Watching Olympics, http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/eta...watch-the.html

Watching Olympics, on inet from your PC, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...434#post211434

From your Nokia, WorldTV99 (get it from my signature):
China/CCTV4 (Not 24/7)
USA/China NTD TV NYC
Sport channels: Italy/SportItaly, Russian/Eurosport,
NewsChannel: USA/NBC, USA/CNN, USA/ITN news,
and any news channels that airs it.

VCURLs72, (get it from my signature):
NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, Fox

Hava users: simple, just turn on your Hava and point to NBC all the time!

Opening ceremony: Live, 8pm Beijing time, which is 8 am Eastern USA time (12 hrs difference) NBC will air the ceremony at 6/7 pm. From various information, the count down is "must see", about 5 min before the event.

Dont forget, you can always dl and watch, sometimes is better than streaming.

Currently all the sportchannels are already airing Olympics. Enjoy,

NBC is going LIVE on now, http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/pla...elcode=sportga.

I am moving my PC screen to a projector giant screen...

Anybody, any better way or any better mms:// for the Olympics?

Oh, Basketball is going to be HD on oxygen channel.


OPEN CEREMONY in 1:29 hr!

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

CBC is covering it here
http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/livevideo...ector:19688.js
Not sure how to extract the mms though. Maybe you'll have better luck...


Edit: As it gets closer to the opening ceremonies it's starting to get overloaded. Oh well it was nice in the beginning so maybe later it will be OK.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Yup, another 27 min to opening....

For those unlucky ones that get locked out for whatever reasons, try my settings, they go thru. And NO, they are NOT asking for $ for this olympics season, they may afterward:

To set up silverlight for your viewing AND NBC On THE GO, my settings:

27893
Time Warner Cables
ITN

And NO, there is NO $ involved at this moment...
It is OK to install silverlight and TVTonic internet TV
And it takes 30 min to set up things, you may miss the opening ceremony which is 15 min from now. Oh yes, on the TVTonic there is subscripton to channel open and close, I guess it is for the ceremony and apparantly, it is free to subscription, so far.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Can you please play around with WorldTV99 see whether one can watch from the Nokia while they are away from home? I have 27 CBC channels on WorldTV99 and hope one of them will pick up...

You links looked good, with program listings etc, but it is LOCKED "away from my area" I guess it is a Canadian channel. No, I cannot use your link. WTF :(

I am fine with nbcolympics.com so far.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Apparantly NBC is airing it late this evening 6/7pm. To watch it live now, you have to go to nbcolympics.com

Anybody find any TV channel to air it LIVE now?

bun

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Boy I'm a little surprised by the lock out - I guess that's what the world is coming to. Of course it works for me, but then again I live here...

I don't need it as I'm watching on my TV - large screen...

I tried a few other links and most work - here it is L'8r

Really impressive so far - like only the Chinese can do. I will need a link to download it after - I'll want to watch this again later.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

I scanned thru ABC, NBC, CBS, did not see any opening ceremony any where. Am I wrong on the time? It cant be, it is 8:41 pm in beijing. anybody find where do they air? Boy, I should be more prepared.... :(

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

I'm using Eurosport right now, and the commentary is good. They don't talk too much, and they are descriptive and informative in their comments.

The Dutch NOS commentary contained too much personal and political comments, so I switched from that searching to an other.

Probably, several people will capture the broadcast and share it, so if you miss it, you can easily download it later although the legality of such might be questionable.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

The opening is right now. Grab Eurosport and put it on English :)

Although you've already missed some beautiful parts. Perhaps rewatch it from start, or download a rip later?

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Well, this is america. They ALL decided NOT to air live, f(*&&k them!

Maybe tonight 7/6 I cam watch them. I am now turning to eurosport, thanks.


Where do you go for Eurosport english? I only have eurosport.ru headnews... and they are just showing clips, not the opening ceremony.... :(

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Hi Bun

I think the web sites are totally overloaded. We'll chase down a replay link for later... and hopefully a download somewhere. I tried a lot of links that worked on a scan previous to the OC.

The parade of athletes is happening now. The first part was the best I've seen for an OC so make sure you catch it later...

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

But why the hell will they not show it live in the US? i am really dumbfounded!!

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

You can get a glimpse, almost on any CBC stations. I am watching Canada/CBC National, Recorded News, all olympics, but recorded. It is sad, that I have to reorted to my tablet to watch olympics, rather than my giant screen TV.....screw the AMERCAN TV channels!

