The Olympics is/are happening. Are you watching? Did you get to see the events that you want to see?
If you're watching the Olympics on the tellie, you will only be able to see a small fraction of the action. The ideal setup would be an HDTV with TIVO and broadband service. Even then, you'll only get the events that are popular enough to get covered.

NBC has built up a nifty little online video player specifically for Olympic Coverage. Its great to be able to watch whatever event you want to watch whenever you want to watch it. Thats what the NBC is providing.
But its not perfect. The video quality isnt great. Some videos are literally hours long, so it can be hard to find a specific point in the video clip. Also, it uses Microsoft Silverlight, so you'll have to download that if you havent already.
