You should change the topic to be more descriptive.
You can download the app here:
NBCOlympics.com
People searching for this know that the app is flagged as incompatible. I you cannot download it from nbcolympics as it just provides a play store link

Interesting app. It does ask who your TV provider is and made me log in to my FiOS account.
An Olympics fan with a Prime who doesn't have an android device will appreciate your sharing of the app.
After reading how you did it, I did it for myself to my phone from the market, then used Root Explorer to find air.com.nbcuni.com.nbcsports.liveextra-1.apk in /data/apps. Then I sent it to my cloud storage so the Prime can access it. Works just like you said.

It works great. I simply downloaded the APK...
It's a shame that they don't support Tegra 3......
It says I don't have a subscription. Is there anything I can do about that? I don't have MSNBC I don't think. All I have is dish network kids pack. I REALLY want to watch the Olympics!

When I try to install the first time I get an error message saying something like "There was a problem parsing this package." Then I tried it a second time, and the install worked, but it keeps going into slow motion. Any idea why?
I'm on a stock transformer prime.
The slow motion that happens after the first few seconds of video playback can be worked around by pressing your home button. Then, open the recent programs and go back to Live Extra. The video will play back fine.

Can you guys stream any nbc.com full episodes? I used to be able to. What format do they use now cause my brothers new ipad can stream. I wonder how many other sites are gonna go this route. I'd hate for this to happen as this is one reason I went with the prime.

Using Overskreen browser works fine. Opera mobile doesn't seem to work. So more then likely a browser issue.

What about your stock browser or ice+? I cant get neither to work.
Funny, I figured stock browser using request desktop site settings would work but I just tried it and no go, which is unusual. Even HBOGO works that way. Also tried Firefox and same thing on nbc. Not available for device.
I tried it on the Boat browser. The stream plays with sound and audio when the show starts then 15 seconds into it the video stops but the sound continues. If I switch screen size then I get video again for another 15 seconds. It is like they are injecting something into the stream that is messing everything up.
From what my brother tells me nbc.com uses quicktime on the iPad or quicktime can interpret the video or something to that effect.
Just for grins I checked abc and cbs and they both play just fine. I have User Agent set to desktop.
works also on Dolphin HD but does not on stock browser. Says "It's not currently available for this device."

IMEI
The Sirius app needs to be able to read an IMEI number to work and because we are on a tablet and not a phone, there isn't one. I ran into the same problem with my GTablet and ran a patch on the ROM I was running to add the IMEI. Sirius then worked great, along with HBO Go. Hopefully someone much smarter than me can figure out how to patch an IMEI number into the prime. Here is the thread were I got the patch:

Well, yay!
I am now streaming SiriusXM to my tablet in the background without the app. FINALLY! THIS IS SO AWESOME!
I'm using XMTuner (there are several different PC applications like this you could use) in conjunction with TVersity.
XMTuner is a dual purpose PC app that is a non-browser tuner as well as a server for linking the channel feeds to uPnP. TVersity (Pro) serves local media and streams (it treats the Sirius XM feed as an RSS feed).
I'm playing the channels on my Prime using Skipta which can be minimized to the taskbar. uPnPlay can also be used (as I've used it for years), but it seems to be slower loading the DLNA server locations.
As an incredibly awesome side effect, I am now able to stream SiriusXM to my Xbox 360. That's a pretty f***ing awesome side effect.
UPDATE: uPnPlay seems to be the better option. If you turn on the Cache Detection in the Experimental settings, your TVersity server connects instantly. No such setting in Skipta.
New Sirius app works from backup
Just downloaded the newest Sirius app on my phone. Did a Titanium backup and restored it on my Prime. Worked like a charm! The app is version 2.0 build 20060. The app is even better than the old one. You can rewind songs and whole shows.
Still no reason why there isn't a tablet optimized version...

It actually looks great on my Prime. It looks like it is optimized for a tablet, so maybe they are going to allow it soon. Check out the screenshot I took.

When I did the backup with Titanium, I was already signed in and had the channel list updated on my phone. I never saw the login screen on my prime.

I am having a problem with both of these games.
Real racing 2 doesnt download any of the data required to play it. Anyone else having this problem? It eventually times out on 0%
Soulcraft looks "zoomed in." The words are jaggedy and enlarged instead of crisp. It looks as if I am running the phone version scaled up to the tablet size, and its not displaying at native resolution. Does anyone know how to fix this? I had the same problem with galaxy on fire 2 but was able to fix it with the zoom button on the bottom right of the status bar but, unfortunately, it doesnt appear when I am playing soulcraft. (I do have the THD version in case you were wondering)
Thanks
I'm having problems downloading game data for shadowgun and for galaxy on fire 2. Shadowgun says it can't connect to the network and GOF2 says there is a file read error.

Ok Those People with "File Read Error" Problems In GOF 2 Are dude To One of the two reasons
1: You r rooted, its clearly mentioned n the gof2 forms that due to an root exploit they will not allow the download of the game data on rooted devices, SO Use the Voodoo Ota Root Keeper to Solve this Issue
2: Due to Your WiFi Network Being Non static, This One is A very odd issue so to bypass this on u will need to change/modify your wifi setting by changing the network from DCPC TO STATIC!!
Furthermore if the problem persists download the game data from and external source or wait for a fix!
Please thank me if i Helped!

I understand that it says that the Prime is an unsupported device. But it seems like those problems shouldn't exist with a device this old and on ICS. Which is much more widely adopted now.
I downloaded it to my galaxy nexus and then sideloaded it on the prime and it works fine.

Apologies, this is the updated link. They were both on my dropbox.
Downloaded our apk. Installed no problems. The problem I'm having is the video and sound is in slow motion. It starts out fine then slows down. Anyone else experienceing this?
From another thread, they said to press the home button and use the app switcher button to switch back to the Live Extra app to get rid of the slow-mo bug.
It worked for me at least.
Home button trick works great!
I get 25 down at my house and in my room i have one of those apple wifi extender things that plugs into a wall outlet. For some reason when connected to the wifi extender i get only 6 down. This should still be enough for HD youtube since i can still play HD netflix through it however video costantly stops and starts. Has any one else expeienced this? Is there a certain download speed needed for youtube?

i believe thats because using the browser to load youtube disables HD
if you turn HD off via the app it'll load better..... but buffering just suck on the prime... sadly enough =[
