OT: Where to watch Olympic Hockey
With the men's hockey starting today in Vancouver, I wondered if any of you might have some suggestions for where to watch the game? I know it's broadcast live on NBC.com, but my Internet provider doesn't subscribe to their live broadcasts, so that's out...
I checked the usual suspects, justin.tv and ustream.tv, but nothing seems to be lined up for broadcast...
Any ideas?

The USA game is on the USA Network (ch. 242 on Direct TV) at 3 pm Eastern. So I believe it is being shown "live." Of course all of Canada's games should be live on CBC. How I miss CBC here in Chicago...

CBC got outbid by CTV back in 2005 apparently, so all of the games are on TSN this year.

I am stuck up here watching "Little Mosque on the Prairie" because the Canadian Government doesn't want channels like ESPN and HBO to come here because they may destroy Canadian Culture. Seriously, try to watch some of this crap. You will go insane.

They're broadcasting the Ice Dance figure skating event over the US-Canada hockey game on Sunday...bumping the coverage to MSNBC. That's a nice way to keep the NHL on your network, NBC, make sure they don't get any exposure for the sport!
Ugh, and Pierre McGuire is an analyst for the Olympic hockey games. Crosby circle jerk on the way...

Remember, we have four UofM students competing in the Ice Dance event

We have Jack Johnson along with several other Michiganders competing for the hockey team (Ryan Miller, Brian Rafalski, Ryan Kessler, Tim Thomas). So I don't really know what you're getting at.

i guess my point was that we have some Blue in the ice dance event, so if it's on NBC and hockey isn't, then we can still cheer for Michigan

I suspect that # of female viewers for figure skating > # of male viewers for hockey.

figure skating is the most-watched sport in the olympics (even more than men's ice hockey)

Just about every game in the Olympic hockey tournament will be live on cable, or on short tape delay. We should be very glad NBC isn't showing these games on the main network--this way, we get the entire game rather than 10 minutes or so of each period.
Today's games (Eastern Time):
USA v Switzerland, 3:00 (USA Network)
Canada v Norway, 7:30 (CNBC)
Russia v Latvia, midnight (CNBC)
Tomorrow's games:
Finland v Belarus, 3:00 (MSNBC)
Sweden v Germany, 7:30 (CNBC)
Czech Republic v Slovakia, midnight (CNBC)
Also: all hockey (and curling!) is streamed live on http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/live-full-replays.html

yea, if you go to NBC's olympic website there's a handy viewing guide that you can sort by date and sport to see what channel its on. Some are relegated to CNBC and MSNBC...why you'd put an action sport on a non-HD channel is beyond me. The Biathlon can't go on CNBC?
