Public bug reported: The 2012 Olympics are available to US cable subscribers, meeting particular requirements, at http://www.nbcolympics.com/
The authentication (sign-in) process does not work under Ubuntu. After completing all the sign-in steps, the site redirects you back to the un- authenticated version of the landing with no error message. I tried switching user agents to Win7 and it made no difference. The process works using Firefox on Windows and Mac. Strangely, it works under Linux Mint out of the box! (Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon 32-bit live USB drive.) So this problem is specific to Ubuntu.