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Try this: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/2008-olympics
Choppy but at least it's live.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Thanks, Reggie, the link worked. Audio is good, and at least there is some videos, Thanks again,

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

On a remote control there is button a change the language of a broadcast if it is broadcasted in multiple languages although perhaps the option is hidden. But if you're not able to reach EuroSat, or your cable corporation doesn't broadcast Eurosport, you're SOL.

Although your problem is already solved here some links

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Is anyone watching this with mobile phone and DVB? Although, I'm not sure any Nokia device provides DVB. I suppose the N96 is too late for the olympics ;)

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

I got eurosport fine. Interesting, yahoo link also locked up in my area. Apparantly, all the olympics broadcast are very selective in regions. Perhaps, worry about too many subscription?

I guess I am only to wait for the opening ceremony from our TV later to night.... nice try, verybody, thanks,

bun

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

in the us nbc owns the broadcast rights for all olympic coverage. no network can broadcast any olympic coverage until after nbc has broadcast the particular event so you wont see anything on cnn/abc/cbs until after nbc has broadcast it.....my guess at least 24 hours later

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Yet another source for Olympic streams....

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

I give up. They ALL say live. Live my butt! It is 'live' photoes.
Sort of like buy one get one free, it is free, buy the right shoe, we give you the left shoe, FREE.

I guess if one really really try hard, one can find it, maybe. I got more things to do then try to twist the arm of those media tycoons.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Its over. I've seen it live on TV. There was a small lag for 2 reasons: 1) satellite connection latency 2) the Chinese TV lags the broadcast for 20 seconds.

However, if they show photos instead of video (I noticed this on the en.beijing2008.cn as well), then its indeed BS.

For a rip of the broadcast try

http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=olympic+beijing

PS: All people residing in The Netherlands heads up: DVB broadcasts of Ned1/2/3 and regional TV are free. You do not have to subscribe to anything to receive these on your DVB enabled device. The public television will broadcast a lot of the Olympics, so you can watch 'em for free on your DVB enabled device (such as the Samsung one sold by KPN).

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Not to sound too political...
THE opening ceremonies are now over and we all get to watch the replays on real TV's over dinner. Fortunately, I live in Canada (and its greatest supporter) and we have CBC which was live this morning (I was up) and several feeds throughout the day.

The opening ceremonies here absolutely stunning and non-political - all about invention/engineering - (and that's my line and love) I wonder how the next country can hold the world's attention after this. I heard numbers of $2-300,billion bantied around - a sum which could help some of the 800 million peasant farmers that live below the UN poverty line some sort of reprieve. However, I guess the final outing of China makes it all worth while.

A little side note: I met my wife in 2000 when Beijing (her home) and Toronto (my home and now our home) were competing for the Olympic games. We couldn't lose - both of us would win because they are both great cities,

I'm glad Beijing got the games because the poor old tax payer in Toronto/Canada couldn't afford all of this. I think we are probably still paying off the 1968??? Olympics held in Montreal!!! And we can sit back with our NIT's (as long as we don't live in the USA :rolleyes:} and enjoy it tax-free!

Let's hope for a great and safe Olympics and may all our teams do us and the world proud.


Cheers

I got the CBC live feeds to work on my tablet; beautiful, clear, full screen video.

It was a pain to get it to work. First I got Bundyo's MPlayer plugin. Then I went to the cbc.ca olympics live video website. Then I chose the channel. Then when the MPlayer plugin just sits there, saying "getting playlist", I double click and hit "play" from the menu that pops up. It tries to play something but doesn't work. I double-click again, and copy the URL using the menu choice. Then I pull up a terminal and type

Of course, I paste the URL into the command, instead of typing <pasted URL> :D

It is magnificent, better streaming video than I've ever seen...

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

You got lucky, qole! I tried that before and I tried that now, same thing, error message "Region". No cigar :(

I did watch the whole thing from HD NBC, pretty amazing

Edit: My mistakes! I 'assume' qole is from california! What a mistake! I appologize.

Finals cycling was well worth it IMO!! :) especially the last 30 minutes.

Try this link. It not only has the olympics but a plethora of other sporting events.

Re: Watching Olympics...on inet...on your Nokia
 

Hmm... the chances of getting Moonlight to work on Linux are slim. There are XPI plugins for x86 and x86-64, but not for ARM. And they aren't able to play multimedia either.

The Dutch NOS have livestreams for all IP addresses assigned in The Netherlands. There is no DRM anymore. Previously, on EK2008 there was (with a hidden non-DRM stream in the URI ;) ), but it was world-wide available. Unfortunately it does seem to require Silverlight/Moonlight, and the stream is 800 kbit/sec. If I ever get it working I'll post an update here, and if anyone got it working I'd love to hear about it.
