It's not inaccurate; you can't stream the Olympics from NBC online without having a cable subscription. Of my friend cohort (late 20s), we are all interested in the Olympics, but none of us have cable, so we can't watch it except at bars or the occasional after-work group. I'd love to follow the events, but I can't open a stream as easily as I can a YouTube stream—what's with that?! NBC has been given access to the public airwaves in the US and that should come with a responsibility to show content openly, but they're not. I looked to buy a USB TV turner, but there don't appear to be any that receive US broadcasts that work on OSX (at least for under $100, which was my arbitrarily-chosen budget for watching the Olympics).
