BBC will have 2 main TV channels showing coverage and analysis BBC ONE and BBC FOUR.

 

Plus, 8 dedicated HD BBC Olympic TV channels 

 

And up to 24 online HD live streams on the BBC Sport website showing every single second of live sport from the Olympics. 

 

24 live streams showing everything you are so lucky...we have 8..well still long road to equal the west...but at least there at least those 8

Dont worry. With a VPN account (about 7 or 8 euro for one month) everyone is able to watch the bbc internet streams (or any other freely accessible stream from public television websites). During the winter olympics of 2014 I mostly watched webcasts of Canadian public television as the Hungarian TV showed very little apart from the ice hockey tournament.

 

But for now they have two 0-24 HD channels (M4 Sport and M5) to show the Olympics plus a not yet told number of webcasts. But I think I will still need that VPN for next month to watch the BBC or Canadian Public TV web-casts

I tried Hola VPN (free), mentioned in this topic today, and can confirm it works with BBC iPlayer and rai.it. Dont know how fast or slow it will be when the OG are on...

In Brazil we will have 3 free-to-air channels broadcasting Olympics (Globo, Bandeirantes and Record) broadcasting all day; plus all our main sports channels on cable (SporTV with 16 HD channels - they're the main holder, from Globo; two Fox Sports channels, Band Sports and the three ESPN channels). On internet, 56 signals from SporTV website (only for cable subscribers ).

But who needs that? BBC webcasts are viewable without restriction if you have a VPN (even the free Hola VPN that was mentioned in this topic) or there is the Canadian CBC at: http://olympics.cbc.ca/ it was accessible with VPN during the Sochi Olympics so I think it will be the same now. Both provide good quality English coverage.

NBC in the past used to require not only an american IP address but also cable TV subsriber info. So you couldnt use it even with a VPN.

 

Here is some more info about VPN access: https://thevpn.guru/watch-rio-2016-olympics-free-online-without-cable-live-stream-vpn-dns-proxy

First I will try the free Hola VPN to see if it works during the Olympics before giving out money for a paid VPN account
For the latter, https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/ might be a good choice. For Sochi I used www.ipvanish.com

There is no good free VPN, that's a fact. I have switched to TunnelBear after finding out what Hola does...
