Olympics Fans Find Ways to Circumvent NBC's Online Control

It took Jason Legate, a Walnut Creek, California-resident, all of 10 minutes to connect his computer to a London-based server and access BBC's coverage of the Olympics Saturday, thereby circumventing NBC's lock on coverage in the United States.

The 31-year-old system administrator said he has watched at least 12 hours of live BBC coverage (his favorite sport so far - judo) since he set up a virtual private network (VPN) connection to send all his Internet traffic to a server in London.

Legate is one of many viewers who, turned off by NBC's ironclad control of access to Olympics coverage in the United States and spotty online streaming, has resorted to a workaround--sometimes legal, sometimes not--to watch the Games when and how they want on feeds from countries such as the UK and Canada.

People who are that smart scare the heck out of me.

Personally, I am of the belief that all channels that you pay for should be available to stream on your phone. I normally don’t watch much NBC but I have been tuning in to all of their cable channels to watch the games. I can’t really get behind an app like theirs that is so full of restrictions, bugs and worst of all, limited use. What good is it when the games are over? I prefer to watch the games on my big HDTV but due to my work schedule at DISH I have had to resort to watching on my phone. I didn’t exactly circumvent NBC because I am still streaming their channels to my phone, but I have control AND I can still continue to use my DISH Remote Access app when the games are over
