Watch the Beijing Olympics on your smartphone or PC anytime! How to use "NHK Plus"

いよいよ2月4日に開幕する北京オリンピック。そして、3月4日から13日まで開催される「北京パラリンピック」。選手達の活躍をチェックしたいが、常時テレビの前にいるわけにもいかない。SNSで話題になっているあの競技を、最初から観たいが録画していなかった……という事も多いだろう。そんな時に便利なのが、NHKが契約者向けのインターネットでのサイマル配信&見逃し配信サービス「NHKプラス」。その使い方を簡単に紹介する。

Simply put, NHK Plus can always watch NHK terrestrial broadcasting TV programs (general TV and E -Tele) on the Internet, "Simultaneous Delivery", and those programs distributed for one week after broadcasting.It is a combination of "missed program distribution".

At the Beijing Olympics, the broadcast of the competition broadcast on the comprehensive television and E -Tele and the related programs are distributed at the same time.If you have a smartphone or computer, you can watch games from anywhere in real time, and even if you watch it from the middle of the game, you can watch it from the beginning of the game by chasing playback.In order to be overlooked, you can enjoy the competition you missed with Japanese live commentary.

During the period, the "Beijing Ori Para" menu icon will be displayed, and guidance to a special site will be implemented.By clicking the icons, you can also enjoy a playlist that collects famous scenes, such as competitions, daily and medals.

Such an NHK Plus can be used is a PC or smartphone web browser or an application for iPhone/Android.Delivery for TV is also planned, but it is not yet available now.Specifically, the usable devices are Android 6 or more for smartphones and tablets, iOS 11 or more.The application version of the iPhone and iPad is iOS 10.The support of X has ended.

The recommended OS for PCs is Windows 10, the browser is the latest version of Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome, and the MacOS browser is the latest version of Safari/Google Chrome.Please note that it cannot be used with Internet Explorer.

Here, the use of a smartphone app is used as an example, but the basic start and use of PC browsers are the same.This time, install the Android version app.

When the app is started, the outline of the app and notes are displayed, and the NHK general program currently being broadcast is displayed on the smartphone immediately.However, in this state, a message is displayed in the lower right of the screen saying "I will check the status of the receiving contract".When you buy a TV, when you display the BS broadcast, you will see a message "Request for installing receiver", but it is the same.

You can grasp the contents of the program as it is, but the program is still difficult to see, and above all, the main "missed delivery" cannot be used without logging in after confirming the receiving contract status.
