Have you been fed up watching the olympics to see coverage of an event only to find CBC covering the Russian mens gymnastics team?

CBC has done what makes a lot of sense and is broadcasting 10 or so different live feeds through their website. It allows you to watch events that you are interested in instead of the general coverage on TV. Be warned though, many of the feeds have no commentary.

I know this is the lounge but I felt this the best place to share the information.
 
Just a side note - any of you who have ExpressVu - Olympic coverage on all cbc's as well as 866-878
 
hmm.. when i try to watch the video, it loads the window with the "Windows Media" logo, and it seems to load... but nothing happens after that... the buttons for 'play' and other video functions aren't even selectable..

any suggestions?
 
Apprentice, check to see if you have the up to date plug ins, make sure that the appropriate java script and cookie permissions are given.

Also, it's likely IP filtered so if you are not in Canada, you will likely be limited to asn's nbc link or find a proxy.


As a side note, it sucks that despite being customers for US networks, we can't access their online content.
 
I hate the lack of live coverage through ExpressVu. Though they have over 11 channels to support live coverage... they mostly just streem one feed!! it sucks.

the theme of cbc... let's cover a Canadian, ok, now let's watch Americans... ok, now we missed out on 3 other Canadian athletes... let's show what we missed... ok, now we're behind sked so let's briefly show 2 more Canadian athletes... now let's show an American team sport....ok, now cut to live ?? on our alternative channels, you will find. A) regular tv programming (non-olympic), B) the same feed as ours, C) a text format olympic sked. Why the use for 11+ channels, then??
