I like the look of these apps, but since they’re only good for 2 weeks I'll be sticking with my free Dish Remote Access app. It works with my Sling Adapter, and when a Dish coworker told me I could take all my live TV AND my DVR with me on the go I was hooked. I work crazy hours, AND there's a time difference for the Olympics, so this app is great for giving me the opportunity to catch all the action no matter where I am!

Great apps! Watching the opening ceremonies I was also curious about where some of those countries even are. So far I've had success learning them with the app JigSaw Geo (Here's a link to the "World" app; there are regional versions too: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jigsawgeo-world/id504152346?mt=8), seems to be kid-friendly. And it has the country flags! Not olympic specific, but thought it might be relevant here!
