Can I watch the Olympics?!
|
Well, excited to watch qualifiers today after work; given that I work I can't watch them live, so I was hoping to watch the replays. But... The website https://stream.nbcolympics.com/sport-climbing-mens-combined-qualification tells me that I need to sign into my "TV service" so I can watch the replays. But... I don't have a TV service. Aha! To the right it says to get a Peacock account if you don't have a TV service. But I must sign up for Peacock Premium to get replays. Ok, so it's $4.99/mon, that's fine and I sign up for that service. But guess what... Climbing is not one of the select sports that has replays available, just gymnastics and a few others. Ok, so I can't watch climbing. Another hour of searching and nothing. I'm not going to sign up for 140 channels with Comcast at $90/mon (with a 1 yr contract required) in order to watch the olympics, so forget that. Are there other options?! I realize I'm not a "real American" without any TV service, but I just wouldn't use such a service so I've never bothered. |

I’m in a similar situation. The climbing should be live on peacock, maybe only if you get the premium though, and I’m just staying up (not really even going to bed at all) to watch the finals in a few hours. |

if you’re not against streaming sportsurge.net has every channel if it’s gonna be aired in the US |

I figured there must be SOME way for fans to see the action after work? Other than paying thousands of dollars to a TV provider, that is. |

YouTubeTV, which has month-to-month payments and I think has a 2 week trial period too, qualifies as a "cable" provider for the NBCOlympics site. I think it's probably the cheapest/easiest way to watch all of the Olympic climbing in the US. |

Yeah peacock isn’t actually having it right now…… |
|
I got the Hulu Live and set up the DVR function to record the first day. Ended us with 30min of men's volleyball overtime and then 20min of speed climbing! |

BigRed's method worked for me, thank you! Sad I blew $5 on a useless Peacock subscription. |
Big Red wrote: This worked for me as well. Sign up for Free trial youtubeTV then go NBC Olympic site and use YouTube login to get into NBC site. There they have all the full replays. Yes this is all completely backwards and a huge rigamorole. NBC is dropping the ball. |

Yeah its annoying, but I just use a vpn (hola chrome extension is free) then CBC.ca for the Canadian stream. They have live and video replays of the full event after the fact. Thanks Canada! |

My gym will be hosting a replay viewing, which is more fun, I think, being with my fellow rowdies. |

Thanks to Chris Stocking and BigRed. I had already canceled YouTube TV, so I had to go make another trial account, but their suggestion worked. Finally I can watch Olympic Sport Climbing! :) |
|
It’s pretty funny how so many people got upset that the Olympics were going to blow up the sport. But as it turns out, very few people will even see it. |
