Oh I am ranting and raving over here, stupid NBC and Comcast are not showing it. We all get to watch clips on a stupid daytime show. I am so furious, I am going to take my bunting down and wrapping it around the local Comcast's stupid neck.

OOOOOO and ANY coverage that we CAN watch, is 4 bloody hours AFTER it has actually finished.

That's bad form Juliet, can't you find a web site that streams live feeds? I think the BBC have got extra channels.

There is a Comcast Xfinity tv app that is streaming the Olympics. Would that work for you?

BBC coverage is closing as I type, try the I player. I can't believe I watched the ceremony from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it.

07/27/2012 07:57:08 PM · #15

Athletics, cycling, weightlifting, and a sneaky look at the woman's volleyball will be the events I will be following.

I just turned into a You Tube whore. I just watched the Queen's entrance 1st time she has ever been in a movie and one of the corgi's is actually her mothers, The Late Queen Mother. Then watched Mr Bean,,, a national institute and treasure.

Now off to see what else I can find!!!

I am so excited, I get to see something, I am now NOT taking my fairy cakes and splattering them all over Comcast's window (who happen to be 1 mile down my road) and shoving my buntings down their customer service desk necks!!! HA

Who will be watching our newest Olympic sport, women's boxing! I'm not surprised that the British decided to kick out baseball, but I just can't see the Queen enjoying a couple of welter weight women going three rounds.

I am Arizona time, if I got my calculations correct, it should have started at 4.30pm for us. Or if I am wrong then 11.30.

One of the reason's I am so darn upset, is my parents 'won' tickets to the opening ceremony, hurdling and closing, I was meant to go. BUT I didn't fly over this year as British bloody airways wanted $12,000 for 2 adult and 2 children tickets in COACH. I curse them too for raising their prices 3 time their normal rate.

So stuck in AZ, thinking I could watch it here, not even thinking that I should do some research as to whether it would be broadcaster here. So All NBC/Comcasts, British Airways fault and for me being a stingy bastard!~

Prrrrrrftttttttttttttttt
