NBC's online Olympics

I set up for the NBC package under Vista. However the video that was available was simply the same as was on their TV broadcasts, no live streaming as far as I could tell. Used DVR to capture the events I was interested in.

No live streaming? The most popular events were both broadcast live *and* streamed live; the less-popular events were all streamed live and available broadcast either live or via tape-delay (for example, women's soccer was streamed live in its entirety).

Oh....I had zero problems with my 2 GB/2.6 GHz P4 Northwood-C-driven Vista Ultimate box (with a mere X1650PRO AGP graphics card) with Silverlight (however, I have horrible issues with Flash 9) via CHSI Blast.

On why the NBC NFL site uses Adobe Flash; the content itself belong to the NFL, not NBC, and since the league is a Flash licensee (but not a Silverlight licensee), NBC was likely trapped into *settling* for Flash by the NFL.
