Live sports are the key for many people.
Of note: those of us who care little for sports save for the occasional definitive headliner. I'm looking for a source of top-tier Olympics 2012 coverage without having to get cable TV installed (haven't had it for the 6+ years we've been in the house, don't want to open that can of ad-filled worms, don't want to try closing that can afterwards). Any ideas/insights? An Apple TV "app/channel" would be ideal, but per Apple's norm I assume we won't know until near-too-late.
- zavulon 14y agoGet a regular antenna, most Olympics should be on NBC, and NBC (and NBC HD) are freely available over the air. Also, and this I'm not sure if works for all cable providers - worked for me for 2 of them - if you only get internet, but put in the splitter and plug in the cable into the TV, you'll get the free over-the-air channels too, without having to worry about the antenna placement.
- peterb 14y agoOTA HD (with a decent antenna) with a Homerun HD from Silicon Dust for distributing the content to your network.
- mitchellhislop 14y agoLooks like NBC is going to stream it all: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/ http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/
- mmorey 14y agoUnfortunately you have to be a cable/satellite subscriber to view NBC's online offering this year http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2012/05/02/151797082/nbc-will-stream-the-london-olympics-live-but-only-to-tv-subscribers http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2012/05/02/151797...
- yock 14y agoWhich requires that you login to their system with your credentials to your cable/satellite provider.
- mitchellhislop 14y agoBoo. Did not see that, mea culpa. I figured they were going the NCAA March Madness route, which was basically awesome.
