Managed to see a blue plane with sparklers (like it was on fire) going over the stadium earlier. It looked spectacular!

Looks interesting. It's tonight right, the opening ceremony?

Yupo, starting on channel 4 at 8 and the actual ceremony starts at 8:30 with a flyby which I think what I recorded was part of it.

I had no idea he was so old! 70, found that out earlier today.

Commentators need to turn off their mics. The echo is annoying me.

I was just trying to figure out why the audio was so garbled. You'd think they would know this would happen.

Nice one channel four, sound is all over the place between live feed of music and not using the direct feed so we have put of sync sound.

Good to see that they have kept those LED pixel things. Hope they get put to good use.

Channel 4 is making a total hash of this sound. Argh.

I thought it was just me haha

Firestar_3x · 29 Aug 2012 at 20:40

If only the BBC covered these 11 days... Oh well.

This looks and sounds rather good.
