What channel will the games be on? 

Post#1 » by Pancho_Pantera » Sat Aug 9, 2008 5:48 pm

I know NBC hosts the Olympics however; the only channel I get is MSNBC and not NBC. I'm thinking NBC will most likely have the game but was wondering if MSNBC will have them by any chance. Or is there a way I can watch them over the internet? It seems that we have to get up really early to see these games.

This might help you: http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv_and_onlin ... index.html

But if any Canadian cannot watch the games on TV, CBC has everything you need on their website http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/schedule/. Great quality and literally no buffer breaks on the live streams.

Well I would say if you don't have a chance to see the events... use sopcast. I am so pissed off at NBC given that they didn't air the opening live.

Most of the games aren't live, they say which one's are live and they put an encore commercial about it. But if you're like me and watch all the events LIVE on www.nbcolympics.com , then life is great for you.
