Canadians! How to watch the Olympics!

I think the commentary’s pretty good.[/QUOTE]

I’m not getting any commentary at all? I can hear sound (hoofbeats, horse breathing, etc) so I know the sound is working, but there is no commentary.

That’s why it’s pretty good. They don’t talk through the whole thing.

Thank for providing the link…pretty shabby when the national federation gives you the American links…

Maybe the other poster is American and have commentary via NBC or USEF.

I am on CBC and there is no commentary on mine either.

The Cbc app works great on my smartphone. I can watch everything live or restart without any buffering. Not too many ads either.

It’s back on in now with Kathryn Robinson.

Canadian rider on deck!!!

Kathryn Robinson and Let It Bee score 48.5!

This is great (minus lack of commentary). So great to watch Blue (yay Fred!) and Let It Bee pull it off despite the Shitshow selection circus. Anyone know if video of xc day will be available on demand? I’ll be driving all day:(

Looks like CBC has replay - yeah!

Just did a test run of today’s dressage and it is good. I found it on the same page as all the live stuff but a bit farther down the page. Excellent news because I do actually have to go to work on Monday and really want to see Xcountry.

Did anyone else loose the live video feed on CBC online live video? Just before Mark Todd went in :mad:
All I get is “video live feed not working or not available in your area”. So I missed the last riders.
I’ve checked the other sports and I get the same comment.

just attempted to watch the replay of Jess and Blue - and it says the video isn’t available. Also headed over to NBC and much the same…Anyone have some insight to know why this is so?

Try this link:

Hope that works - took me quite a while to find it.

Are you Canadian? The CBC website checks for a Canadian IP address (for sure for the live stream, and likely for the replays). If you’re not using a computer in Canada, you’ll have to go through a proxy.

proudly Canadian, and a devout CBC listener/TV fan!!

How exciting for you Fred! Are you the owner or the breeder?

From what I know, Blue’s owners bred her dam to Fred…
Still, what a thrill… she is beautiful!

Hmm…maybe try a different browser? I’m using Chrome and it’s been working great all day. If you’re using an outdated browser, try upgrading?
