In 2020 or 2022 (it's all a blur), I was able to rip from NBC's site since I had access to a cable subscription, but this time around I have completely cut the cord. is there a IPTV provider, or even better, a place to download full VODs?

In years past, CBC (Canada) had a very nice website with schedules and the videos of full events all organized by event. I don't recall the coverage being overly edited or filled with fluff commentary or only covering the "big" names/events, but seemed pretty broad and unbiased and boring-in-a-good-way. It was really nice. Highly recommended.

A simple VPN to a Canada exit point is all you need. And I guess a plugin or script to download the videos if you wanted them offline. But since you can browse to any event on any day and watch when you want you really don't need to download anything.

CBC didn't offer all the events in previous years. They may have had everything that had Canadian participants, but for the smaller sports, coverage was hit or miss.

I'll give this a shot, thanks!

Not related much, but imagine being a citizen of ancient Greece having to walk for hours under killing sun, gushing barbarians' eyes and slicing wolves on your way to the Olympic games only to be told by a feller with a lisp: "Excuse me, sir! Video recording is not allowed here.". It's a comfy time we live in actually.

Edit: spelling

Probably if you use a VPN and connect to French national TV channel France 1-4 you might be able to watch it with DRM. Downloading, not so sure, since I assume it'll all be DRMed.
