I can't get the video to work on Safari or Firefox (mac of course). Have flip 4 mac installed and it plays the opening 20sec. intro then just goes blank. Any other canadians having this problem or is it a mac thing?
Also, can't watch NBC online because it's only for americans.
I also don't own a tv so thought I'd try check some of the games out online. Might just have to go to the pub to do it.

was hoping for live feed. I can watch the highlights after they've happened but the streaming video won't work.

what does CBC stand for?

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, just like BBC in the U.K.

Try here. I think they're broadcasting live some events (portuguese comments):

I have no problems here.
At first I couldn't see shit coz I did not have flip4mac installed, but then I installed it and quit my browsers and boom! the video stream was there in all its glory.
- Weird, I still can't get it going and I did same as you.eegrek
- Oh... and I am using the latest version of FF and flip4mac 2.2 (although the site says it requires the 1.1 version)VectorMasked

These 4 sites have mostly football (sawker) streams but also have other sports, live! I myself tend to use them to watch some EPL and La liga action.

eegrek,
pretty sure you have, but make sure you have the latestestest version of quicktime installed.

There's at least 3 different sports being cast live here. gymnastics (link above), volleyball and swimming. I guess you're not supposed to watch them all.

Oh wait. didn't realise you are on a Macintosh.

i can get CBC streaming as well... works fine here. I have flip 4 mac configured to open a new quicktime window.. try that, it works well for me.. plus you can go full screen.

Live feed:
Some Australian dude just won a gold medal, kicking the favourite (Hansen - US) by 0.4s (backstroke swimming);
Gold medal for Holland (4x100 women freestyle swimming) - Fantastic win;
Chinese team is kicking everyone's butt in all styles of gymnastics.

I've been watching CBC a little bit, fuckin US channels don't seem to have things live.... I can't find a *good schedule anywhere and it seems different events are all over different stations...
... it seems like programming anarchy.

So I actually disabled the flip for mac prgram, and it opens in windows media player where I can actually resize the thing to full window. Weird solution considering on their help page they recommend installing flip4mac ... and yet when I uninstalled it it worked. That's the CBC for 'ya, Canadian tax dollars hard at work. I'm so glad TSN snagged the HNIC theme song.
