I don't know here you are based but BBC (UK) is covering the equestrian events on the interactive channels & NBC (US) seems to have the most coverage in the States.

If you are in Canada, the channel 'bold' (a spinoff station of CBC) is broadcasting all the equestrian events.

I need to find out how it's going to work in the US on NBC with equestrian events. I don't care about the damn track and field and swimming.

Try the NBC website. It should give you the times it's playing. Probably early in the morning. And if it's not on NBC it should give an affiliate station.

I just called my provider shaw.They said you need the digital box to get bold tv.It is $12 bucks to rent for 1 month which includes all the channels free for the month or buy a box for $78 then it's $1.99 on top of your monthly bill.If you want them to bring you the box and hook up for you it's an extra $20.I'm picking up a box tomarrow.I really want to see all the action.I think I'll buy a box. This is pricing quoted to me for Victoria I imagine it's comparable to most places.

I know it is a little late but you can watch lots of events on the internet. Go to cbc.ca/olympics and click video on demand then go to equestrian. I haven't been able to watch any equestrian events on TV but you can see them all on the internet anytime.
