Is there any way to download and save the Silverlight clips at http://www.nbcolympics.com to my hard drive or a DVD? If so, give me a simple explanation of how, as I am a complete newbie at this.

I have internet service but no cable tv service, so our household has been forced to miss nearly all of the winter olympics. Although NBC is a horrible joke, during the summer olympics we were able to watch nearly any and every event online with that stupid siliverlight program and got to watch roughly 15 LIVE events per day. Their olympics coverage is a complete joke. The only thing I ever being shown on TV is USA coverage and the last time I checked there are a few other nations competing and this is an extremely important world event. NBC is a joke, I bet VH1 could do a better job broadcasting the olympics

I have caught just a few events on http://atdhe.net but only a few and the vast majority of the real events that I wanted to watch I have simply missed since I don’t pay for precious, useless Cable TV service. Thank god for torrent.

And let us thank our lucky stars, we won't miss a single valuable episode of Days of Our Lives during the Olympics, heaven forbid they let that happen...

Today the Nordic Combined Ski Jumping started out live on NBC, but then when NBC went to commercials, they came back at the same point they left off. So they progressively became more and more tape delayed. This is the equivalent of watching a golf game with Tiger Woods playing. The station starts out live but then covers it as though every stoke of Tiger is live. Stupidest thing ever! So by the time Tiger Woods is at the 16th hole on the tape delayed NBC coverage, the tournament is already over and Tiger Woods won. Absolutely ridiculous! All they have to do is say "this is what happened moments ago during the commercial break" and then go back to live coverage.

Then last night, the short track semi-final race with American short track skater J.R. Celski happened while NBC was greedily extending their commercial break. The second semi-final 1500M short track race had no Americans, so NBC went to commercials, by the time the long commercial break was over, the third semi-final 1500M short track race had already taken place.

Don't get me started on the NBC's luge coverage last night. NBC was airing the 1st round of luge on tape delayed, while the 2nd round of luge was going on in Vancouver! So NBC could have showed the 2nd round of luge live, but why show a live event when you can show tape delayed, right? NBC = absolutely maddening.

To anyone reading this who thinks: "who cares if the events are taped delayed 10 minutes", I respond, they let's tape delay the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl, you can find out who wins online 10 minutes before you see it on TV. The Super Bowl comes once every year, the Winter Olympics comes every four years and rarely do they come to an American time zone (Pacific Time Zone).

The two sporting events I love don't revolve around the American obsession of throwing as many mind-numbing commercials in as possible: The World Cup and The Winter Olympics. For both of these, I enjoy watching the entire world play LIVE, I don't watch to cheer for Americans only. I am stunned ESPN does not break in for commercials during the World Cup games for the sake of good ol' American greed. They show the entire 45 minutes halves commercial free!! They have advertising in the corner of the screen, something NBC should do for live coverage. (Hint, hint, NBC)

NBC, giving ulcers and heart attacks to die-hard Winter Olympic fans, wants to kill off the people who watch their coverage. I know one of my favorite events is on right now live, the biathlon, but I too pissed to watch it.

NBC should give advice to CBS for March Madness coverage: have all games on tape delay!!! Show most games 2-8 hours after they happen!! That will make all March Madness fans happy! Right? If it is good enough for the Olympics, it is good enough for March Madness. (BTW, I love March Madness, it's my favorite yearly sporting event, so CBS better not do anything like that. Like the Olympics, I enjoy watching ALL teams play, not just my team.)

For those in Europe you also have http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/olympics/ which is provided by the European Broadcasting Union.

They stream six streams live as well as the IOC news channel. There is a final stream which provides certain content in High definition.

You can’t be more right. I hope nobody will watch NBC coverage of the Olympics. They dont show EVENTS they just show american athlets stories – nothing more!!! It is stupid, stupid, stupid.
In the Internet age I can’t even watch FREE NBC programming on the internet!!! WHY??? Complete idiots. Oh I hope they loose big, big money!!!
No, I do NOT wish Americans to win ANYTHING – you know why? Because those guys at NBC will lose BIG MONEY!!!
Sorry to the great athlets!
