Yeah, I found that out as well. I have T-W cable Internet, but we don’t have TV.
The Olympic stream site asks you for your provider - I entered Time Warner.
It showed about 5 frames of video then announced that I didn’t have the right service level.
I want to watch the thing on NBC Internet, but they won’t let me watch it on the net, because.... I don’t have TV.
How stupid is that?
I do have a qualifying Cable to watch via the Internet streams.
Earlier today, I was watching some of the men’s gymnastics. The feeds kept buffering — due to streaming problems from Youtube.
I have a feeling those streams are going to be overwhelmed and the effort will turn out to be a flop. Too many would rather watch the ‘out of context’ venues without the incessant commentaries.
I used Tunnelbear method for the opening ceremonies and it worked.

I have the appropriate level of cable so I haven’t tried any of these.
I thought NBC did a pretty good job of the with the opening ceremonies. Maybe a little too much splainin from the talking heads.
Internet coverage of every event is nice.
