Catch The Summer Olympics Excitements on Windows Media Center
Starting August 8, The 2008 Beijing Olympics will begin. But the Olympic trials are underway. For the 08’Summer games, NBCOlympics website will be our destination on the Web.
NBCOlympics is a Microsoft/NBC partnership. Therefore, you’d need Silverlight more than Flash to watch video from the Olympic Games.
But the great part is when you run Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can catch these videos on Media Center, the videos will be organized into channels based on event (e.g. swimming, gymnastics, track & field, etc.).

The service, called "Olympics On the Go," won’t be offering live coverage, but will be providing "up-to-HD quality" automatic downloads with help from digital content provider, Wavexpress’s TVTonic. Because the content is downloaded instead of streamed, the footage can be watched whether you’re online or not. And since Media Center extenders like the Xbox 360 let you view content on other devices besides a PC, you can watch the Olympics events you want to see from any room in your home. Best of all, this service will be completely free! [Via on10] |
