tbf, not everyone wants to watch the Olympics on their phone or tablet. With all the channels that they have aired events on, there really is no reason not to air everything live on television instead of sitting on the footage for hours for tape delays.
Cast it to your tv like you'd do netflix on any other app:comeon:

NBC isn't going to show a marquee event that comes on at 3pm eastern noon Pacific live because everyone is at work! They have plenty of streaming options for people who want to see those events live.

I personally think this is one of the most connected Olympics i've ever watched! from personal friends in Rio currenly live streaming their experiences all over my facebook page, to the myriad of streaming options availible on the NBC olympics app and the Comcast Xfinity Olympics app on my cable box. I can literally watch and event live whenever the fukk i want it on whatever medium i want to watch in the click of a button.

i've watched every event i've been interested in on their apps. no blackouts, a few buffering issues or streams that cross over to another sport, but nothing a quick page reload doesn't fix
Exactly. Anyone with a legit connection should be having no problems catching any event they like.

I don't feel sympathy for you all.

I've watched everything live through the NBC Sports App on my Roku and phone.

If u having Issues there, get on BBC iPlayer and get a proxy and watch it on there. You all complain because you are lazy fukks. It it was porn, you all would find a way to watch it.

Arrogance. It's why the ratings have been awful. Refusal to adapt to the times is never a wise move.

Anybody here who don't have cable or dish is able to watch the online stream on NBC's website?



I don't have cable and the streams don't even show up when I go to the page of an live event I wanna watch :dahell:

If I read this correctly, it seems to imply that you gotta have cable or dish to watch the online streams...

Powered by Playmaker Media, NBCOlympics.com and theNBC Sports app will live stream 4,500 total hours — including all Olympic competition for the third consecutive Olympics — for authenticated pay TV subscribers via TV Everywhere to desktops, mobile devices, and tablets, plus connected TVs for the first time.

Volleyball on live right now and its telling me there's no active feed for the match :stopitslime:

The olympics is a world wide competition you idiot, not just an American one.

The U.S. is the greatest country and most dominant country in this world. The world should appease us.

The Olympics should always be held in the U.S. or major events should be aired at a time convenient for the country that has a company that owns the rights to the Olympics, a country that dominates the Olympics, and a country that dictates everything in this world.
