G+_Robert Marshall Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Considering the TV time delay I hope I will be able to mute that thing! Last thing I want is two weeks of spoiler potential every time I pick up the phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Marlon Thompson Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am fortunate that there is an official app for the Olympics that is allowing real time streaming for the event because we are not in one of the priority countries (no Winter here) also we get the major Canadian channel CBC on cable and they are not pulling an NBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Marshall Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Its kind of a practical thing for California though as its the middle of the night for many events I would watch otherwise. NBC allegedly will have all events streaming too. But, I will believe that when I see it. May just get a VPN and watch the BBC again like I did with the last Summer Games.

G+_Alex Østergaard Hansen Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 No, and I'm not going to. The russians handling of the whole thing is a joke, and I won't be supporting that! But other than that, the idea is great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robert Marshall Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm not quite sure how a Google Now card supports the Russians. But, so be it. The Games are about the Games, not the politics. Just look at what happened when the USA boycotted the Moscow Olympics, and then the USSR returned the favor and boycotted the Los Angeles Games (not to mention the boycott of Montreal by many African nations). Many lifelong dreams were destroyed by those decisions. Sorry for the borderline hijack Marlon Thompson. I just get frustrated when I see people suggesting their not watching the Games might somehow hurt the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
