NBC Olympics

You suck NBC - I want LIVE Olympic coverage - Thanks to NBC trying to make more money, the rest of the world gets to watch the Olympics live, but we in the US get stuck with 12 hour delayed coverage.

It's so annoying - on the official Olympic website: http://en.beijing2008.cn/
If you are from the US you are prevented from watching the live videos from other countries. This is such crap. I hate you NBC.

Anyone know any ways around this? (other than moving to another country =)

Absolutely worst coverage I have seen in a long time. Will quit watching any further Olympic events going forward. Mikaela Shiffrin skies out a second time in a row and NBC stops coverage of all other competitors?! Completely missing the point of what the Olympics are all about.
Viewers also shouldn't be forced into paying extra money to sign up for Peacock in order to able to watch an important event like the Olympics.

Once again your coverage of the Olympics is a dumpster fire! Running the same sports on 2 channels at the same time is NOT giving us good content. I think someone needs to retool the entire Olympics coverage, you have enough channels and yet you run the same thing on 2 or 3 channels leaving tons of content off the air. I wish someone at NBC Sports gets a clue or Olympics will no longer be on NBC or the pay for channels. You should be ashamed of your coverage!

Worst coverage of any sporting event or olympics I have ever seen. Have watched more minutes of commercials than of events. Listings show events but when you tune in at that time, they are showing some other event. When twice I actually saw the event I wanted to see, NBC showed part of it then informs me that I an watch the rest on Peacock... wtf. This is NOT coverage, it is "lets sell advertising and Peacock subscriptions" I now really worry about NBC having superbowl. I expect the first quarter on NBC, 2nd quarter on usa but when you tune in to usa you get half time show after which announcer will tell you second half to be broadcast live on Peacock

Watching the women's short track skiing: Greedy NBC is splitting the screen 60% / 40% to run long strings of commercials during live competition! Because of their larger portion of the screen, the commercials totally the audio of the games and take away the ability of viewers to see the Olympic action's scoring results. UNBELIEVABLY incompetent broadcasting. NBC is clearly the greediest Olympic coverage network of all time. I will never again watch their network for any sports coverage. Grrrr!

They say they are working on it, but how do you ignore Apple users before the most important sports broadcasts in 5 years! AppleTV remote controls are disabled for all replay and live broadcasts on the NBCOlympics.com app. Yikes! No stop, no jump, no rewind and if you discontinue a replay for any reason, you have to start at the beginning. For most 2-3 hour events, this is obsurd. BTW, the ads actually interrupt play. Could it be advertising dollars greed at work? Doubtful, as the engineering misstep is just too egregious. I complained to Apple that NBC is ripping off its customers. Maybe that will help. ~ErgonomicsDr

Worst coverage in memory. Too many comercials. Yes it takes 28+ minutes but still has strategy. They did a split screen with no sound. It was a waist of effort in my opinion.

Isnt it enough that the current political climate of the world is in turmoil? Do we have to make it worse by mentioning political atrocities as different countries march into the stadium during the opening ceremonies. This is supposed to be about athletic competition on a global scale... however the NBC commentary is anything but and creates more of a stressful and emotionally draining viewing experience for everyone involved! Having two people on (one Chinese, one American) to amplify the situations even further just made it worse. Why not interview some athletes from different countries highlighting their struggles with training, traveling or success stories? Shame on you NBC... in addition,
1. Why even mention Putin and Ukraine... so unnecessary!
2. Do you have to announce that certain countries "have not won a gold medal since 1938"? Focus on the positive... don't belittle the countries or the athletes... we (USA) sound like such snobs.
3. I'm in the middle of the opening and the commentary is even worse regarding the above comments I have already outlined.
4. Do your homework about one athlete from each country and your broadcast becomes positive, intriguing and full of humanity!

Please ask them not to trash the Ollympics with politics and personal miss-informed word throwing on the Chinese. If the 2022 Winter Olympics were held in Germany, the NBC hosts would hit the Germans with Nazi remarks and personal view point, Germans are not Nazis, and I would not want you to talk about what I feel during the Olympics in my country, if I was Chinese, or any other country for that matter.

Please filter out the background announcements ASAP. We can't understand a thing on what the announcer is saying on majority of events. This coverage is the worst I've experienced from NBC

So frustrating trying to enjoy these Olympics! More commercials than anything else! The split screen view is horrible! I get up and leave.

I don't think you have any idea that we cannot hear anything you commentators are saying. The music is great.

Could you please tell Tara Lapinski and Johnny Weir not to talk so much, I can't hear the music or enjoy the performance.
Thank you
