    Is there any link to watch the opening ceremony live, rather than wait 3-4 hrs to watch a taping? According to the official website the ceremony is in about 50 minutes.

    So OC is not going to be shown live here?

    If so, that is incredibly weak.

    NBC paid like 2.2 Billion, so you better wait damnit.

    You'll have to find some stream to watch it if you want to watch it live, and it won't be in English, unless it's in English.


    surprised first row doesn't have it.

    Can't expect a perverted mass performance coordinated by a dictatorship every Olympics.

    Agreed. Aside from the five rings coming together, there was just too much going on, on the field, for one to focus on.

    That's not weak at all.

    Nobody would be home on a Friday at 3 to watch this. They'd lose ratings if they showed it live.

    Showing it in primetime is always the best move.
