    London Olympics

    Does anyone know if the opening ceremony will be broadcast live in HK on normal tv?

    Yeah, but don't blink. It's just David Beckham driving a double decker bus through the stadium.

    A quick visit to the TVB Pearl website would tell you that its coverage starts at 3:45 am in the wee hours of Saturday morning. For ATV, no hand-holding... you're on your own.

    No its got lots of cows and morris dancers and things. The only thing that might get me out of bed is that the Sex Pistol's God Save the Queen is on the playlist.

    SLightly off topic...

    All the i-Cable Channels are broadcasting in Cantonese, even the alternate audio.

    I am sure I read somewhere that some of the channels would be broadcast in english. Anyone know? I guess it's possible that since it's just the preliminaries, the Official stuff (i.e. after the opening ceremony) will be in both.
