  15. <Oh, BTW - during an interview with a local interviewer and a spanish
  16. <technician in charge of the broadcasts, he said that they were using ultra
  17. <modern techiniques, including recording the entire Olympics in HDTV.
  18.  
  19. While HDTV will be at the Olympics, none of the cameras are on-line for the
  20. world feed.  All of that is PAL (4:3).  The HDTV stuff will be used later to
  21. show off the quality of HDTV.
  22.  
  23. Though, there may be some sites where HDTV can be seen live.  It was done for
  24. the winter Olympics.  But, none of it (as far as I know) is being broadcast.
