|
|
Anybody know where i can find Olympics videos to watch? I'd really like to check out some video or Phelps in the 400 m relay which i hear is a spectacular race, but youtube is removing any Olympic video almost instantly* and all the English sports websites i go to won't play anything because I'm in the "wrong territory". So, what's an ESL Teacher have to do to check out this stuff?
*i suppose if i paid 900 million for exclusive rights, i'd be pissed if people were posting that stuff too...still, i'd really like to see something with decent commentary! |

i just downloaded a torrent of that 400 M race
there is a girl in my class who has a pretty good video mp3 player, its get tv stations so we watched some on that too.
i want to get one of these mp3 players but i am afraid that all the channels will be in korean.
id almost rather not watch at all if its not in a language i dont understand but i cant stand to miss any more of it. |

I also was experiencing the same problem...and I was totally shocked yesterday when KBS Prime actually showed Phelps run instead of the normal zillion runs of Park...it was the first time in three days that I had seen it
However, yesterday I was able to access Phelps swim on this site:

but today I see they won't let me though other medleys are avaialbe. NBC is just controlling things...unbelievably...scary.... |

Yeah, the crappiest thing about NBC is that it wouldn't tell me the video is unavailable in my region until AFTER i downloaded their player  |
