LONDON — Bells rang out across Britain on Friday to signal the final countdown to the Olympic Games, which open with an exuberant and eccentric ceremony celebrating the nation in an explosion of dance, music and fireworks inspired by Shakespeare's "Tempest". The three-hour showcase created by Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle takes spectators on a journey from Britain's idyllic countryside through the grime of the Industrial Revolution and ending in an explosion of pop culture. Watched by 60,000 people at the main Olympic stadium built in a run-down part of east London and a global audience of more than a billion, the event will have passages described by British Prime Minister David Cameron as "spine-tingling". www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/27/us-oly-wrap-day-idUSBRE86Q0EM20120727

Is there anywhere to watch ANY of it without a pay-tv subscription somewhere? I don't have TV service, so NBC wont' let me watch on their website.

Get a temporary viewing pass and that should do you for the Olympics.
