No, he can't. Neither can I... slappydavid Jul 30, 13:01

Is it not all on iPlayer anyway? For us Brits I mean... {nm} baronblacksheep Jul 30, 13:03

You can watch it on Justin.tv or other illegal stream {nm} mike255 Jul 30, 13:07

Does that site cost money for those of us able to access it? {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 30, 18:52

The UK s showing its apathy. Watch the events and you'll see countless empty seats. This is the Olympics. It should sell out. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 30, 20:56

This is a big story here - apparently the "Olympic Family" (ie reserved tickets for VIPs) aren't showing up, so their tickets now on sale {nm} baronblacksheep Jul 31, 06:15

I'd love to watch the Olympics here, but I have two problems: uni study, and the time zone difference. accountant_4_Jesus Jul 29, 17:02

track and field, men's gymnastics. swimming, diving, rowing, table tennis, white water. Others if I have the time and I'm not burned out JDolphin Jul 29, 22:48

Yeah that's fair enough. Probably a smart move to watch the sports that normally aren't on TV. accountant_4_Jesus Jul 30, 22:12

No spoilers: but there is NO REASON for NBC to not show the events live on the weekend! People are off work! What's the point? goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:40

I totally agree - I kept waiting for NBC to have a pay deal for online coverage like CBS did with the NCAA basketball tourney in March JDolphin Jul 28, 14:20

They don't want their prime time to be filled with non-prime time events. It shows how backwards in thinking the network executives are. elchan Jul 28, 14:49

I wanted to watch cycling so bad, but no such luck... (SPOILERS) slappydavid Jul 28, 15:58

But all you need is a DVR or equivalent....I recorded NBC and started watching about 3 hours late. I could fast forward Buy BONDS 19 Jul 28, 22:39

It wasn't televised in my country, even if it was previously announced... {nm} slappydavid Jul 29, 05:47

I posted elsewhere, but here we go again. If they only show events LIVE, there would be nothing but interviews in Prime Time. London is Buy BONDS 19 Jul 28, 22:48

I don't think UK audience would watch non-live sport (apart from highlights) {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:49

Also BBC isn't ad-funded so has no need to maximize audience by delaying to prime time {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:50

They're not gonna spoil it? What a joke. It's the real world, not the NBC world. Events happened 9 hours earlier on the west coast. goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:12

Also: How exactly is it spoiling anything for Prime Time if they showed the event live at 11:00 AM? goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:15

Not Going To Happen. They paid 1.8 Billion for rights years ago. They need prime time ad money. wroberson Jul 30, 22:12

Wow, if you hate spoilers, you're going to have to avoid TV, newspapers, the internet, and any other source of media. ;-) {nm} elchan Jul 28, 12:19

I think Phelp's success in Beijing, was because not everyone had those new special bathing suits. elchan Jul 28, 12:20

I'm avoiding obvious sites like sports etc - thought the people here would be a little more poilite and but the acual news inside {nm} JDolphin Jul 28, 12:29

and put (not but) {nm} JDolphin Jul 28, 12:29

Don't turn on the TV. Or the Radio. Don't go on the computer. GOOGLE will spoil it. CNN. EVERYONE. It's not spoilers. It's life NOW. goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:42

Apparently not, as I hadn't been spoiled until I visited this forum {nm} JDolphin Jul 28, 14:21

Really? So when you go on TV to watch any other sports or news, you don't see what happened at the Olympics? Impossible. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 28, 14:40

I followed the Cardinals-Cubs game this afternoon, watched a little CNN and they didn't mention the Olympics once {nm} JDolphin Jul 28, 14:44

Besides just being common courtesy, it's been customary on this board not to spoil live sports, current tv episodes, movies, etc {nm} islander Jul 28, 13:16

Yeah, I know when you got to ESPN, or CNN, or ABC, or FOX, or Google, or Yahoo, they have no spoilers up. {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 28, 14:35

Well I haven't been to espn or CNN or abc or fox or google or yahoo, but I have been to this here Life Board and (spoilers) islander Jul 28, 14:41

Come on folks. Can you imagine a discussion board where the top level comments, contain no information? elchan Jul 28, 14:45

Except he didn't insult the games. He just questioned whether they were ready, a fair question given the security shortage that was reported {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 28, 02:32

If they allow some sort of act of terrorism to occur, they'll look incredibly inept. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 28, 02:37

Just because it isn't new doesn't mean it doesn't SUCK. Show the events LIVE. Show them in prime time too, but show them LIVE. goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:30
