| I DO have cable TV in the U.S. - Suddenlink I spent 45 minutes online with the Suddenlink support person and got my account setup with username and password ALL SET right? So, with the Suddenlink support person on the phone I login to the NBCOlympics.com site and select Suddenlink. I key in my username and password. In about a minute the screen pops up and says I am all set to WATCH THE OLYMPICS LIVE. Joy!! Then in about 10 seconds another screen pops up: "You do not have a subscription to view the requested content. Contact Suddenlink to upgrade your programming then log back in to view content." What the heck?? So I ask the very helpful Suddenlink support person still waiting on the phone: What Up? She confirms that since I do not have the EXTENDED basic package with optional add-ons with Suddenlink I do not qualify to WATCH THE OLYMPICS LIVE BY THE WAY: Did you read the nbcolympics.com FAQ: "Q: What is required for accessing Live Extra content?
A: You will need to verify that you subscribe to a cable, satellite or telco video tier that includes CNBC and MSNBC. There is no additional charge." I do have CNBC and MSNBC. CNBC is channel 255 and MSNBC is channel 264 (in my market area) And yet I cannot WATCH THE OLYMPICS LIVE In the terms of the Olympics here is my message to NBC
