Are you effin kidding me, NBC??

[beac]

I have to have a cable subscription to watch the Olympics online???

If I had a TV, why the feck would I be needing you watch online, you morons!


Yeah, they will give you 30 free minutes the first time and then you can have just FIVE pitiful minutes a day after that. Assholes.

1. Not just cable subscription, but one that includes all the extra $$$ sports channels NBC puts out

I have comcast, but I can't access either.

2. REALLY???

What complete and utter bastards.

4. Yup... I just tried.Between DSL and my miminal cable tv package, they already get about $75/month...

I'll be damned if I'm going to pay them MORE for premium sports channels, I'd never watch.

I hate, though that I'm going to only be able to see their pre-digested pre-formed canned shows each evening on NBC network. I don't know how much of that I am interested in seeing..

6. Just to be clear, my "REALLY??" wasn't doubting you...

it was completely directed at NBC.

5. I have "expanded basic"

and Canadian CBC (CBUT) has some coverage.

3. good thing i wasn't planning to watch them anyway.

they just aren't what they used to be to me. and yes, fuck nbc.

7. I'm watching on ESPN3.

Ok, it's in Spanish, but I love the more international perspective they provide. It's refreshing to have a non-USAcentric take on the olympics.

8. how about Hulu?

Yes you have to pay for access, but it is owned by NBC so they should have something.
