I don't nderstand why they don't have a raw ''live'' channell, kind of like the NFL's ''Redzone'' channell...

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).

maybe for you it was, for me it was not and the results were already spoiled by friends on the east coast, making that crash a lot less exciting.

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.

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...

i have yet to meet one person or seen anyone say anything who thinks NBC does a good job with the coverage. that pretty rare, because usually you get at least someone that argues they're doing a good job for whatever reason. i just don't get how nbc can get away with this. i guess they kind of don't in a way because they're losing tons of money, and i for one, am happy they are.
