You do realize that you can only watch the streaming videos if you are a
subscriber to a 'premium' video package... right?

For example:
<http://www.nbcolympics.com/online-listings/day=july-28/index.html>
is a listing for streams today. If you click a current stream ""Live:
Watch now" you'll get javascripted to
<http://www.nbcolympics.com/liveextra/video-watch.html?video=nbcsn-simulcast-july-28>
and asked to select a $$ provider.
"You have selected NBC Olympics Live Extra content that requires you to
verify that your TV provider subscription package includes CNBC and
MSNBC. It’s a quick, simple, one-time process. Simply choose your TV
provider and follow the directions along the way. NBC Olympics Live
Extra lets you access 3500+ hours of live streaming of NBC’s coverage of
the 2012 London Olympics and on-demand full-event replays of the
greatest events of the Games. "

So if you're not signed up, it won't matter what browser you use.
