OK. We admit it. Our addiction to American TV far outweighs
our addiction to anything in the cereal aisle.
We were hoping that once we traveled down the rabbit hole
and popped out back in Asia, we could
figure out how to get cable or at least streamline the Summer Olympics.
The rabbit hole back to China was an Olympic obstacle course
in itself. Our flight odyssey from America
included two incidences of lost
luggage, one cancelled flight , a four hour rain delay on the runway and
roughly forty hours of less than desirable hygiene.
But the carrot of watching Michael Phelps in action made it
bearable.
While you can stream
online the Olympic games from www.NBColympics.com,
that coverage is only available in America (you need an active Cable
Subscription to access it). BBC streaming is only available in the UK.
So now we have a Chinese cable box with set up instructions
in Chinese.
Jeff thinks he can do it himself. If he can, he deserves a gold medal.
I’m thinking I should make
cookies for one of the tech guys at school and let them deal with it.
Once the cable box is set up, we’ll let you know how the Olympic coverage is in China. Will there be more commercials and special feature stories than actual coverage of the games?
Then after the games are over, we’ll let you know what the
prime time lineup includes in China. I’m guessing no No King of Queens,
Three and A Half Men or The Real Housewives of Kunming.
If anyone has any tips on how to stream the Olympics in
China in English, please let us know.
