We’ve Partnered With NBC To Bring You More Olympics Than Ever

I remember watching the 1988 Summer Olympics as a kid lying on my parent’s living room floor in front of a large TV with an even larger antenna and fuzzy picture. What is almost as amazing as the athletic feats of our men and women Olympians are the vast changes and improvements to technology over the last few decades.

This summer, as a customer of Time Warner Cable, I’ll have the ability to watch the London 2012 Summer Olympics from almost any device, anywhere and anytime I’d choose. Time Warner Cable has partnered with NBCUniversal to provide its customers unprecedented access to NBCUniversal’s more than 5,535 hours of Olympic programming (the most ever coverage of the Olympics, across multiple platforms, including:

Live coverage on NBC’s cadre of networks, such as NBC, NBC Sports Network, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo and Telemundo.
Two specialty channels devoted solely to coverage of the basketball and soccer competitions.
For the first time ever a 3D channel is available, showing 242 hours of Olympic coverage in 3D on a next-day delay.
The NBC Olympics Live Extra and NBC Olympics apps are available this year for mobile devices and tablets. They provide live streaming and event replays from NBCOlympics.com and include short-form highlights, schedules, results, columns and more. Time Warner Cable customers must verify their subscriptions to use the apps by registering with MyServices first.
Of course, On Demand footage of NBCUniversal’s full-event coverage and highlights is available in a variety of sports.

To learn more and to find the channel listings in your area, visit www.NBCOlympics.com. Don’t forget, the Game’s Opening Ceremonies are Friday night, July 28 beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Wow, sounds great. Too bad I get an error every time I try to log in to the Olympic live stream. Par for the course for Time Warner. I was looking forward to watching while away from home.

Someone PLEASE provide the channel number for the 3D Olympic coverage in New York City.

I cannot locate the information anywhere on the TWC website. My local office did not know this channel number.

What are the channel numbers for the “two specialty channels devoted solely to basketball and soccer”? I haven’t been able to find them.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Sally – the stream is from NBCOlympics.com so I can’t speak to it, but chances are it doesn’t start until after the Games do.

Mike – the 3D Olympic coverage is on channel 484.

Jose H. – please tell me what area you live in and I can find out the channel locations for you.

Hi Jose H., The Channel numbers in the Rio Grande Valley are the following:

NBC Soccer Channel – 994
NBC Basketball Channel – 995

They are both HD Channels. Let me know if you need any other channel numbers.

The stream did start before the opening ceremonies – I was interested in all of the soccer matches. Missed most of them. I contacted time warner via chat, phone, and email. No one could fix the issue. All 3 times my issue was escalated which meant I waited over 40 minutes in chat, 30 minutes on the phone, and 2 days later, my last email has not been answered. I would happily pay more to watch the Olympics online, but no one can tell me what the issue is. So frustrating.

I get the same message as Sally and the games have started. No one at support seems to be able to help.

Sally I initially got an error message on Safari, but Firefox worked fine. Now Safari works, go figure.

I get the error “Authorization Error – there was an error communicating with your providor”.

Looks like no Olympics app for me either. I’ve tried repeatedly with no luck.

Today, July 28, 2012, I tried to log on to the NBCOlympics.com livestream several times, but I was unsuccessful. Each time I got the following TWC error message:

I have been trying to login to nbcolympic.com with my Timewarner account and it keeps on giving me error regardless the type of browser I am using. Another word, it’s worthless for not being able to stream live.

Too bad it doesn’t work and I get an error message every time I try to log in.
Have been on the phone with tech reps for the past two days, and they can’t figure it out.
Way to deliver TWC!

Still no 3d Olympics in NYC! Called the first day and they claim it had sound at one point but no picture . But when I first tried it was just a blank screen with the try again prompt .

What’s the deal time Warner?

Agree that TWC is the worst about making this as difficult as possible. I was finally able to log on and watch by using Opera as a browser.

I was also encountering the following error message: “We are unable to complete your request at this time
