NBC's treatment of the Olympics and tennis drives me bonkers. In this day and age.

I have to disagree. Indeed the west coast delay is annoying, but you can literally live stream almost every single event that takes place, even the most obscure sports, from heats to finals. NBC is broadcasting 6,755 hours of live programming.

My television is internet-capable but otherwise an HDMI cable will do the trick if you want to watch on a large screen. Moreover, the convenience of watching on an iPad or smartphone comes in very handy at times. I would say we are lucky to be in this day and age; as a kid I remember watching the Olympics on ABC and it was a very limited experience compared to this, e.g. the great Miracle On Ice game was broadcast on a 3-hour delay even on the East coast, and there was no alternative at all.
