Well, you could have planned ahead... it's not like this situation cropped up spontaneously. I bet months ago you knew the Olympics were starting today and you knew you didn't have a way to view them. Not judging or accusing, just sayin'.
- blueski 14y agoI did this last time around. A guy had to come to my house, lay cable and leave a box under my TV - only so I could take it all back a month later. Comcast have have spammed me with roughly two "come back" letters a month ever since. It blows my mind that in 2012 NBC won't take my money to let me watch this online. Presumably they think it's enough to make me buy a cable subscription. They're wrong. I just searched around and watched a glitchy pirated feed - wishing all the time they'd let me pay them $5-$10 for the real thing.
- nitrogen 14y agoIt's rather pathetic that the spontaneity we've come to incorporate as an essential part of our online culture is thrown out the window when it comes to the whims of the giant broadcasters. Maybe people didn't want to watch the show ahead of time, but changed their minds at the last minute. That's possible and desirable in nearly any other situation, but not the "look how much more important we big business sponsors are than you" games?
