So, is anyone in the US getting up early enough to watch the Open Championship?

Who all is fanatical enough to watch live coverage on DirecTV or TNT, starting in a few hours? Are you sleeping and then getting up, or are you pulling an all nighter? Or do you just not think it's worth it??

I'm lucky enough to be working from home tomorrow, so I may sleep for a few hours, then get up and watch it while I work, then maybe take a nap later on...

Wanna know what's crazy about it?? I'll get 10x more done from home, while watching the tournament, than I'd ever get done at the office. No interruptions!

I heard on the PGA Tour Network on XM/Sirius that none of the coverage will be in HD. Has anyone else heard that?

I probably would get more done at work normally, but home is definitely more productive at the moment. Our company got acquired a little under a year ago and a LOT of employment and operations changes have been made. There isn't much morale or desire to perform around the office; so we goof off much more than we really should. I probably spend 2 hours every day playing basketball with a little plush ball and a plastic hoop we taped up to the wall, lol...

Wow, that early??

Hang on, something's not right... I'm sitting here thinking that DirecTV would be broadcasting live from the first shot. I went to DTV's online guide yesterday, and I could have sworn I saw coverage beginning at like 4 AM Eastern/ 5 AM Central. Apparently, I saw it wrong because it looks like both DTV and TNT start their coverage at 6 AM Central....

I was just looking at tnt and their coverage starts at 4am pacific time. Which is exactly the time I'll be waking up tomorrow. The open championship iphone app will help me out a bunch though.

I'd love to, but I don't get TNT. I get NBC, CBS, some channel that shows classics, and Telemundo. If I got TNT, I'd be up at 4 to watch.
