    The CBC website has streams but I was getting very low bitrates. I'm on BBC now and it's better. I'm using the Hola Chrome extension to get past the region block on BBC.

    Of course - why show Marin, the current and two-time WC and top contender, when you can show a WD match with English participation, thank you very much, BBC...

    NBC has all three courts in high quality :) without registeration you can only watch 30 min though, then you have to erase history and you can rewatch 30 min, and so on ;)

    yes. and nbc has been doing a good job in the US in terms of streaming. we get live streaming for all of the sports.

    the TV coverage is appalling but at least the streaming makes up for it.

    No, I do not get a free preview. I get straight to the window where I have to select the tv provider.

    1. close all windows/tabs that visited nbcolympics.com
    2. delete cookies containing "nbcolympics.com"
    3. then try the link again
    that's what works for me.

    o_O English participation and BBC, yeah I wonder why they wouldn't show a Spanish girl no one has ever heard of playing in a stage of the competition with no prizes at stake.
    I read there are 50 streams to choose from for the broadcasters and they have to indicate beforehand what they want (a small selection, haven't seen more than 15 at a time but I see your ZDF only has 6 streams :eek:. I guess I'd rather have the 15 we have in lesser quality, badminton is on right now for a 3 match session again. XD MAS v THAI last of them and just completed)

    Don't get me started here. ZDF said it will broadcast "a lot of badminton". I've only seen two matches - ridiculous.
