I was excited about seeing the Olympics in 3D, but after a week, I am disappointed.

The main problem is the timing of the broadcasts, delayed by a day, and playing from 4:00am to 6:30pm. It’s too early to watch, and during the weekdays, it interferes with work and I can’t watch it.

Oh sure, if I had a DVR, I could record it, but I don’t have a DVR on that TV.

It seems that these broadcasts are being strategically timed to not interfere with the prime time broadcasts. I’d watch more 3D if it were in prime time, but then I would not be watching NBC. So no 3D in prime time.

I have seen the opening ceremonies in 3D, after getting up at 4:00am Saturday morning. I stayed awake for over two hours, then went back to bed. When I woke up, they were repeating the ceremonies at about the point I left off. So I finished off the ceremonies and got to see Sir Paul in 3D (from a much better vantage point than the times I saw him in concert).

Today was Friday’s track and field. Not too exciting. I’ll probably watch some 3D tomorrow, but at a reasonable hour.

And then it’s back to 3D blu-rays.
