Constantly laggy, slow, and freezing up. Nothing else is like this. It's not my internet.



Nah - I've switched between a laptop and several TVs and it's fine. It froze one time on my laptop where I had to log back in. I've left it playing for hours at a time.

The worst coverage EVER of the Olympics on the network. They show the live events during the day and the REPEAT them at night. There are so many events they should not need to repeat what we already saw during the day.

I think it’s more like 3 minutes of ads for every 4 minutes of athletes— on a channel we are already paying for!

Yes, you can watch EVERYTHING and limited ads and the interface is easy to use.

I dropped cable and subscribed to YouTube TV for live tv. They have full Olympics coverage from all of the NBC Universal channels.

Superbowl will be broadcast on NBC, free with an antenna.


And on peacock where you don't need an antenna that doesn't work most of the time.


Who has an antenna?

. With a Navy Fed credit union account you can watch for free w a download via the app.

It was probably just marked incorrectly. The event schedules are easy to look up in every time zone and none are taking place then.

That seems really unlikely
