Had to stop watching the volleyball match, the NBC stream kept jumping backwards in time fifteen seconds, then jump forward to the present (missing entire points), then freezing my PC. Still, I'll check back here in thirty minutes for the final scores three hours before NBC pretends it starts.

The streams are working great on the nbc iPad app.

 

[mcfrank]

Anyone else watching the NBC stream in HD? Is it jumpy as hell like mine is? It's pretty rough at times..frame skipping all over the place. I downed the resolution to 720p, didn't seem to help. Speedtest says I'm pushing 20Mbps so I doubt that's the issue.

Same for everyone I believe. The mobile stream on ios (and I hear android) is much better

Their app is actually better than their own website.

NBC streams were unwatchable for me when I tried in the morning. Coupling that with the rest of NBC's mishandling of the Olympics so far, I decided to switch to BBC's coverage. It's been perfect so far.

BBC's looked good through the method I mentioned earlier, but since it's basically a VPN, bandwidth seemed limited. I think I'll try a different solution to see if that works better.

Has anyone been or going in the next few days?

My tickets are for the 7th, hopefully watching Bolt in his 200m heat.

Excited

A great first day. Archery was the sport of the day I think. More drama than a Luther episode.

COME ON 3RD SET

 

[RiverBed]

I need help gaf: All I want is to watch the Olympic gymnastics. Are there ANY free streams of that (live or relayed?). The NBC site tells me to log on to my provider. I am lost.


I googled to no avail.

 

[Salvadora]

This is nail biting stuff.

 

[fuenf]

[killer_clank]

Yeah you need to have a cable provider to watch the NBC streams.

I do not know of any others though ... maybe some BBC or other countries have streams?

Hopefully someone can help.

 

[mannerbot]

wowowow amazing point

 

[Levyne]

Just saw the last point. Good match!

 

[SDBurton]

WOW AMAZING ROUND

USA! USA! USA!

 

[Salvadora]

Amazing end and a great match.

Seriously. I feel like I could watch this outside the Olympics and be very entertained.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Beach volleyball? AMAZING!

 

[LyleLanley]

That was great stuff.

 

[mcfrank]

Epic match point.

 

[rangersfan414]

expatshield.com + bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics

NBC site requires a cable subscription (which I have) and is terrible anyway. BBC coverage > *

 

[Fjordson]

Hell yeah. <3 May and Walsh.

 

[Brinbe]

Tough to lose such a close match like that. Great stuff from both teams

 

[Shadow780]

Great use of music at beach volleyball, got the crowd mad hype.

 

[Brinbe]

Brazil-Turkey still going on in regular v-ball.

 

[LuuKyK]

This Brazil x Tourkey match is intense. Holy shit @ the coach meltdown.

 

[killer_clank]

Brazil-Turkey still going on in regular v-ball.

Australia vs GB in Women's basketball too.

 

[TylerD]

May is so powerful.

The match point was great.

 

[MIMIC]

Phelps finished FOURTH?! wow

 

[B-Dex]

Turkish coach going IN lol

 

[szaromir]

A little program called Expat Shield can assign you a British IP. A little piece of advice for those struggling with streams.

The Turkish team's formation seems to be in shambles whenever they receive serve. It's almost unbelievable how they're competitive in this match.

 

[LuuKyK]

Turkish coach going IN lol

He almost destroyed his jacket just now.

:lol:lol:lol

 

[duderon]

That last girl that spiked on Brazil got some air. Wow!

It's like they even gathered the best clean up crews around the world for this. The Olympics are no joke.

Curling is already an olympic sport.

 

[ag-my001]

Curling is already an olympic sport.

And one of my favorites.

Someone remind me, the short girls in the alternate uniforms, are they prohibited from serving or from spiking/blocking. I know there's something special about them (besides being the only blonde member of the Turkish team).

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Okay...the stupid NBC site is no longer recognizing my fucking sign in. It's saying that I need to sign in with a service provider that has MSNBC and CNBC, but I already have that, and it's been working (shitty as it is) all day. WTF.

 

[Yoshichan]

is this the fastest growing thread ever?

Nope.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Fernandinha. <3

Yo, unf.

 

[Koodo]

When does NBC's broadcasting rights expire? I truly do feel bad for the Americans.
