Yeah-I was thinking about doing it.
I have a Toshiba Amazon Fire TV.
It looks like with the update that you can finally change the screen size.

So I guess the Superbowl will be streaming via Peacock? I have the top-tier plan, so I assume it will be there. I normally don't pay attention, but since it's going to be held out here, when in Rome and all that.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

It’s going to be on nbc so unless someone doesn’t have access to that why watch it on peacock?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I don't have network TV, because I never bought the antenna adapter thing or whatever. I figure since it's already in my workflow, just Peacock it via the PS5 or ATV4K app.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Better picture/sound quality. I have YTTV. They don't have DD 5.1 and the picture quality is subpar.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

According to Twitter and their page, the SB will be on there .
Thinking about signing up just for the SB. Are there any codes out there? I couldn't find any. It looks like the regular $4.99/month sub will work.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

My AMEX card has a promo that refunds you $4.99 for 3 months.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Watching Superbowl and the feed looks and sounds great. No pixelation or lag whatsoever.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

You get the $4.99 plan free with Cox and Infinity. Spectrum TV users get it free for a year while Spectrum Internet get 90 days free.

If you follow Yellowstone, but didn't watch it week to week and subscribe to Peacock, Yellowstone season 4 will be on the service on March 28th

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I signed up with Peacock for Yellowstone, am 5 episodes into season 1. Good stuff...I wish there was a No Ad version of Peacock though, fucking annoying.

This streamer is pretty solid though. Added some other shows I've been meaning to watch like Ray Donovan. Also carries alot of great true crime documentaries

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

there is a no ad version. i believe is $5.99 more. total $9.99.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

what about current subscribers? why give us the shaft?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Because you are already giving them money

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I assume you've never had cable or satellite tv before?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I have the no-ad version paid in full for the year and just watched the first two episodes of Miami Vice series and see that Peacock inserts 3 very short ads for their own programming in the episodes. They're about 5 seconds or so long. Not a deal breaker at all, because it must be due to certain rights on certain series that they do this on. Miami Vice is the only series I've seen ads for and I've watched quite a few of their programming for months now and no ads before.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Yellowstone ads are atrocious. I’m guessing the more popular/newer titles are getting the much longer forced ads, older catalog way less.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

what other series’ do they have?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

So you get $4.39 off vs paying $49.99 for the annual price? Pass.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Someone tried to hack into my Peacock account last night. I got an email saying if it was me that logged in on a Roku from Montebello, CA. I don’t share my account info and don’t know anyone there.

Changed my password right away. Be careful with your streaming services.

A month ago someone hacked into my Disney + account as I started noticing some mysterious watched movies.

when will the Nic Cage movie be on Peacock and what does Pay 2 window mean?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

It looks like more and more shows are now under a paywall. I just have a free account and I wanted to watch a Bravo show on break today and you have to have a paid membership to watch them now. I was able to watch them for free previously.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Presentation-wise I considered Peacock one of the worst services, but they finally added support for Airplay, and it passes 5.1 sound unlike on Chromecast- AND it lets you skip past commercials (I have a few free months of the ad-supported version.) The commercials seem to actually be encoded as part of the show so there isn't any switching to them (and if you do watch them, you don't get the countdown timer onscreen which would piss me off if I were paying to have a commercial run there.) There's no auto-play at least if your device is off or asleep after starting the show, so it doesn't cut the end credits off. You do have to go through the terrible inconvenience of manually starting the next show in a series, but somehow I'll live with that. What's kinda weird is if you have your iphone or ipad set to mirror, it still behaves as it did before (it plays just the sound on the TV in 2-channel stereo while the video keeps playing on the device), you have to hit the Airplay button to get everything on the TV and can't mirror the interface on it in between. On everything else I've used, when you have it on Mirror it'll show whatever is on the device until it plays an audio or video file and then it gets kicked straight to the TV in full quality.

Watched the new Firestarter and the picture quality wasn't that great, but then watched a couple shows and they looked pretty good. Would be better if it worked on Kodi (I think Slyguy wants to get it to work there but hasn't yet), but this is do-able. Most movies still play without commercials on the ad-supported plan, after this expires I'll be a lot more likely to pick up the ad-free service than before, because you can never have too many streaming services.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

The new movie The Northman is now up if you have a premium subscription. Also, Ambulance has been up a few weeks as well.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Didn’t care for either. Ambulance much more so. Northman was good, but not as good as everyone made out to be. Ambulance was just one big, chaotic, implausible chase scene. I couldn’t get into at all.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I wish when I select something to watch on Peacock that they would do a better job of highlighting the icon because as it stands now it's (the icon) is just a little larger than the other icon's and it's difficult to notice your viewing choices.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I don't really understand how the WWE PPVs work. If you don't watch it live you can't watch it right after? I missed Hell in a Cell and for some reason couldn't watch it at all after the fact.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Another thing does the WWE Network on PeacockTV have a live 24/7 channel or is it just only for live events?

There still needs a lot of work to be done on WWE Network for finding programming.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Just the live events.

It's definitely a step down from the legacy WWE Network...in terms of organization, adding of new content, etc. Only upside here (for me) is I previously subscribed to both WWE Network and Peacock, so in theory I'm saving $10 a month...even if the WWE aspect is watered down.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

It'll show up in the on demand...sometimes right away, but usually by the next morning.

Soon peacock will no longer be free to Comcast X1 and other subscribers.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Welp, looks like it's almost time to cancel Peacock:

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Will he still be a dick?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Ha, WTF is up with this guy? Never heard of him before.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

He's just a kid who's four each day he grows some more
He likes exploring, he's Caillou
So many things to do each day there's something new
He'll share them with you, he's Caillou

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

First time I heard of him was when I worked at the Tower Records 800-number. Someone had bought a Caillou VHS tape and wanted to send it back because it had the word "stupid" in it, and "we don't use that word." It took everything I had to not call her stupid, but I just said any issue with the content she would have to take up with the company that put it out; we couldn't take it back unless it was defective as in didn't play properly.
