The best way to watch the Olympics will be by streaming Peacock for$5.99 a month. NBC is currently offering a year subscription to Peacock, with ads, for$19.99. That's a good deal.

With Peacock, you can stream all 329 medal events live. To help you watch, Peacock will offer features such as Live Actions, which lets you set prompts to jump to new activities, and Discovery Multiview, which allows you to stream four sports simultaneously. You can also create a viewing schedule, search by sport or athlete, and keep updated with all the medals and awards.

There's only one problem: Peacock doesn't offer a cloud DVR. You pretty much have to watch live. However, with Peacock Premium Plus, which is$11.99 a month, subscribers can download and save some live event content to watch offline later. To do this, click the content's tile and the Add to Watchlist button on the details page. The content will then appear in the "My Stuff" section or in "Featured" under a row labeled "My Stuff."

The Premium Plus plan promises to be ad-free. However, most live sporting TV broadcasts still have ads, so I presume the Olympics will. 

Recently, DirecTV Stream didn't offer the NBC channels due to a contract dispute. Fortunately, the Olympic channels you need to watch the games -- CNBC, NBC, NBCSN, Olympics Channel, and USA -- are back now, even on its lowest-price level, the$79.99 Entertainment package.

In addition, DirecTV Stream includes generous unlimited cloud DVR storage. With it, you can keep as many DVR recordings as you'd like for up to nine months. 

You can watch the game or any other show on up to 20 streaming devices simultaneously on your home network. Away from home, you can share your stream with three other devices.

DirecTV has one unique feature. You can "upscale" some sports events to 4K and manually adjust the content to "Best," "Better," or "Good" across devices. However, I don't recommend this approach. When I tried it, I saw streaming slowdowns and odd video artifacts.

FuboTV is best known for its sports coverage, but it's also a full-fledged streaming service with all the usual networks, including the ones that matter the most for the games -- CNBC, NBC, NBCSN, the Olympic Channel, and USA.

FuboTV's starter plan, Pro, has 183 channels and 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. For$74.99 a month, you can stream up to 10 screens on your home network and three screens simultaneously away from home. One big plus about FuboTV is that it offers 4K streaming as part of its base package. 

FuboTV's other packages -- Elite,$89.99, and Premier,$99.99 -- include additional channels. The streaming service also offers a week-long free trial. 

All Fubo plans come with unlimited cloud DVR space at no extra charge. You can stream on up to 10 devices simultaneously on your home network, plus three streams outside your home.

Hulu + Live TV offers an attractive combination of on-demand video and live TV for$83 per month. For Olympics watchers, it offers your local NBC channel, CNBC, NBCSN, the Olympics Channel, and USA.

Hulu also offers enhanced cloud DVR, increasing the available DVR storage from 50 hours to 200 hours. That should prove very handy for the Games. In addition, you can store an unlimited number of videos in your cloud DVR archive for up to nine months.

With the Unlimited Screens package, you can watch the games on unlimited concurrent streams in your home with up to three outside for an additional$9.99 monthly. The service comes with a three-day free trial.
