I find it hard to imagine that there'll be any action this year without a live feed. There mightn't be many channels showing it but it'll have a live feed for someone!

I mean, this was true for 99% of the events at the last few Summer Games, but if I remember correctly the Archery ranking rounds are one of those exceptions.

dcro 10,210 Posted July 5, 2021 #223 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yeah, archery and shooting qualifications are never broadcasted, for a pretty obvious reason... nenad 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzha 702 Posted July 5, 2021 #224 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I don't think our NOS schedules more than a week in advance, so I have no clue yet what's scheduled from july 23rd. I'm probably going to rely only on their tv broadcasts and online streams. I'm considering Discovery+, but with so much of the action in the European night and early morning, that would only be worth it if there is video on demand. Also I'm not sure if they allow a subscription for just one month, I don't feel like paying for an entire year for two weeks. Even if those weeks are the Olympics.

We usually had two for the Summer Games, but now only M4 Sport has Olympic events listed. It's not the end of the world, we will have three channels overall (M4 Sport, Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2), which is more than what we had for Rio because Eurosport didn't have the rights. This is same for all European markets, national broadcasters (except Russia) All countries have rights to broadcast the Olympics only in 1 channel and have limit of around 300 hours they can broadcast 57 minutes ago, Vektor said: Also, lol, M4 Sport has the Archery ranking rounds listed as a live broadcast on Day 0. I wonder if they forgot that the ranking rounds never have a live feed. (or maybe they will get a live feed this year?) And unsurprisingly they aren't listing the softball matches on the first two days despite the fact that they don't have anything else to broadcast live at that time. Archery Ranking Round and Shooting Qualifiers definitely will not be broadcasted. Must be a mistake or they will just show rowing instead.

Thank you! That's good to know, starting to look like a much better option now. I never trust these subscription services... Respect to some of you considering watching in the middle of the night!

Grassmarket 3,359 Posted July 5, 2021 #228 Share Posted July 5, 2021 OK, someone over on the Digital Spy forum has the same obsessive nature as we do, and he has managed to get Eurosport Help to say that here in Britain at least the streams on Discovery Plus & Eurosport Player will be the same. Now, the next thing we have to worry about will be if the D+ & EP streams will be of the same quality, or will one be better than the other? And if Discovery Plus is better, should we sign up for that as well? JamDH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 1,024 Posted July 5, 2021 #229 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Suits me as I have Discovery Plus. The app is kinda clunky (particularly on sky) but they might have a dedicated Olympics section to help streamline it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangehair43 251 Posted July 6, 2021 #230 Share Posted July 6, 2021 While I can get Eurosport’s feeds if I subscribe to the Player via Amazon Prime I am going to buy a firestick to be able to access and subscribe to the proper Eurosport Player app (My Tv is slightly too old) and switch to Discovery + if needs be.
