I wish we could see the crew working on getting the hatch open on the ISS feed...
They haven't been live showing Dragon at all today as far I remember--they only showed the usual view from Destiny but you couldn't see the hatch.

But:MCC-H is watching it, and I expect they are recording it and will be showing higlights of it in the ISS update hour tomorrow.You can also watch the previous dragon (CRS-1) hatch opening courtesy of John44: http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7894:expedition-33-hatch-opening-of-the-spacexdragon-crs-1&catid=1:latestIt should loook much the same as this one...

Views on the weekends are usually external only (it's normally crew off time) but this is a duty day...
It was mentioned in the past that PAO has to be there to allow internal views of ISS. I imagine they aren't still on console is afternoon.
ISS Updates @ISS101 :The crew is taking a break now that the hatch is open to allow air inside #Dragon and #ISS to mix.

I guess they need to consume the perishable items as soon as possible, for science.
Hatch Opened at 1:14 p.m. ESTThe hatch between the newly arrived SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and the Harmony module of the International Space Station was opened at 1:14 p.m. EST. Dragon delivered about 1,268 pounds (575 kilograms) of supplies to support continuing space station research experiments and will return with about 2,668 pounds (1,210 kilograms) of science samples from human research, biology and biotechnology studies, physical science investigations, and education activities. It is scheduled to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California on March 25.
Crew Ingresses DragonRunning well ahead of the timeline, Expedition 34 Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn opened the hatch to the SpaceX / Dragon resupply vehicle at 1:14 p.m. EST Sunday, enabling Commander Kevin Ford of NASA and Canadian Space Agency Flight Engineer Chris Hadfield to enter the cargo craft a little more than four hours after Dragon was berthed to the International Space Station following a flawless rendezvous. Ford and Hadfield will begin to unload Dragon’s cargo on Monday morning at the outset of three weeks of operations to remove more than 1200 pounds of supplies and science experiments and hardware from the cargo craft and to load more than a ton of items and experiments in Dragon for its return to Earth later this month.
