Do any of you have a plan in place for how to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics? I've got a good Jellyfin ecosystem set up to watch my video files and listen to my music, but I haven't explored many ways to watch live sports content yet. What is the best way to tune in to the events at the Paris Olympics this summer? They're split across several TV channels. Smooth UX would be my priority - I'm willing to spend a little money if need be. So I was considering going for a Youtube TV free trial during the event, but is there a better method?

I believe they should be broadcast by the national public television (France Television) which you can watch live on https://france.tv/ ; that's if you don't mind french lol

They may ask for an account but there's no email check, just type whatever and you can watch it

I haven't tried in a long time but I know a few years ago france.tv was geoblocking IPs outside of France. Don't know that's still the case tough. A VPN made it work though.

But almost every national (public and free) television channels will have at least most of the olympic disciplines, no? So cant you just try your national tv stations?
