Aside from live TV and streaming on Peacock, are there any other ways to watch Olympics coverage?

    Since I wanted to watch the opening ceremony (tape-delayed since I was at work when it was happening live), I ended up just paying for a month of Peacock. Annoying though that I got the top tier "ad-free" subscription, yet there are still ads. Boooo. First time using Peacock.

    That said, there are places on the high seas to watch most of the events. That's how I did it for the Paris Olympics. I don't think I can openly say where to look, but it wouldn't be that hard to find it.
