I think most of us would love to catch the best TV live streaming channels. I have always been extremely grateful for some of the suggestions and links given which helped me catch some of the live streaming action in odd events, heats and also twitter feeds and blogs of athletes/ foundations/ NOCs. so it would be great if they are all available at one single point.

watching an official channel of another country 

 

1.  Install a VPN browser extension. One of the easiest ways to watch The Olympics from a country without online coverage or when you don't have a cable provider is to install a VPN extension for your browser. This will allow you to visit another country's broadcasting website (Canada's CBC or UK's BBC, for example) and trick it into thinking you're visiting from within the country.

  • You can install VPN extensions for both Firefox and Chrome. These extensions are available for free, but may be ad-supported. Popular extensions include Hola, MediaHint, and ZenMate.
  • Use this method if you live in the US but don't have a cable subscription, or if you live in a country that doesn't have official streaming broadcasting of the games.

2. Switch your browser to the target country. If you plan on watching through the CBC player, click the extension icon in your browser and select a Canadian server. Your traffic will be routed through that server on the way to the CBC site, making it think you are visiting from within Canada.

 

  • If you want to watch through the BBC site, use a UK server.
  1. 3. Watch the streaming video. You should now be able to access the streaming content as if you were normally accessing the site. You may experience some delay and slow connections as data is transferred between the proxy server, the website, and you.

Olympics is a huge event & hence I have a feeling that youtube will be showing live streaming of each & every sport throughout each day & won't have geolocation restriction. So don't think anyone would need to use proxy/vpn browser extension

some of the well known sports streaming channels 

 

 There are a variety of sites that will stream live events. These are not official sites, and finding a working stream can be a little difficult. The plus side, however, is that you don't need to install any browser plugins in order for them to work. Some of the more popular sites include:

  • FirstRowSports
  • Stream2Watch
  • SportLemon
  • WiZiWiG
  • AllSport Live

 

I am not sure if any of  you have used some of these do tell me which are the best

Nbc doing it here and for the most part its awesome because they show literally everything live except maybe ceremony.  Most events are also available on demand right after.  However the big issue is that the main sports sometimes are not available for on demand until after the primetime broadcast in the evening.   So any country offering immediate playback features for every event that i can get through a vpn

Star Sports has the official rights in India. So their official website starsports.com & partner site hotstar.com should show live streaming.  Government and free-to-air channels like DD National, Doordarshan, DD Sports will also be telecasting the event live

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
