    For those in Singapore on StarHub Cable TV:

    The earliest Olympic badminton action on TV is only on Monday, 11 August :mad:

    Everyday, from 11.00pm to Midnight and from 1.00pm to 2.00pm (possibly a repeat of the previous night's show), there will be a one-hour show titled 'Today In Beijing'.

    I hope both this and the highlights package are the official capsules put together by the host broadcaster. If not, (judging by the dispatches we've seen so far from Channel News Asia's over-eager reporters) this is bound to be snippy, contrived and ga-ga-ga :(

    Channel 5
    Everyday
    Slot: 9.00am to 10.00am
    - General Highlights

    Channel 5
    Everyday
    Slot: 1.00pm to 2.00pm
    - Today In Beijing

    Channel 5
    Everyday
    Slot: 11.00pm to Midnight
    - Today In Beijing

    You can watch the live streaming at http://olympics.mediacorptv.sg
    Be warned that you will need to dowload a plug-in.
    It's called octoshape.

    On a Windows PC, the streaming is sometimes quite terrible.
    If you are using a Mac, all should be clear and well :)
