How to watch the Winter Olympics online on a budget
The Winter Olympics are here, and every live event is (finally) on Peacock

The 2022 Winter Olympics are here, and finding coverage online has gotten easier since the Summer Games in Tokyo last year.

For instance, the Winter Games in Beijing mark the first time NBC, which owns broadcast rights to the Olympics, is making all of its live coverage available to people who pay for its streaming service, Peacock. That means you won’t find yourself wondering why you can’t find NBC content on an NBC-owned streaming platform. And at $4.99 a month, it’s a small price to pay for a few weeks of Olympics access.

1. I did the same thing and have been enjoying it.

All organized according to sport and gives the times clearly.
And I can go back and watch the skating later.

Well worth every penny.

2. Not used to watching commercials and the same ones repeat over and over and over

The guy knitting everything
Crohn’s disease
Mathew McConaughey
Etc.

3. And Manny saying,

"That's what I do." No idea what the commercial is for. I looked up what McConnaughy was flogging, and still have no idea what it is.

One good thing came out of the commercials--I learned about the Polestar. Can't afford one, of course, but now at least I know what they are.

4. There's great content there, too...

A Brave New World was their first original series... I thought it was excellent. But, be prepared for orgies.

They are turning Battlestar Galactica into a new franchise... And, I am all in for that!

5. For me it is easier to wake up in the morning

And not be too disappointed that NZ is (for the moment) leading the US in gold medalling.
