Uh, stupid question maybe, but...

So in Canada, TSN/CTV/RDS do the coverage, and I'm trying to find a live stream for it, but... On their website, all I can find is replays and highlights, the only place I was able to find a livestream is the CTV iPhone app that works flawlessly (they show Federer-Falla atm, the same they show on TV). I just can't seem to find a live stream link on ctvolympics.ca, am I just stupid or do they only have a livestream on mobile devices? The OP doesn't include Canada :(
 
After 13 hours of sports goodness, I think I'm ready to eat a meal and crash into bed, haha.

I have a feeling I won't be up for a single night out during the Games.

Try this?

9:30 AM........

sheesh, I'm still in bed then. I'll watch the replay somehow then.

Streaming has replays after the games end, so you can watch any time on nbcolympics.com

Is this it?
 
Today has been very satisfying to watch. Flicked through a ton of different events throughout the day along with this thread and enjoyed every single minute of it. Good start to the Olympics and I hope tomorrow brings more of the same, if not better. Monday is going to be different since I'll be travelling to London to attend the games for a few days. Boxing, table tennis and weightlifting, I can't wait!
 
Man, I'll be on the lookout for this fellow tomorrow during the 100m backstroke... He has lovely eyes.

Also, I hope he gets back to the podium this year. He won a bronze in Greece, but only ranked 11th in the 50 metres freestyle, and 20th in the 100 metres. But looking at his time, I don't think he'll advance. I hope he does, but realistically... I don't think he'll make it.
 
By what numbers? Because I doubt it.

FIVB (International Volleyball Federation), but it's not really surprising, it's one of the most popular sport in schools.

I never said it is more popular (if you mean people playing the sport). There are not enough courts for people to play. :-)

But saying it is a diversion is just stupid. It gets more TV coverage in Europe than "real" volleyball.

What part of Europe are you talking about? I live in Europe and volleyball here is huge everywhere, definitely gets a lot more coverage than beach volley.
 
... I'm an idiot, I somehow missed the fact that all those links were clickable. Thanks a lot, they show A LOT, I'm pleasantly surprised! They even have feeds without commentary for events that aren't covered by the main channels, wooooooooow
Sometimes the streams froze on me, but other than that, CTV's been pretty good today! Got through the FRA - NK match with few hiccups.

I'll have to figure out a compromise between watching events live and then watching them on CTV West with a 3h delay... somehow... I don't wanna get up at 3am.
 
Australia v GB basketball now, 6-7 halfway into the first quater, the crowd is so hyped every time GB scores which is making this quite awesome to watch
 
does the nbc online streaming suck for everyone else? constantly locking up and freezing

I think I figured it out, at least for Table Tennis. The NBC site is currently showing Table Tennis as "Live", but it's actually showing a replay. The replay video is actually listed as a replay as well. Checking the schedule, each match is allotted 45 minutes, so that it should finish up in about three hours. Three hours and five minutes after the matches started, the Live feed cut out. If you watch the replay, it cuts out in the middle of the last match.

In summary: NBC will stream all events live until they are scheduled to end, not when they actually do.

In summary: fuck NBC.
 
So Australia set up an alley oop and accidently passed it into the net!
 
Study for my cancer midterm, watch volleyball, study for cancer midterm, watch volleyball...
