I am a cheap hacker. I’m not really a coder, but I’ve always been fascinated with hackers. I have learned how to implement much of what they create, but never been left-brained enough to do it myself. Plus I’m not very malicious… only white hat. I have always been a rebel, so it is fun to subvert any system- including paid television.
STOP the BS and show me how to watch the Olympics NOW!!
OK, follow these two links and you will be watching the Olympics and some of the different channels right now via streaming.

(if these links do not work, then look below at how to find your own…)
If you would like to watch the streams on your TV, you simply need to hook a laptop or a device up to your TV via HDMI cable, or buy a digital casting system. I currently use ChromeCast, but you can also use AppleTV,. With a cast device, you simply mirror your device to your TV wirelessly.
A great paid alternative to cable is Sling TV. The $25 a month plan includes NBCSports and the Olympic affiliate channels(Bravo, USA, MSNBC, and CNBC). It is like Netflix, it’s streams through your device, and is not on a contract.
How do I find these streams?
I always start with Reddit. To find whatever sports streams you’re looking for, Google: (sport) Reddit stream. Last year I watched the entire NFL season this way.
Tip: don’t always use Google. Google blocks content that it believes is copyright infringement. I still use Google first, but use DuckDuckGo as an alternative.
Google is censored. Google is a corporate site that is beholding to its business affiliates. However they still have the best search algorithm.
Still can’t watch the Olympics? The next step would be to watch it on NBC.com, but you need to confirm a cable subscription. If you have a family member or a neighbor that uses cable or satellite, you can just take your device over to them and have them login themselves and confirm their account on NBC.com. Then you can watch all the Olympics there… I just don’t know anybody that pays for that stuff. All my friends are cord-cutters.
Cheers! Mars
