I figured I'd just program it to grab the over-the-air HD signal

I'm probably in a minority here, but the Olympics really don't interest me that much. I'll watch the cycling events, the triathlon, maybe some of the rowing events (notice a pattern here? Any sort of mechanized transport interests me) but that's about it.

On a whim, I asked my TiVo to just list all of the Olympics coverage that the local NBC affiliate was showing over the next two weeks. I think it came up with something like 43 programs or segments -- and 32 of them featured volleyball in one form or another.

WTF?
