My family doesn't own a tv. For the Summer Olympics there was lots of official online content. The winter games? ... not so much.

Sure there are lots of official stats out there, but I was unable to find the figure skating for my wife. In the end, she was reduced to watching it in Greek (we think) on a tiny Justintv station.

NBC paid a lot of money to secure coverage of the games. I wish they had put more effort into making them actually available to people.




Is http://www.ctvolympics.ca/video/index.html available to those outside of Canada?

Because CTV (Canadian company with broadcasting rights to the olympics) really did an excellent job of presenting the olympics this year.


Trying that link from Tokyo, it doesn't mention access restrictions, but video also doesn't load. It just says it is experiencing loading difficulties.

Market failure -> people will find a way.


Tried that. Didn't work.

Video player spins forever with the message "we're experiencing temporary difficulty"
