Beijing Olympics - Opening Ceremony

[KnowItAll]

Looks like a pretty spectacular start to the Olympics. A little bit hazy, but a very good start.

Now, if the English commentators would just shutup and let us hear what was going on IN the stadium and not in their minds.

Does anyone know how to link up to TVB pearl? Do I need a separate Antenna for it?

ns78 - you might have a community antenna outlet in your living room, if you live in a recently built building.

After living several years in China, I've become quite China skeptical, but that opening ceremony was probably the best live show I've ever seen.

Artistically and technically, mind blowing ! Damn. The helicopter scene ... the scroll ... the changing colors combined with the dove ... the earth with the singer on top ...

10 out of 10!

For those who missed the flying olympics rings ... watch from around 6:50 ... one of the best parts of the ceremony, along with the footprint fireworks and the human calligraphy.

FilipH - I fully agree - 10 out of 10 .. absolutely spectacular, very aesthetic and artistic and simply put - MIND BLOWING special effects which just seemed to blend in so well with everything.

Moving07 - virtually all the free channels have the ceremonies on right now ... cant miss it.
