I want to stream Olympic coverage on my computer (no tv or cable). How can I do this? NBC restrics coverage to the US, and I couldn't get a proxy server configured properly.

Any advice?

www.myp2p.eu


Live sports via TVU, Sopcast, TVAnts, et al.

Watching beach volley ball and the first medal ceremony in women's shooting on CCTV 1.

Most of the internet coverage is blocked internationally, for example BBC or NBC for Americans.

You need to download the sopcast ad tvu players. This should allow you to watch the Olympics.

Working for me. I'm listening to C-Span 3 now. Smile

Had to download the Media Player 11 plugin for FF first, but that just took a moment or so. Wario's gonna love it come lacrosse season, I'm sending him the link.

Thanks Matthew!

hmm... ff is still telling me I have a missing plugin, yet it's playing? {Edit} ok, I refreshed it, the msg is gone and it works great.

Try downloading sopcast and then going to www.rocketsnation.50webs.com

I watched the USA China basketball game on it last night and it was the best quality I've ever seen streaming.

I think this should be stickied for the olympics, so less people will bitch about the olympic coverage on Korean channels.

Anymore websites? Seems like videos on all of these have been taken down. And Myp2p is a bitch to navigate.
