Working Around NBCOlympics.com's Stupid Restrictions


NBCs online video system is that access to some videos (encore and live videos, for example) is restricted if your cable provider doesn't participate.

The workaround I found? Select another zip code and known big-name provider for that are. I personally selected 97403 (a Eugene zip code) and Comcast and was able to get in fine. So just get a zip code for one of Comcast's markets and use it, since Comcast appears to be participating


Wired Wiki has a great bit on how to watch the Olympics online.
