>ruins the Olympic experience for everyone in EuropaBooooooooTo think back in the 90s the Discovery Channel was what Yanks and freaks with a satellite dish here used to watch elephants shagging
>nooooo i disdain the fact that i can watch the olympics for an affordable priceif it was on sky i would have to pay 60 bucks a month (what i pay for d+ annually) and wouldn't be allowed to cancel for a year
>>142978429Paying?It used to be free here, constant live TV coverage with dozens of streams tooNow the BBC can only show stuff on one or two TV channels that Discovery lets them
Euro was like that too, 1 game per day out of three for free, the rest on bein
>>142978230>>142978429>>142978498Just do what us burgers and VPN to Canada to watch the CBC's coverage for free
I could watch every single olympic event for free on our news app back in 2012
>>142978555That's bad man, all on free TV here
>>142978230i havent used discovery plus but how does it compare to eurosport player from tokyo olympics? is there still the option for commentary in different languages and no comentary?
>>142978587I hope all you thieving fucks fall asleep during the Olympics and wake up to some nightmare like original Indigenous programming or Maritime comedy
>>142978498>that Discovery lets them- UK FTA Brodcast Protected Events- GROUP A PROTECTED EVENTS- 1. The Olympic GamesDiscovery doesnt have a choice, Olympics *have to* be shown on FTA in UK. How they actually decide that BBC can only show it on 2 channels and not all events digitally tho, idk. The 'protected events' Bill maybe doesnt cover digital, it was only designed to ensure that the FA Cup final, Wimbledon final, Grand National etc. could never be exclusively stolen by PayTV cunts
Max has been excellent for the Olympics so far hereI have a legacy sub so it's only $4/mo with zero ads and every event is coveredMuch better streaming quality than our public TV ever offered during Olympics Seems to be replays available for all events too
>>142978429Honestly, the price is absurdly good. I've paid £3.99 for everything through Discovery+. Fukin BBC to whom I pay the license fee of £170 a year has limited coverage.
>>142979468Same here, ARD/ZDF take 18 euros a month of public media fee from every household but d+'s 6 bucks have all events i would ever want to watch from like 3 different sports as well as the olympics and most tennis grand slams
>>142980217does Discovery+ also make Tatort tho? No?18 EUR on public broadcasting is well spent
>>142978230The commentary and presentation on this so far has been dogshit
Why are you letting this happen? Don't you actually have consumer rights there? Dont get jewed like us the state of entertainment in America is extremely grim
>>142978230discovery still exists? How the hell did they get rights to the olympics they should be bankrupt
>>142980970>>142981067the IOC sold *all* the European Rights to Warner Bros - Discovery parent - from 2018 to 2032 Games.And the IOC is literally a gang of corrupt lawyers shovelling banknotes up there arses as fast as they can in Switzerland. See also: FIFA, etc.
>>142978230You Only Had To Be Canadian
>>142981430well that's depressing as fuck for you guysWB is about as jewish as it gets and they don't have a great track record with sports. They mainly only do NBA here
>>142978230>that Discovery jewNo, thanks...
>>142979468Is it in 4k though ? because its 2024 now where 4k is your basic resolution.I think they will have b/w problems and priority will be given to Americans.
>>142985547post .pls
>>142979468>I've paid £3.99 for everything through Discovery+Yeah this is what I've done. I'll still watch the BBC's coverage here and there too.
>>142978498don't they realise that the reason the Olympics is relevant, is because everyone on earth has the ability to watch it?put it behind a paywall, and you've got a 2-week Netflix series of Gladiators. no one's going to be talking about what's happening, and no one will remember anything when it's over.
>>142987681kinda agree desulast olympics was by far the one i watched the least of simply cos it wasnt on the bbcwhole point is it's just there easynot having to go on fucking computeror app on your tv and all th is bollocks
>>142987009It's 1080p for the £3.99 offer but the stream quality has been very good so far
>paying to watch sports
>>142987983it's like paying for porn desu
>>142987983>Making an issue over 3.99
peacock has been fine, worth the 8 bucks
>>142988045now repeat for F1and cricketand snookerand golfwhy did my granddad get to watch all this shit for free, and i have to pay like 300 quid a year?
>>142988111because grandad made 300 quid a year
>>142978679Why are you upset that you have the best olympics broadcast? It should be a point of pride
>>142988257No since my taxes pay for the CBCs cdn bill and we also have an incoming conservative government who will use any excuse to try and kill public broadcasting .
The real question is where are the free streams??
