And while this is on LG TVs, the webOS version must be 3.5 or higher and our TV has 3.3.something and that is the latest for our model. Fortunately at this time we only have the free tier. The only way for us to watch per the availability is connecting one of our Laptops to the TV which is truly a pain. It was fine to watch Psych. Here's to hoping they get Roku app, an Amazon app, work with previous versions of WebOS, and the flurry of other Smart devices out there (just like the wish for HBOMax).

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I'm in the same boat with you re: my LG TV. Fortunately, I decided to pick up an Apple TV about six weeks back so I could use it for HBO Max, now I'm getting the benefit of the Peacock app as well, as neither are available on either my LG TV or my Roku.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Haha. I have a beta Hotfix on my 2017 Shield and Peacock won't even run on it. It says my device isn't secure.

Lame.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

So Unsolved Mysteries (original with Robert Stack) is on this service. All 12 seasons. I already watched all of them on Amazon Prime.

But, I was sifting through it the other night and a lot of the episodes have the wrong episode description. At least the ones I looked through in seasons 1 and 2.

Also, the old FOX series House is on this service. They changed the opening theme song from Tear Drop by Massive Attack to some generic music that is apparently used in the European version of the show. What's strange about this is the NBC app also has House and they use Tear Drop.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

This is lame

I am not going to buy another device just to watch it or sit in front of my Imac for 4 hrs.

I thought they would want it on every platform and TV that is out there and get more eyeballs but apparently they did not think of this stuff before launching the service.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Yeah I dont get the strategy either. Thankfully I also have an Xbox One setup and can sideload the Android app on my bedroom FireTVs. The lack of Samsung/Roku support is mind bottling.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Use part of your stimulus money to buy an Apple TV 😜:D Then you can have HBO Max too.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I have zero interest in this. I don’t really see what it has to offer every other service doesn’t.

Peacock is indeed blocking HDMI connections to your TV.

A lot of people who don't own devices that support Peacock tried to stream the live soccer matches on launch day to their TVs and they were blocked.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Is this the first streaming service that does HDMI lockout like this?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I'll have to try it on my laptop hooked to the TV and see if it's blocked. I've never seen anything do that before on it. I tried to use my TV's internal web browser for it and it wouldn't even let me get to any show listings. So much for "Can't not watch."

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

You would think a late arriving streamer would have most of the technical and content issues worked out before launching. I could understand in the early days of streaming there would be hiccups but not at this stage. If you really want to become a major player and hang with the big boys you need to come out of the gates firing on all cylinders. Peacock isn’t doing that.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

So if I subscribe to NBC through cable provider, does that mean I get Peacock for free? :lol:

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Only for Comcast subscribers, which owns Peacock.

Sure you can get the free tier with ads, but if you don't have a compatible device, then it's worthless to you.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

what devices are compatible? I’m sure I got something...

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

It's already posted in this thread. Scroll up Post 160

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Yeah, I have android tv. I’m good, but I got every nbc show I want in Vudu. Cheers, The Office, 30 Rock, Seinfeld (don’t need or want), Parks and Rec, Chuck. They got nothing I would be interested in.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

So one issue I'm having with Peacock...I paid for no commercials but they built in fades for breaks and are ruining scenes, especially on comedies.
Let say they start a joke, it fades out (for a commercial break) then fades up after the punch line! At least on Hulu it's a hard cut so you don't miss anything.

I can get HBO Max on my TV

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Just tried it on my laptop hooked to my TV, it works. The screen goes black for a couple seconds as it checks for HDCP compliance and all that, but it comes back. Some quality issues but can't complain too much for free. We'll see if it ever makes it to Roku.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Most steamers are Roku or Firestick people who like watching on their giant tv. Peacock and Hbomax are gonna have a hard time growing without them.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Peacock has 10M subscribers according to this data as of July 30th. But a lot of them are likely Comcast subscribers.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

That's not really a fair comparison. Peacock has a free membership. All the others require a paid membership.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Amazon also has a free membership(IMDd streaming).

A MacGruber TV series was greenlit by Peacock.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

That's a separate service, though? At least every time I've checked the free stuff there is completely different from the Prime video stuff, if there's any overlap it seems small.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

If you care about sports talk, The Dan Patrick show has a new home. It will be on Peacock.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

i like Dan Patrick a lot but I wonder what he’ll have to talk about? With it looking more likely there will be no football season and baseball struggling to stay afloat it seems nba playoffs will be about all there is to discuss.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

This is just his radio show televised, which used to be on Audience on DirecTV, right? Or is this some kind of new PTI-like show?

I mean, he's doing the radio show either way.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Yes it’s his radio show broadcast from Connecticut. Before this deal he was streaming it for free on YouTube.

When DirecTV shut down Audience Network, he had to lay off his entire staff that helped produce it from LA and then did the show on the cheap for YouTube.

Kevin Bacon’s movie You Should Have Left is on Peacock

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I find mysef watching Peacock more than I expected. Namely to watch the old Unsolved Mysteries that always seem to be airing on one of the channels.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

How many streams are you allowed at the same time with Peacock TV?

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Get Peacock on your Amazon Fire device:

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Now on Roku but still not on Samung Smart TVs.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Not on Roku Now but wIll be soon according to that article.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

I signed up for an account since it's going to be on Roku and so I can watch Yellowstone.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

The app is now up on Roku.

That was a pretty quick turnaround. Now HBO Max and Roku need to get things going as well.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
 

Does Peacock have "Grimm" available?

I searched the website, but have not registered. I didn’t see it listed anywhere in the shows section. I wasn’t sure if they listed more shows if you register.
