most likely going to replay the opening ceremonies on NBC in the evening..

That they are!!! Here as well.....http://atdhenet.tv/index.html

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
