The Winter Olympics are coming up

So the Winter Olympics are starting soon. This is my first Olympics with a PVR. Any suggestions from experienced users on getting favorites setup right to make sure I get the events I'm looking for?

Um, watch the events as they are broadcast?

Really though, the main thing I'd suggest is to make sure that if you set up an event, especially if it is an event being covered live, add some decent amount of time on the end in case of overrun of events.

Padding, Padding, Padding...

Events are notorious for running long, so you need to ensure you've got serious amounts of padding set. It's horrible watching everything except the last critical 5 minutes of an event!
