ludhianvi Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thought of compiling a list of legit sites streaming the Olympics. Add others in your area. United States: http://www.nbcolympics.com Canada: http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/ The Canadian one isnt as good as the nbc one but its quite good.

Chandan Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 How about India? Does anyone know where we can watch the events we want to watch, not what DD is showing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the NBC site seems to be restricted to just the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The NBC one is brilliant. Excellent audio/video quality. I am curious as to how they can manages such a good streaming quality, despite ten's of millions of viewers tuning in at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really frustrated with DD where instead of showing Olympics they are obsessed with Indians only. I wanted to watch that 4x200 relay swimming. It is not on you tube too. Wonder where I'll watch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah Chandan it's really sad that we have to put up with crappy Doordarshan even to this day. Instead of showing the live events at the Aquatic centre they were playing yesterday's highlights. How stupid can one get? Why don't any of the private channels bid for the Olympics telecast rights? Too little profit to be made since most of our population know nothing about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic is quite a watched event. Wonder why others are running away from it!! And why don't we have an online telecast like the Americans have?

I think you should be able to watch it if you enter one of USA zip code and a cable company.. use 77077 and comcast as cable company.. I did everything Veer, from filling the zip code, to providing the name of the TV service to downloading a software. But it says that these online telecasts are just from the US residents!! Even the Canadian site also says that it is just for the Canada residents. Wonder how will it harm them if people from outside their country watch it!

PaiN_KiLLeR Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Notice how all the DD presenters pronounce 'Olympics' as 'Olumpics' :cantstop: Also, they have the Maruti Suzuki sports update where they give updates of only those events which took place in the last 15 minutes.
