OT - live stream for W's Super G?

Submitted by SailingNomad on
Anybody know if there is or where I might begin to try to find a live stream for the Women's Super G? NBC is a bastard and won't broadcast it live even though they're already planning to broadcast the olympics while the event is going on.

NBC considers these premium streams subject to having a paid comcast cable (or other) account. So unless you already have cable, the online streams are not accessible. It's really frustrating since the Olympics are supposed to be about openness and the sport. Not this crap about primetime only. I would be more than willing to pay per stream for events given the choice to do so.

Don't tell NBC you'd be willing to pay for streams. They'd be more than happy to start charging for web content, rather than just giving it only to cable subscribers. NBC needs to follow the lead of CTV and provide lots of free live streaming events rather than walling it off, be it a pay wall or a cable/satellite subscriber wall.

Sorry guys, I just watched the first 30 so the race is pretty much over, a pretty crappy stream today, but I usually attribute that to being a women's event (all the men's alpine events have had flawless streams when I've watched them). If you want to stream the races, go to either atdhe.net, stream2watch.com, or fromsport.com . Between the three of those I can usually find a suitable stream. Congrats to Vonn today on her bronze medal. I'm looking forward to the men's super combi tomorrow.
