Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
Will there be PS4 or Xbox app?
I am trying to decide if I should sign up or not. I wish I knew how disruptive the commercials were. Asking for $80 up front when we have like no idea what will be on their service is a kind of big ask.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
What devices can I stream it on?
For now the "sneak peek" version of Peacock is only available to stream through Comcast's own platforms. That means Xfinity X1 cable customers and Flex streaming customers can watch Peacock on TVs through their X1 box or Flex streaming box.For the nationwide launch in July, so far Peacock has confirmed support on:
- Apple devices: You'll be able to stream the service on apps for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. You'll be able to sign up for Peacock or upgrade your membership with in-app purchases too. And Apple will also integrate Peacock into its own TV app, which allows you to congregate certain streaming channels together to watch them in one place.
- Google devices: Peacock will have support on Google platforms and devices including Android phones and tablets, and Android TV devices, Chromecast and Chromecast built-in devices. People who sign up through Android and Android TV also get free access to Peacock Premium until Oct. 15; after that trial period ends, Peacock Premium costs $4.99 per month with ads or $9.99 a month ad-free.
- Xbox One consoles: Microsoft's Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One S and Xbox One X, will have an app for Peacock, and the service itself will be available for download through the Microsoft Store. You can also sign up for or upgrade Peach directly within the Peacock app on Xbox devices using in-app purchase.
- Vizio SmartCast TVs
- LG Smart TVs

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
Me too. Some of their content looks pretty good but all these late arrival streamers missed the boat for me. Netflix and Prime have more content then I need even with staying home more. Add in the occasional Disney+ sub for new seasons of Mandalorian and I’m set. I refuse to let my programming bill start approaching what I used to overpay for cable.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
Yes, free as in $0.
Even if you pay $30 for the year, you’ll still get ads so the only incentive to pay that is the added content and unrestricted next day streaming of Comcast owned channel programs.
I’m doing the free tier unless someone confirms that Psych The Movie: Lassie Come Home actually requires payment.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
You're right. Netflix has the head start on programming and Prime (despite being terrible as a standalone video service) is basically just an add on to the free two day shipping. Both take priority over any of these new services. Add in if you really like a niche like anime, you'll probably subscribe to a niche service. These are broader but there's only so much time to watch stuff and if you're satisfied with what you are already paying for, it's a tough sell to pay for more or even to bother rotating things in and out.
I understand the feeling. There's only so much time in the day to watch TV and stream and it's simply not possible to keep up with everything no matter how great the service looks or how great the content looks. If you don't have the time, then it's a waste of money. Most of you guys have families and full-time jobs, thus you simply don't have the time or disposable income to invest in every cool streaming service.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
Peacock is now live! I signed in on my Apple TV 4K with no troubles.
It's a mix of Live TV and VOD content including movies. There's quite a bit of stuff. Lots of old NBC, USA and other NBC owned cable shows along with classic shows. Even some Showtime series on there.
OG Law and Order is on there (it's never had a streaming deal), but only seasons 13-20 right now. I assume it has to do with current licensing deals.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
I spent about an hour going through the curation of content and it’s pretty good to start out.
HBO Max has an edge because it has a much stronger curation of movies. But this one also includes live TV and will include live sports starting today. So it’s a pretty good start. I just don’t know if I have enough time in the day to really maximize it. I’ll try though.
Well the live TV section is mostly focused on NBCUniversal content. There’s actually a live The Office channel that shows shorts.

Does the free tier include shows like SNL (and I know it's on break right now) or whatever the day after their airings like the shows locked in the premium tier?

I just did a check and season 40 and onwards seems to be full seasons. They have select episodes from some older seasons.

For instance, Disney+ has a bunch of shows airing on the Disney channel but they are (intentionally) a season behind.

Re: Peacock -- NBC Universal streaming service
I’m really only interested in their new originals like Brave New World and Dr Death. I read that they won’t be part of any free version. However, i also read that at first they will be releasing entire seasons all at once so I guess I could sign up and binge for a month then drop it. The article stated new shows released later will go to a weekly format.
