With ilikehd, which has Rio 1-9 and BBC1, 2 and 4 showing the Olympics, it's still potluck what's on, what's coming up, but I always find something to watch (it obviously has a British bias so maybe not to the taste of you non-Brits).

 

The BBC coverage is disgraceful: hysterical , one-eyed, pathetic. A pity because they have some great special comments people: Chris Hoy and the like but Claire Balding is just awful. It's as if GB is the only country in the games.

Have you looked at Thai TV coverage on ch. 33, Truevisions?

BBC Biased? the country is 3rd in medal tables, its shows the winners in all sports  . You need to watch thai tv. If its not a Thai competitor then theres NOTHING on the thai channels. In fact maybe its only Thailand versus a few other countries in the Olympics

^"Are those Rio channels in their FREE tier, or part of one of their paid packages???"

Sorry I'm a bit late with a response and the olympics ends soon. I have a sport package for ilikehd so can't answer if Rio channels are in their FREE tier, but try this. If you register with ilikehd I'm pretty sure you can watch their FREE channels without paying for any credit, but if not pay for ilikehds cheapest package (the 2hr package which gives you access to everything) and check out if the Rio channels are of interest.

I've been in the UK for most of it: BBC coverage was painfully bad ( with the exception of Michael Johnson, Chris Hoy and Denise xxxxx). The hysteria over GB's very good performance meant that many of the other highlights of the program went unseen ( but endless repeats of even minor GB successes). The German and French coverage was much more balanced.
