Me neither! :ddevil: I've reloaded the browser, cleared the cache and cookies, have the latest update of Flash and still only get the stupid spinny thing! I'm so ticked.

Did you unblock 3rd party cookies - ? That was an issue I saw with a different NBC Gold Pass

This i weird. NBC Gold not working for me and I tried to playback old content and that won't play either. My hubby brought up his apple TV and found NBCGold app and it is playing figure skating beautifully! But I think Apple TV offers just live coverage and I'm not sure that when I put in the code needed to play the app off of Apple TV that it didn't grab my account from my saved passwords on my computer. I'm soooo confused!

Different strokes. I dont like commentary during ballet, either.

I like when the elements are called with the commentary saved for after the performance. It's when THEY WON'T SHUT UP OR EVEN TAKE A BREATH that thoughts of sleeping pills and muzzles start entering my head.

I'm using NBC Sports Gold and it works for me, but I've had to refresh the stream about three times already

No refresh here yet...but one INW type 1 sec freeze. I have 10 meg download speed.

LOL, the SBS commentator is being very British. "While they're warming up on the ice, we're going to be warming up the kettle, and we'll be back in five minutes with a nice cup of tea." I got my kettle started during the Zamboni break, though.

Fedor Klimov sighting.

We all need Ted for commentary

And unless I'm mistaken, Ted is even in Saitama! And we still don't get his commentary

 

[skylark]

So, is the Group 4 lift a requirement this year in the pairs SP?

And also, I've noticed a lot of Group 3 lifts in the pairs FS. Is it a coincidence, or is that a yearly requirement as well?

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wait a minute, is it now the top 20 that qualifies for the FP?!

It's a bit different than that. Not sure what the "rules" are for linking out from here. It's on the NBC Sports Live FAQ - blocking 3rd party cookies. You have to de-tick it as a general thing, and then force reload etc etc etc. I'm a car "fan" and they have just started a Gold Pass for IndyCar - and there was banter about issues and saw this one as a solution.

 

[gold12345]

The required lift in the SP rotates each year.

And yes, the top 20 make the free skate... and there are only 19 pairs this season. Much less tension than last season!

 

[DanseMacabre]

Yes but there are only 19 pairs this year so everyone goes through.

 

[s_parks]

Oh. Of course. That's why there's rainbows on the costumes.

Nope to covers...

 

[DanseMacabre]

J/B's outfits are not giving me life. They're giving me flashbacks.

 

[Ichatdelune]

First death spiral not called level B

And really all my kudos for Zoe Jones for competing but this cover of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is pretty depressing
