Like the Olympics but hate the commercials and missing anything below 6th place -
NBC has non-interrupted feeds of most events.
Click the schedule page

Then click on what to see…

Just saw the men’s downhill training runs - no adverts or screaming announcers
My slow broadband connection worked great

This is a joke! NBC has ruined OTA (and live feed) video on the Olympics. There in NO live video feed on their site, you only get live updates on times and speed. MDH, the premier alpine event, 6 friggin racers, WDH, 8, a major disappointment and a total suck-ass job NBC, you SUCK!

add-I have tried other sites, Canadian, Europian...to see live feed like the other countries are getting, but NBC has the rights to all Olympic coverage in the US and blocks everything, double suck-ass job NBC!

I second that.

We have it a little better on the East Coast as much of the primetime has been live. The live streams of hockey and curling have been decent.

Watching the other night:
"Go to NCBOlympics.com for lots of updates."
I go to the site to see what it has.
"Jacobellis knocked out of Semi-finals." She hadn't even run the quarter finals yet.

And lets not forget that Judge Judy or whatever is still on during the day, rather than providing some coverage of any sort.
Sports are supposed to be live.

I would suspect that at some point in the not so distant future, you may see a coalition of cable and dish operators getting together to outbid the networks for the coverage and having multiple continuous live feeds running.
