Bloody ripper!

Will check my home email address when I get home to see if I got my reply. In any case, that sounds good!

Great news indeed, I certainly agree.

I better clear our my Foxtel IQ so can set it up to do some serious recording in August.

Excellent work Keefy

I don.t know how to use that linky thing, maybe Isaac can fix it up but this is the web address for the channel 7 2008 Beijing Olympic Games schedule. You have to download it from this site.

Ch 7


and this is for SBS -
SBS

(Mod: Done!)

Seven will be showing every Aussie game and will be showing some of the big games too - all the USA games, quarters, semis and the medal games for men and women.

SBS have the games they aren't showing, they have the schedule up on their website.

SBS

Are this games to be shown in full? Or just highlights?

Oden08 - Hopefully in full.

And the good news is china's timezone is similar to ours, sucked in europe and america.

SWEET!!!!

Previous olympics Australian Games have been in the guide, but I was dissapointed when they would should the first half and then cut to some other "more important event".

Or they would cut back and forth between the basketball and other events.

Lets hope it is different this olympics.

protip: much like every other major sporting event these days, all the games will be streamed one way or an other over the intertrons

how about an official venue to watch on the big screen

'Tape on IQ?' Get with the times, no one uses tape anymore.....

dey will jump ta synchronize simmin in the middle of de game ... !!! or wen is gold gold gold for aussies in swimmin !!!

When you say evening the listinbg is from 6 to 2am.
Does anyone know when in between that time the CHina USA game will be shown, and will they announce the result beofre as its a replay. Gonna be touch to watch these games not knowing result.
