It’s amazing how much streaming technology has evolved since the Beijing games; I was surprised the usage numbers surpassed Beijing’s figures earlier this week. I am part of the millions who saw some of the Olympics on the go. I used the Dish Remote Access App on my iPad to catch live coverage and recorded matches on my DVR. I watched a recording of competitive canoeing on my commute to Dish, and now I can’t get enough of that sport. I am impressed by their skill and dedication to their water sport!
