I've got the Roku 3.

Do any of you Roku gurus know of any way I can stream winter olympic coverage on it? NBC's over the air coverage sucks so much, I want alternatives.

I don't have cable or TV FIOS, but do have data FIOS. I understand that NBC will let you stream if you have cable and use your cable account information to log into their streaming site. That doesn't help me.

I'd be happy to stream BBC or some other English speaking nation's coverage.

It seems like there must be some private channel somewhere that will let you stream the BBC or something. I've got the BBC news channel on Roku, but that's no good since it only reports a summary of each day with a couple short highlight clips, which is even worse than NBCs coverage.

I can poke around Google for an answer, but was hoping somebody already had one figured out here. For the summer olympics two years ago, I found a website that let me stream BBC on our ancient laptop, and that was great, but I'd like to watch on our bigger screen TV through the Roku.

When the Olympics are over, after he's crushed the Ukrainians, Putin's gonna personally kick your ass.
