Re: Olympics: Official bitch about NBC's coverage thread

Good thing I found this thread and know to subscribe to watch all the curling online. Puppies would be running scared if I was denied being able to watch the true sport of real men (and women).

I heard she broke her leg or something. I am sure they will mention her when it gets better.

When I covered the 2002 Olympics they had TVs setup in the Media Center that just broadcast the raw feeds of the events. It was just the video feed, ambient sound and graphics -- No announcers, no commercials, no human interest stories.

It was the best damn coverage of the Olympics I've ever seen.

Re: Olympics: Official bitch about NBC's coverage thread

Do they encode olympic videos somehow to prevent them from being viewed from other countries? I know the TSN online feed doesn't work if you live in the US, but I just tried to watch some video on the swedish news site, aftonbladet.com, and the video's showing footage of actual events wouldn't load, but other non-olympic videos worked fine...
