This wasn't available via my cable operator when the Olympics started, but 
there are now many Video On Demand Olympics offerings.  I'll catch up on the 
part of the Opening Ceremonies I missed sometime this weekend.  As my TV has 
better resolution than my computer, I am a bit pleased at this.  I have FIOS, 
and it seemed that I would have been prevented from seeing the extra content 
because I don't get internet coverage from the same provider.

Some of the segments offered are analysis, some are highlights only, some are 
just individual events.

Given the discussion we had about commentary, it seems relevant to note that at 
least some of these are commentary free.  Others have what would appear to be 
local commentators (English accents) that are sometimes hard to hear above the 
background noise. While it's nice not to hear so much talking, if you don't 
know the event, you won't get some needed context.

Many of the non-highlight segments aren't actually full matches or heats, 
cutting forward in the action (such as showing only 4 of the final shots).

Of course, your provider may have different offerings, etc.
