Link for Eurosports Audio Olympics Coverage
Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for a few days trying to find a video stream for the Olympics. It's impossible to find one (other than the NBC online viewing). But I did find this audio stream which has been fun to listen to. Just thought I'd share. It was great hearing the commentary for Vonn's gold medal (keep our fingers cross)run. Dana ; )

2. Have you tried to access them?
Edited on Wed Feb-17-10 03:58 PM by DoBotherMe
I've tried and some are blocked, others require information, and some want me to download plugins/software. Anything that's streamed from Eurosport or Canada TV has been blocked in the US by NBC. If you've gotten any of them to work here in the US, I'd love to know which ones so that I can use them. Thanks! Dana ; )

3. I've used them all. I have the hockey up now.
I've used TVAnts, Sopcast, Veetle, and pretty much all the others (StreamTorrent doesn't work good for me, but the rest do).

Under each event they have links listed under "P2P Streams" and "Webstreams". "Webstreams" will be the easiest to use, but you will need to install two things for many of them, both totally safe.

First, install Sopcast, as that's the one used the most (and the one that gets shut down the least). After installing it when you click on a link needing it the program will open automatically and start loading the channel, which can take a few minutes sometimes (so be patient), and it'll stutter at first, but once it gets going it runs great.

This is an automatic download link (as is the one below) so don't click on it if you're not ready to download it and wish to look into it further.

After that install the IE plugin for Firefox.

Once they're installed when you right click on a link there will be a choice to "Open in an IE tab". Choose that for any link asking for IE, like Vexcast, NDSports (which is almost always good for me), Websop, etc.

let me know if I can help further. :)
