How are you all planning to watch the 2024 Olympics? (lemmy.ml)

Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I've got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven't explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They're split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I'm willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?

You could install kodi and get an IPTV account and set it up. Some european public broadcasters also have web streams for all the events, if you don't care to much about the language. But you might need a VPN for that.

I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

If your VPN has Canadian servers, CBC always has a very good website for watching the Olympics and IIRC you only need a Canadian IP address to access it.

I've done this in the past and it works great. Canadian coverage was much more calm and their commercials far less disruptive than what I was used to.
