Grahame Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Comcast Segmented Advertising ? , Blech! Possibly not, If I were a Mac user, and say, combined iPlayer Automator , and say a UK proxy , possibly * * so you can make intelligent comments in the "what have you been watching then, mum" phone conversations Quote
crappyjones123 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 does anyone else find themselves trying to suppress a very strong urge to slap the commentators on nbc right now? why not just shut the fuck up and let us enjoy the ceremony... Quote

That's why I'm watching the (*pausable*) BBC coverage, with no ads either ... Quote
blessingx Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Grahame I know you passed along the proxy info above, but know any other way to stream? Fuck Olympic-Cable police. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 So I totally missed it, how was Mike Oldfield's part of the performance? What did he do besides bang that enormous tubular bell? Quote

shellylh Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Olympics, of course: Women's weightlifting (48kg weight class - snatch), USA vs Col women's soccer, USA vs S. Korea women's volleyball, men's gymnastics. How am I supposed to accomplish anything in the next two weeks? Quote
blessingx Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Was probably tired from the jump. Fun fashion rankings. Quote
Absorbine_Sr Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 So I totally missed it, how was Mike Oldfield's part of the performance? What did he do besides bang that enormous tubular bell? Oldfield played guitar for the most part, although I was screaming because the insipid US broadcast team would not shut the fuck up and talked over most of Tubular Bells. My favorite viewing today was the Women's Foil Fencing. Those girls were pretty badass. Quote

blessingx Posted August 2, 2012 Report Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Another thing to watch for at the Olympics... Kevin Lee, chief executive of Sol Republic, said he did not know that Phelps would be wearing his company’s headphones during the Games. He said he was thrilled, but not surprised, that so many Olympians were using premium models. Edited August 2, 2012 by blessingx Quote
swt61 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 I think it's short for SHIT ON LOBES. So happy Michael beat Ryan last night. I like Ryan too, but this is Phelps last hurrah. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 Hey hey hey hey hey -- "Sol" is the name of the star around which we orbit. Sol Republic is just a brand. Quote
