I'm trying to put together a list of ways to catch game webcasts. Please post any additions and I will update this original post.


NBC Online Broadcasts

http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_and_online_listings/online.html

CCTV Broadcasts (in Chinese)

TVAnts Software: Download

PPMate Software: Download

TVU Networks (You may need to download their TVU Player)

Channelsurfing.net (uses built-in Windows media player)


Eurosport 2 (UK) Broadcasts

TVlizer.net (Requires RealPlayer)

justin.tv

Online-Television.tv


General Links

www.MyP2P.eu - gives links to several video streams (the link I posted here is basketball-specific), which generally require either TVU Player (see link above), TVAnts (see link above), or Sopcast Software.

Well nbc.com has *I THINK* all of there events streamed.


I actually watched some of the soccer this morning and the high quality stream is awesome. I had to download some silver thingy(the app) but the interface is pretty cool. Just scroll up and click on "watch now"

For those outside the US, try http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/olympics . It won't work everywhere, but it appears to actually be entirely legal and official (I'm bemused by it working here in the UK, despite the BBC's online rights).

Oh, make sure you use Internet Explorer. It didn't work for me in Firefox, but even after declining the one or two things it wanted me to allow in Explorer it appeared to run the Opening Ceremonies just fine.

Sorry Luuuc. The page I found here - http://www.cctv.com/english/20080806/106217.shtml - says that the official online Australian internet rights holder is here - http://au.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/video . No idea what sort of coverage they're offering.

The first NBC link you provided, Luuuc, is the best one. I just hit it again and it's giving me updates as to when the broadcasts will start. It has an "alert me" link. Looks like Australia is up in women's hoops first. It's only 7:40 a.m. Beijing time.

It's so exciting we can watch stuff online as it happens!!!!!

That game comes on in less than an hr Eastern time right? (9am Beijing time and 9pm here)

I'm watching both teams warm up right now!! On my computer!! Live, as they're really doing it!!

I can't believe it. I guess I'm old school, because I can't believe it, and it makes me so happy to be able to sit here and see it live rather than eight hours after it's happened.

It's also 100 percent dope not to have Doris Burke, Nancy L, or any of those other yay-hoos saying stupid stuff right now. In fact, there's no commentating at all!!

And there's another game after this one.

I'm in heaven. Cool

Does the channelsurfing.net stream of the games work for anyone? It stopped working for me yesterday and I cannot get it to play anymore.
