    My wife and I have been driven to despair by the appalling coverage of the Olympics by NBC, plus the lack of access to BBC/Canadian TV/Internet sites (which I believe have been blocked by NBC Universal, now owned by Comcast).

    I’ve been reading about people using VPNs (virtual private networks) to access BBC, etc. Any West Seattleites going rogue to view proper coverage of the Games? If so, how’s it been so far?

    (Your first-hand experiences with NBC’s coverage also welcome. Has anyone actually paid to access the premium NBC cable channels featuring the Games? If so, how’s the coverage?)

    You don’t need a VPN, it’s just a matter of routing to get BBC videos. Here is the blow by blow:
