For Canadians, Olympic content will be streamed for free through http://www.ctvolympics.ca (Microsoft Silverlight is required).
Available streams are from CTV, TSN, RDS, OMNI, a few other networks, and a world feed. |

the bbc website is running 24 streams all olympics long. i know we arent supposed to point people to attempt to use proxies to view content illegally, but if you cant get anything in your country, the bbc is publicly funded and we dont mind, honest.

Surprised this thread isn't getting more hits/views, the opening ceremony just finished I think, but I was scrambling to find a stream to watch it.
Anyways, what OP said about NBC (nbcolympics.com) for people living in the US is true. The actual text is that you need a "TV subscription that includes MSNBC and CNBC", which means you'll need to be paying for some sort of family cable plan at home, despite the olympics being broadcast on basic cable channel 4 (NBC).
(I only have basic cable from Cablevision at home, which obviously includes NBC, but not MSNBC and CNBC, and after logging in to optimum.net through NBC's site, it says I don't qualify to watch)
For now I'll be resorting to other countries's livestreams, and even restreams |

Prime time events will begin to show up on your favorite _____ sites a few hours after airing as well. |

Any restreams of the live NBC coverage?
Seriously, US is the worst place to watch the olympics, unless you have cable. And possibly even then, since NBC doesn't show shit live on TV. |

Last Winter Olympics, NBC had the rebroadcast of the opening ceremony on their website. After it was shown on TV that is, but I'm on the west coast and nothing olympics related is live ever. I envy those people who live near the Canadian border since they can watch CBC or CTV broadcast instead.  |

Too bad. I remember watching NBC streams via proxy four years ago. |

There's a few good methods and tips in this thread here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/x8ezm/what_is_the_best_way_to_watch_the_2012_olympics/
From proxies and VPNs to restreams, the thread seems to also have Americans trying to find alternatives to NBC
edit: Been browsing a lot of r/olympics, and the best method hands down seems to somehow find yourself a way to use BBC's iplayer.
After watching the opening ceremony on NBC, trying to withstand Matt Lauer and Meredith's John Madden commentary, completely missing the tribute to the terrorist bombings (due to being cut by NBC), and watching about 50% ceremony 50% advertisements, I'm resorting to BBC coverage. Until I figure out how to use BBC's actual player, I'll be watching restreams.
