NBC Olympics site: Sorry, video not available in China
Posted by RickM
NBC apparently has a kick-butt video site for watching the Olympics video. Imagine my surprise when I tried to play one of its demo vids, only to get the following message:
I mean, c'mon! Why can't China watch the Olympics on your awesome new site, NBC?!
This is way annoying. I've had this happen once when I tried to watch NHL hockey, too.
Not cool.

Hi Rick, got the same message when I tried Microsoft's SkyDrive. After providing my Username and Password then clicking submit, I was given a message that the service is not available in my region (Philippines). Funny yet mind-boggling.

@techguy Wow, that's weird. I haven't tried Skydrive yet, but I've been meaning to. You may want to give AOL's xdrive.com a try. Or you'd probably like www.drop.io a try, very handy for managing big files.
