How to watch the Olympic games in 3D

NBC says it plans 242 hours of coverage from London. NBC says the coverage will be available to about 80 percent of US viewers, including just about every cable provider, the Verizon Fios TV and DirecTv. The notable missing from the list in Dish Network.

Not every Olympic event NBC is covering will be in 3D, and NBC plans a next day delay for the 3D telecasts. NBC, which is partnering with the Olympic Broadcast Service and Panasonic, plan to offer the opening and closing ceremonies, gymnastics, swimming, diving and cycling from the velodrome, and full coverage of track and field from the Olympic Stadium. NBC promises about 12 hours of 3D programming per day.

Coverage will be introduced by Bob Costas and feature both competitive highlights from the previous day as well as the best moments of the Games to-date. NBC says viewers who watch the award-winning primetime coverage on NBC will have the opportunity to go back and relive their favorite events as never before – in Full HD 3D.
Olympic Broadcasting Services will capture the Games using Panasonic’s state-of-the-art 3D production technologies and fully-integrated twin-lens Full HD 3D camera recorder products.

Broadcasts outlets include Armstrong, AT&T, Blue Ridge, Bright House Networks, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications, DirecTV, Insight, Mediacom, RCN, Suddenlink, Time Warner Cable, Verizon, and WideOpen West.
