It's supposedly being televised on one of our channels over here (although not one I get, unfortunately). That may mean that there will be some dubiously legal methods of viewing the games online. I'll let people know here if I find any.

I'm looking into it. It'll probably be on CCTV (China's main Television Network). I'll keep you updated.

It looks like they will be online. The link is below. What you do is click, 'WATCH TV' then you select CCTV-5. The broadcasting will most likely be in chinese, since it's a major network there.

Yeah, if anyone can find a stream for British Eurosport 2, they're showing pretty much every game and the commentary will actually be in English (personally I find it practically unbearable watching complete games with commentary in an unintelligible language, and mute is nearly as bad).

CCTV5 should show up at some point. Thats where they broadcasted the FIVB Grand Prix and I watched those matches on it.

I was wondering if they were going to show at least the US games on TV here, they have been showing the Men's teams Pre Olympic games on ESPN 2 (there are 2 games left)..
Being able to watch it online is better than not seeing it at all..

They have a stream on their website, but it's limited geographically and I got "sorry not available" here in the US. I tried a British proxy, but they want 5 Euros for a month subscription and I don't even know if I could get a watchable stream from it. Thinking it over...
Isn't this the sort of thing you're supposed to use Slingbox for these days...?

Yeah, websites have gotten much better at blocking viewers by territory/geography. Although I admit I haven't tried all that hard to circumnavigate, because most of the stuff I'd watch on sites blocked in the UK is either available via other channels or wouldn't be available anyway without paying.
No idea whether Slingbox would work over here (never seen it advertised on these shores), but even if it did you'd need it connected to a British TV with cable/sattelite that had British Eurosport 2 in its package. Unless you're a big fan of tennis, surfing, rallying or other thoroughly niche sports, I wouldn't suggest bothering. The basketball coverage is an aberration amongst their usual fare, believe me.

Here's more links for the broadcasts:

All you do is click 'NEXT', but make sure you click the one at the top of the list. Then you'll see the games listed.

My maths says either 3.30am or 7.30am Eastern US time, Sunday morning, for the first US game. The confusion between those two comes because the USA Basketball site has the US playing in the early game on Sunday - click here and scroll down - whereas the official site has them playing in the later game - click here. I'm more inclined to believe the official site, which would make tip-off 7.30am Eastern (I believe).
There's a 12-hour difference between Eastern US time and Beijing, so any listed time is exactly the same, just in the morning instead of the evening or vice-versa.

Eurosport 2 shows up here, although the video quality is dodgy compared with CCTV-5...

I think 2 am CT but I'm a bit confused. On the official site, they have the countdown ending at midnight (CT). One would think that would mean the start to the first game, but I don't know.

Thank you!
I wonder if I can stay up that long... I at least want to see if it the video works OK, so I can be ready for the US game.
