I haven't looked at the original source, but just going by what seems reasonable, these are surely the local times in China. If they were USA hours, that would mean all the players, refs, officials, and fans in China were staying up all night long.

[ladeda]

The schedule provide must be local times in China because it comes from the Offical Olympic China Site...after converting the times to HST and comparing them to my local TV schedule I'm finding that I'll be watching tape delayed events most of the time.

Example is the first match vs Japan...10 pm Beijing 4 am Honolulu yet my local TV guide says 8 am HST.

I'm sticking with the Beijing times.. converting to HST then looking for other live sources like CCTV. Also FIVB should have Live Scoreboard as they did in 2004.

Here is a tool I use for Time Zone conversions it will come in handy during the Olympics.

Ladeda makes a great point. Based on past experience, I would recommend that if anyone really wants to see a match, you should look online for a live international feed from CCTV, RAI, LoLa, Guangdong Sports, etc. USA television tends to schedule several sports into general blocks of time and then change the order and length of matches depending on editorial/producer decisions.

[GatorVball]

From the NBC schedule, it appears as if most, but not all the indoor volleyball matches involving the US will be aired live.

Women
Match 1 vs. Japan, live on NBC
Match 2 vs. Cuba, live on NBC
Match 3 vs. Venezuela, on NBC, appears to be taped
Match 4 vs. China live on MSNBC
Match 5 vs. Poland, on NBC, appears to be taped


Men's
Match 1 vs. Venezuela, Live on NBC
Match 2 vs. Italy, Live on NBC
Match 3 vs. Bulgaria, on NBC, taped
Match 4 vs. China, on NBC, taped
Match 5 vs. Japan, Live on NBC

[ladeda]

I'm not counting on it being live here.

Example is the Japan match. It takes place at 10 pm in China 4 AM in Hawai`i but is shown in our TV guide as being Live starting at 7:30 am which is impossible because it will already be over.

[Nutter]

CBC will be broadcasting live, unlike NBC who will be packaging some of the events for broadcast during primetime. I'm hoping CBC might show some matches live, but since none of the Canadian teams made it, I'm not holding a candle. Think I'll check the other online sources.

[ladeda]

Found the TV program guide for CCTV looks like they are using many of their channels for the Olympics. They have the Japan match listed on their Channel 2 for those who may not be near a TV check the CCTV's online stream.

Live Times
10:00 pm China
4:00 am Hawai`i
7:00 am West Coast
8:00 am Mountain
9:00 am Central
10:00 am Eastern

For Hawai`i check MSNBC @ 4:00 am they show volleyball along with several other sports it could be the Japan match because the time fits if that is early for you they show it again on NBC KHNL at 7:30 am.

You stole this from Yogi Berra, admit it.

[volleysean27]

Unless is Beach Volleyball, NBC is not going to broadcast it live

[OverAndUnder]

Make them all wear bikinis and suddenly we'd be on prime time.
