like someone said in another thread, you can fake out the online stream by entering a zip code where it's available.

here's one i managed to get: 02142
that's cambridge, mass. can't remember which cable system i picked, but there are only a handful. try the basic cable system.

for DirecTV users, I guess you need HD channel. I have the basic 750-753, but no 754-756 Crying or Very sad No HD Tv. Oh well, the online stream is ok.

Very tempted to wait in line at Time Warner and exchange my box -- got my HD TV months ago, but have dreaded waiting in the ridiculously long line at the mall to get the box. This just might be the incentive I needed.

no prob, rebbies. i think others should list some other zip codes and systems that have worked, so we can suggest to whomever tracks this that there are women's basketball fans all over the country. (and because cambridge isn't that big a town!)

You need to have HDTV in order to get the Olympic Basketball Channel, if you have it then the channel is 179 (I believe). If not, you can catch games on the USA Network. The next US Women's game is Monday morning at 8am on USA Network, which for Brooklyn and Queensns is Ch 16..

For those in NYC with Time Warner, the NBC Basketball channel is 197, but like Str8 said, you need HD... which I have. Jersey, you're right. This channel is awesome.

So jealous. Can't trade in my box until we watch all the stuff we have saved in the DVR's memory. Ugh! By the time we get through all that, the Olympics will be over!

Does ANYONE have Verizon Fios??? My damn cable went out about an hour ago. I have a giant black screen saying "currently unavailable" on every fucking channel!!!

It doesn't help that tonight at midnight Verizon workers go on strike AND there's NO ONE in their customer service dept....AHHHHH!!!!!

I wish I could "share" any Olympic stories...AHHHH!!!!
