    Cool NBC Olympics Video on Ubuntu?

    Hello,

    Has M$ once again made sure that Ubuntu users can't watch NBC streamed Olympics coverage?

    The CBC ( http://www.cbc.ca/olympics/ ) seems to be able to get it right (flash player, I believe) for Ubuntu/Linux users. Well, the coverage is better from the CBC anyway.

    Let us know if you find a workaround for NBC, I believe its the Silverlight 3.0 issue.

    Yep, crashes every single time on my 9.10 laptop (Moonlight 3).
    I write for a living (I know, it amuses me too). I also fly fish, write a top fly fishing blog, and - most of the time - write in emacs.

    I think you mean moonlight 2, which just came out not too long ago. But anyway, no go here either.

    After 2.0 didn't cut it, I noticed a link on the download page (the one you're taken to from NBCOlympics.com) that suggested downloading a pre-release version of 3.0 would allow me to watch the olympics.

    What it mostly allows me to do is watch Firefox disappear every time I try to use it...
