Canadians! How to watch the Olympics!

sorry if already posted - no time to look -streaming now

The BBC version has commentary! Watching it with the help of Hola.

Oops, I just yelled 'Ohh SHIT" in my cube farm when that horse went down. Ouch! Hope he’s ok.

ETA: It was the Polish Rider Pawel something, didn’t catch the full name. Poor little chestnut got back up but looked off on right hind :frowning:

I did the exact same thing! They showed the horse walking a bit later and he wasn’t gimping so badly, so hopefully he just stung himself.

Has anyone found a link to XC on demand? Couldn’t watch live today and would love to catch the replays.

Canadians can watch online: http://olympics.cbc.ca/video/live/equestrian-aug-eventing-cross-country.html

For Equestrian- says no data available for today- maybe means no streaming of the grand prix? I guess we’ll see. Please post if you find it. Cant watch much today but hoping for archives.

Hmm…I thought earlier this morning it just wasn’t up yet as the competition starts at 9, but I can’t find anything now either. How strange that they wouldn’t stream this online? I assume the venue is the same as the eventing dressage so there would be cameras/feed there.

Hmmm. Friday schedule shows the Special.

Doesn’t appear to be showing today by CBC. I have no idea why they would just decide not to stream this? Oh well…

Could be an error-bbc and nbc are streaming it. CBC streamed all the eventing including the dressage so it is odd.

Live scoring Gp

Hey Crockpot - here’s an actual working link (you do need a VPN. I installed the Hola extension in Chrome and it works perfectly): http://nos.nl/rio2016/

something got lost!!
I asked the question on the cbc FB page,but who knows who would answer!

It is unfortunate- why did they stream all the eventing dressage but not this- makes no sense.

I am not going the VPN route because crashed my computer a few years ago for a different olympics. :wink:

Looks like cbc will stream the Special and the freestyles so that should be enough I guess for this sad dressage nerd.:sadsmile::wink:

Ok, apparently this is a non-VPN-needed free stream: http://www.olympicstreams.me/equestrian

A few people I know on FB say they are watching using this.

Olympicstreams.me works in Canada as long as you can close all the pop ups

But you have to create an account… FREE but then why do they want my CC # even though they say they won’t charge it… If you won’t charge it, you don’t need it.
I have too much to do and dressage is not my thing, but they better be streaming Jumping!!

Yes. Me too. Not going there- no way giving my credit card #:eek:

pretty sure I can find the GP rides I want to see later and very happy if can watch the GPS and Freestyles later:)

Got a reply on cbc fb page (and lots of other complaints!!) and was told to also check TSN and SN which are also streaming, but I can’t find anything… and TSN is refusing my password, etc. proving that I am with Bell!! Sigh…
