Hey Guys, Anyway to watch the recordings of the olympic volleyball games online. I don't have a cable subscription or anyway to pay to watch them? Welcome Surendra. There are a few threads in this forum talking about TV coverage and online viewing. You'll get some fuller answers by reading those. The short answer is that if you are in the USA there won't be a dependable source other than NBC to watch all games online, because it's against the law for anyone else to show the games. |

Since my internet provider at work is not one of the affiliated providers, I can't watch NBC's live coverage. However, I did find this link and I'm watching Russia/Dominican Republic now. tvpc.com/Channel.php?ChannelID=10587 |

It's our anti-free market government which colludes with corporations to legislatively protect specific business models. Copyright/IP law has been going insane for a couple decades and has gotten so pervasively bad it will soon reach the consciousness of non-nerds, most of whom don't yet understand how it is already affecting every their daily lives.
Corporations love to hire think tanks and lobbyists to talk about how big government regulations are keeping them from being successful and creating jobs, but they sure do love big government when it enforces protection of their traditional revenue streams from market/consumer innovation.

Ok, spoke too soon. I have a pop-up blocker so I didn't see the validation window for my Comcast account. My coworkers are using the feed link I posted because some of them don't subscribe to a cable service. It does not exonerate corporate media from their shady practices!
By the way, anyone check out tne #NBCfail hashtag on Twitter? Hilarious stuff.

Let me know if any of you can watch the "World Feed" links on www.ctvolympics.ca/ I'm not sure if it'll block US viewers, but they are calling it a "World Feed". |

If it's a legal feed, it will block any requests it detects as originating in the USA. Any non-NBC affiliated site showing Olympics to people inside the USA is against the law, period.
