Apparently the Olympics on web in Slovakia will be only on MAX RTVS can only broadcast live and only in one of their TV channels. They can stream on web only what they will show live in TV... this is completely mental !

 

ffs now I have to subscribe to Max (former HBO) to watch the Olympics... this is totally absurd... at least apparently they will stream everything covering by cameras from Paris... so, yeah at the end of the day, I will be forced to do that...

 

where is this world going ?

Same deal in most countries now.  It’s back to  days for free-to-air Olympics.

At least there is still the option to watch multiple channels here, like Belgium, Germany and the BBC. But Eurosport coverage was really poor last time around, so I don't have my hopes up for their TV channel. It really seemed to be designed for getting people to watch on demand stuff.

 

I will pay it gladly anyway, but I won't stay around after the Olympics for sure.

Yeah, nowadays I never bother with an actual TV Channel as long as all the source streams have commentary.

Which means I'm not too worried here. HBO will let me turn on a maximum of two streams at a time, so with my expected setup, I'll definitely have plenty of real estate to watch what I want:

 

- TV

- Desktop

- Laptop

- Phone

- Tablet

 

On each of those I can turn on a regular TV channel and with Dutch, Belgian, German and British TV available (and even Eurosport 1 and 2 if they are showing something at that moment) I'm sure at least one of them will always have something I want to see. Plus then there's still space for two HBO streams to watch something that isn't on any of the TV channels at that given moment.

 

With the monthly Eurosport cost going out, a sports add-on on HBO MAX also isn't going to be much of an extra cost, maybe 1 or 2 euro per month more for something I use countless hours every single week of the year.

Hi everyone! 
 

A bit of a family emergency is going on right now (my dad isn’t doing too well, he’s on his way to the hospital as I type this), which may explain my lack of inactivity on Totallympics and updating all of the various sporting events 

 

If anyone wants to post any of them that’ll be appreciated, and if not then I’ll post them when I’m fully back! 

 

Actually, it might even be within a few days. I’ve just thought about it, and when I’m not busy visiting him at the hospital, I might choose to watch/share results of some sports. Bit of a confusing response I know, but to explain my thought process, watching (along with playing, but irrelevant point) sports and sharing results on Totallympics are two of my favourite things to do. Trying to not worry too much when personal problems is hard for me, and it might be what I need to not freak out and have mental breakdowns every couple of minutes. But we’ll see.

Another update. My dad is still in the hospital recovering. He’s been there for about a month and a half so far. He’s doing much better than before, but still a while before he’ll be ready to come home. He has his good days and bad days, luckily it’s more good than bad. Actually, recently he’s made major strides in his recovery, he’s now walking, eating (soft) foods, and just a couple of days ago washed his body for the first time. 
 

I also visited him at the hospital for the first time since he got admitted (I’ve been quite busy, obviously I’ve been chatting with him on FaceTime), and while I was happy to see him, it just made me incredibly sad, I really really hate seeing him like this. I also don’t like hospitals in general though lol, have some bad memories from them. I will also point out that he does get exhausted after 10 minutes or so, so the visiting didn’t last long.  

Good news everyone! 

 

Today, my dad is finally coming home from the hospital!  
 

Still a long road to recovery (3-6 months approximately, could be shorter or longer), but super grateful that his condition has continued to improve these past few months.
 

Just wanted to thank all of the Totallympians on here for all of the support within the last couple of months, some even sent me get well soon messages. I really appreciate it
