Thanks for posting the women’s gymnastics schedule; it’s always fun to keep track of one of the most popular sports at the Summer Games. This will help me set my recordings on my DVR; I used the Dish Remote App on my iPad to schedule a recording that I forgot about for later today. The app lets me watch live NBC coverage and view recorded matches on my DVR when I’m away from home. I watched yesterday’s primetime coverage on my commute to Dish this morning. I’ll cheering for Gabby Douglas and the rest of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team tonight!
