    Is anyone watching the olympics? We were in "sitting on the couch staring at our phones" mode and my girlfriend suggested it.

    So, we had to hunt down an app on Roku since we don't have cable TV. This was a pain in the ass because there are "highlight" apps that don't show shit. After one or two of those we Google'd it.

    Apparently, you have to sign up for some bullshit called Peacock that cost $10 a month. Lol, what? No dude. We're only passively interested in this (like I assume most people are), and have no interest in adding another service. Especially one I've never even heard of.

    You could sign-in with your XFinity account, but you have to have cable. Jesus Christ. So, clearly, we said fuck it, and started watching Ozarks last season again. Why make it such a pain in the ass? Just stream it free and make money on ads. The ratings must be shit this year, because I can't imagine people care enough to sign up for whatever-the-fuck Peacock is just to watch cross-country skiing.

    • My wife downloaded a chinese app from Apple App Store that has lots of coverage. She's been watching with the kids.microkorg
    • CBC (Canada) probably has easy to access free coverage
