2008, the most comprehensive resource recommendation for watching Olympic live broadcasts online - Age1983

The Olympic Games have incorporated an online media video broadcasting platform for the first time in its history. All parties are eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a share of the Olympic broadcasting, as topics, videos, and news during the Olympics will definitely attract a large number of Internet users' attention... Numerous websites went through great lengths to secure the rights to broadcast the Olympics. Now that the Olympics have opened, everything has settled down. CCTV.com, as the official new media broadcasting institution for the Beijing 2008 Olympics, has signed Olympic new media commercial reauthorization agreements with nine websites: Shanghai Media Group, Sohu, Sina, Tencent, NetEase, Ku6, PPStream, UUsee, and PPlive. These ten websites have built the largest new media broadcasting platform in the history of the Olympics.

After much hard work putting together text and images, please note the source as www.en83.com when reprinting... Be honest...

After personally visiting each website one by one to experience it, I present to you a summary of the major Olympic live broadcast/rebroadcast website addresses.

1, CCTV.com Olympic Live Broadcast Channel

Address: http://2008.cctv.com/ CCTV.com Olympic Live Broadcast Channel

CCTV's online live broadcast channel is about two or three minutes slower than TV due to network buffering, but CCTV's live broadcast has a very distinct personality, high-definition, and good speed (CCTV indeed has deep pockets; such videos rank among the best nationwide). If you're at home with a bandwidth of over 1M, you can watch it very smoothly, with not much buffering time. There are daily live broadcasts synchronized with TV.

Address: http://www.cctvolympics.com/ CCTV Network Television Olympic Channel

A more intuitive television selection interface, where the screen is made up of blocks constituting a video program list, unlike other text directories. Of course, it is also in high definition and integrated with MSN, allowing you to log into MSN and chat while watching.

2, Tencent Olympic Video Live Broadcast Hall

Address: http://2008.qq.com/live/

Tencent has put in a lot of effort in this Olympic live broadcast/rebroadcast aspect, aiming to compete with Sina in news dissemination! The Tencent Olympic Video Live Broadcast Hall simultaneously broadcasts CCTV-1, CCTV-2, CCTV-5, CCTV-7, including detailed CCTV channel live broadcast schedules, allowing you to know the event live broadcasts well. It is synchronized with TV live broadcasts, just like CCTV's live broadcast, after the events, there will be timely highlights released, such as video on-demand of women's football goals.

The picture quality can rival CCTV, and the buffering speed can also match CCTV. Web playback does not require downloading QQ Live.

The original Tencent wide-screen video channel, http://bb.news.qq.com/, also has Olympic-related video on-demand, but it requires downloading QQ Live.

3, Sina Olympic Website

Address: http://2008.sina.com.cn/ This address includes the latest videos, pictures, comments, and articles.

Address: http://2008.sina.com.cn/video/live1/ Sina Olympic website Beijing Olympic video live broadcast room

Sina live broadcast also includes channels such as CCTV-1, CCTV-2, CCTV-5, CCTV-7, which can be selected directly on the page. Before viewing, IE will prompt you to download the Sina TV plugin, feel free to download and install it. Sina videos are also known for their high definition. You won't be disappointed.

4, Shanghai Media Group News Media Group - Special Report on the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Address: www.smg.cn SMG official homepage now directly redirects to the 2008 Beijing Olympics special report.

SMG should be live broadcasting/rebroadcasting Olympic programs on TV, so only "video on-demand" can be found on the network special report.

Video on-demand address: http://www.smg.cn/Index_News/MoreList.aspx?id=443&serialno=014

5, Sohu Olympic Channel

Address: http://2008.sohu.com/ Sohu Olympic Channel

Address: http://info.2008.sohu.com/Live/20080810.shtml Sohu Olympic Channel Beijing Olympics Live Broadcast Center

Sohu live broadcast requires installing the Sohu PXP plugin. After installation and refreshing the page, you can see high-definition videos. The live broadcast center includes not only CCTV-1, CCTV-2, CCTV-5, CCTV-7, but also CCTV News Channel and Sohu Channel 1.

Sohu's live broadcast center has uniquely colored video channels...

6, NetEase Olympic Homepage

Address: http://2008.163.com/ NetEase Olympic Homepage

Address: http://live.2008.163.com/ NetEase Olympic Homepage Live Room

NetEase live broadcast also requires downloading a plugin - the NetEase video plugin. When I clicked on CCTV-1, CCTV-2, CCTV-5, CCTV-7 on the NetEase Olympic Homepage, it all redirected to the NetEase Olympic Homepage instead of entering the live room, possibly due to link errors...

Since I didn't install the plugin, I don't know if NetEase's is in high definition...

7, Ku6 Olympic Channel

Address: http://www.ku6.com/2008/ Ku6 Olympic Channel

Ku6's right side is actually the PPLIVE live broadcast channel page. Could it be that Ku6 only does Olympic video rebroadcasts? And with my 2M home telecom broadband, I've recently been finding Ku6's videos very unsmooth to watch, and Ku6's video quality leaves much to be desired...

8, PPStream Online Video

Address: http://www.ppstream.com/ PPS Official Website

Address: http://2008.pps.tv/ PPS Olympic Video Live Broadcast Homepage

As a formally authorized video website, PPS naturally allows you to watch video live broadcasts on the client after downloading the PPS Network TV client, or you can watch directly on the PPS Olympic Video Live Broadcast Homepage, though you need to download and install the latest version of PPS. The high definition is also quite good, and the speed is decent too.
