Thanks! I think that might be what I'm looking for but, try as it might, my browser won't load any of the streams. Not sure if it's plugin related or if the site is simply being hugged to death.

By any chance do you use the HTTPS Everywhere browser extension? If so, try disabling it. A friend of mine just figured out (after a few days not understanding the strange errors) that the extension is incompatible with nbcolympics.com.

Just realized that that's why I couldn't get any of the videos to load. Thanks!

Nope that's not it. Getting the same hanging in both Chrome and Firefox so must be something else. Page loads fine, it's just the video streams that never load.
