NBC made a brilliant addition to their coverage of the 2008 Olympics - streaming video. Since we only have one TV station on which to watch the Olympics and have to be in work all day we have a very limited view of the events, seeing only what they show on primetime. I've been wanting to check out the live streaming programs they had online, so tonight while primetime switched to volleyball I checked out what the web had to offer. And it's brilliant!
So far tonight I've watched a bit of whitewater kayak, fencing, greco-roman wrestling, and live water polo. It's awesome. You can choose what you'd like to watch by sport type and see highlights or previously recorded sessions, or you can choose out of the events that are presently live. And, you don't even have to watch just one. You can set the screen up to be showing up to 4 live streaming events at once. Glorious I tell you.
So, if you are feeling the need to catch up on anything check out the NBC site. They may have just what you are looking for. In fact, they may have what you didn't even know you were looking for!
Another post-midnight Olympic post I see - you really are a junkie!
ReplyDelete...BTW do I get bonus points for using 2 different meanings of the same word in the same sentence?
