Olympic Programming Help Thread

[jaywbigred]

Given NBC's splintered, time shifted, hard to follow coverage, I thought it might make sense to have a thread where we can help each other find an event on a certain cable platform, online, etc...

For instance, I was browsing Fios listings for today's US Men's hockey game, which I learned was on at 3 pm (EST) from http://www.nbcolympics.com/event-results-schedules/index.html

I see that, after logging into my Fios account, I can watch it live online (at work) through this link: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/live-full-replays.html

But I couldn't find it in my Fios listings online:

http://www36.verizon.com/fiostv/web/members/TVListings.aspx

in order to remotely set my DVR to record it, just in case I missed it, had a client call, etc...

Finally, I found out via
http://www.nbcolympics.com/tv-listings/zone=ET/day=7/time=900/tv.html

that it was on USA at 3 pm, live. So, despite the fact that my Fios listings told me that that time slot would be "USA vs. Denmark Men's Curling," I have now set my DVR to record what I hope/believe will be the hockey game.

I just set my DVR to record "Winter Olympics" as a series recording and to record on all channels. I may miss some events here and there but so far it's doing a good job keeping up.

Root, I did too, but it seems to have missed a few things, and a lot of them are mislabeled. Plus, doesn't help if you want to watch something live.
