Just tried to login to the NBC streaming service for watching the Olympics live. Turns out you need to have be paying for one of the cable bundles that provides CNBC or one of the other bull$ht channels these jerks want you to buy. What a bunch of a$$holes. Seriously, the Summer Olympics comes around once every 4 years and I have to watch Bob Costas and whatever other bull$ht programming NBC want to shove down my throat?
What a bunch of friggin’ crooks. It would be a real favor to everyone if the government would deregulate friggin’ cable. I don’t know if that would necessarily address this particular problem, but I know it’s something the cable providers don’t want. Right now, that’s good enough for me.

Same issue down here in PA … that’s what I tried to tell you last night …
Agreed on all counts, the fact that we know what happens, thanks to ESPN and everyone else, but can’t watch it as it is happening, thanks to NBC, is painfully frustrating.
However…you may want to take a look at http://www.nbcolympics.com/ and check out the Online Listings feature and the Watch the Olympics Live feature on there…it might solve your problem.
AH…I see now, yup, that doesn’t work either…
