Can someone start a thread with live stream links, etc?
General Information: Olympic Figure Skating Individual Events
- Thread starter gsk8
- Start date
Wait, if I live in the US, can I really stream the Olympics for $5 through Peacock? Is there a Premium version that allows playback for different events?Peacock coverage without commentary is the best $5 a month I've ever spent. I sure hope they plan on continuing that for the Olympics
We don't have cable or an antenna so I figured I would be stuck reading quickhits.

Peacock will probably have practice cams.
I'm considering Peacock too. Events will air on Peacock live. $5 for feed with commercials, $10 for commercial free. Events will repeat, but on a their schedule, not on demand. I guess I'm waiting until events start happening to make the purchase. I want to be sure there are still skaters to watch!
My sister has Peacock with her Xfinity subscription. I watched the USFSA regional events and the Grand Prix event in Russia while visiting her in November. The quality was usually good. I expect they will use the same camera video as the NBC broadcast.

We cut the cord and do not have cable or antenna either. I can't get Peacock on the smartTV though, so I watch skating on my laptop.
Peacock for figure skating so far has been great: a commentary free feed (they also have one with commentary sometimes but I ignore it
) and a replay function that is available maybe an hour, two hours after the event? Even though I pay for the "with ads" version, so far no ads during live skating.This is all for "regular" comps though (Grand Prix, challengers, Nats and Nats qualifiers) I don't know if they will switch it up for the Olys.
Downside: finding the comp can be a challenge, the interface is not the greatest. I imagine the Olympics will be easier to find than replays of Skate Canada were

If you have an HDMI cable, you should be able to hook your laptop to the TV. We don't have a smart tv, so we do that all the time with streaming apps.

For all the past events replays have been available about an hour after it finishes. Have you heard that it will be different?
It was like a dream come true for me when I discovered Peacock would be making all Olympic events available via streaming for just the usual $4.99/month. I'll probably give it a test run with curling tomorrow just to make sure.We cut the cord and do not have cable or antenna either.

How intrusive are the ads on Peacock? Is there a good reason not to sign up for Premium Plus trial, then "downgrade" to Premium (ads) after the trial is over. My homeless @$$ needs to watch Olympics LIVE... because #firstworldproblems, amirite?!

For a month, you can afford the extra 5 bucks for ad free. Otherwise, they will show you Rusty Cath and Country Western Music!

It is important to book mark everything in advance, but now they have an Oly icon and then a skatin' icon under that so maybe it will be easier.We cut the cord and do not have cable or antenna either. I can't get Peacock on the smartTV though, so I watch skating on my laptop.

Just got a nifty laptop computer for travel....not big but even it has an HDMI cable output. My smart TV wont download the peacock app so I got a $30 roku that will. BTW, anyone who thinks they can stream video over the built in browser in a smart TV better try it first. They purposefully only have a small amount of video ram so you cant. Now if you click on a youtube link on this forum on your smart tv, you CAN see the video as about every smart tv has a Youtube app. Sneaky, arent they?
They will get my HDMI cable from my cold dead hands. Love seeing skating on the big screen.

Perhaps someone is confused. NBC rabbit ears is gonna replay events in the wee hours.....when events like the Olys are on in the wee hours of the morning, and they didnt do on demand, people with tar and feathers and pitchforks would take care of the peacock.

For those with access to a VPN (or who are based in the countries below), the official Olympics YouTube channel are showing all the events live. Countries you can VPN into to watch the stream (courtesy of So You Want To Watch Figure Skating on Tumblr): Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
Links to the streams available so far:
Individual Events:

I've linked to the Team Events in their general info thread.

An easy, free way to access the Olympic Youtube streams is to download the Opera browser, which is free and has a built in VPN. Set the VPN to "Asia" and it should set your location to India.

The additional channels are now on the EPG, and they do indeed have themes:
Channel | 2022 Winter Olympics Theme |
|---|---|
| Eurosport 1 | General |
| Eurosport 2 | General |
| Eurosport 3 | Ice Hockey |
| Eurosport 4 | Ice Rink (Figure Skating, Speed Skating, Short Track) |
| Eurosport 5 | Curling |
I'll edit my TV Schedule post to include the Eurosport 4 coverage sometime between now and Friday.

Interesting. I thought the Indian broadcast rights were sold....usually that means an automatic block....

Totally OT Chris, but what laptop did you buy? Mine is too heavy to take when I travel.Lucky. I always get Singapore when I choose "Asia". I guess it depends where we're based originally...
