Maybe the Italian coverage is not HD and it's their cameras, not Universal's option.

ok.. who are the announcers? one of them sounds like crush (the big turtle) from finding nemo. kinda annoying.

kinda weird to watch cycling (in english) w/o ligget.

btw, mine is via ota and it doesn't look hd either. blurry.

the commentary is awful...they dont seem to know enuf history/background of the giro/riders so they fill it in with drivel

I never know what to say when that excuse gets trotted out.
Not very long ago, we didn't have the internet, smart phones,
or iPods. But we do now.

Why are you watching on TV? It's on the web live and they'll be showing lots of every stage.

What 'excuse'? It's not in HD, oh no!!! How will I stand watching it when it's not in HD???

My point is I'm not going to complain about daily coverage of the finest grand tour of the year NOT being in HD. I'm just happy to be able to see it.
