Peacock tv sucks!!

1/20/2021 4:41am
Worked fine. But I realized that there is no reason for the broadcast to be that long. 15 mins until gate drop and we get to stare at an empty track. I’d take commercials over this version of “commercial free”

I don't like that I can't rewatch shit. It's a basic function for all streaming platforms. Feels weird not being able to.
You can rewatch it though... The whole 2020 season and this season.

For those with this issue, there’s a pop up on the bottom right of the screen where it’s going to AutoPlay the “next episode” or whatever. You have to manually hit cancel and it’ll stay on the current broadcast and not interrupt your race. Took me a min to figure out what was going on, but I had it figured out for the night show.

Reminds me of when I was a kid at the Pontiac Silver Dome watching the equipment work the track.. Why not run the track up into the stands, looks like there is room.

I've been busy and realized at the last minute that the delay was on NBCSN and Peacock was available!! No account....
Took a few minutes to get an account on my phone then I switched to Xfinity and Peacock. Took more time navigating the controls on my LG to find Peacock and re-log in.

Worked flawlessly! The empty screen sucks! No reason they can't give us the same feed the show on the big screen in the stadium!! Or feed from around the track. We pay for no adds and seamless coverage, we don't pay for a dead screen.

Doesn't work with Amazon Fire streaming devices or Samsung TV's. Two of the most popular methods of watching TV. That's a freaking joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works perfectly fine on my iPad. I watched the first race on the road in my hotel room. At home, I stream it on Apple TV with the Peacock app. The app shows me signed in with the correct subscription packages but it randomly stops playing and goes into a preview mode-plays for 5 seconds then stops. I was able to fix it temporarily by resetting the Apple TV. Last night, I was able to watch up to the 450 main before it started doing the same nonsense. I was having the same issues watching qualifying. Anyone else experiencing this and if so, what was your fix?

The only issue I have had was a little bit of pixelated video in a few spots on the picture last night. It would last a second or two. Rewind would certainly be nice especially if NBC refuses to go back and look at a takeout eg; Woodcock/Moranz last night.

2 weeks in a row worked fine for me, I do wish the search worked better though. If I search for supercross, it gives me the 2020 season. I had to go to browse, sports, and find it there.
Just go to sports. It's been at the top of the list for both races.

I can't believe all the people who are happy to pay for sub-par service. After about 3hrs. I finally figured out how to get it on my computer. That is not really necessary but part my fault for my lack of computer knowledge. However, I haven't had that problem with ANY other apps. Once I got it I'm not impressed with the picture quality, lack of features and dead air time. If it was free it would be bad enough, it's not free and it sucks, bad.

If you're having issues it's more than likely your Internet speed or the ever common "I d 10 T" issue
Also if your router doesn't look like a stealth bomber you may need a newer router
Zero issues here

Yeah my bitch isnt with the stream, but the production. They zoom in on riders to a point that you cant see the section they are attacking or who they are racing. And then show a zoomed in rider for half to lap and a half while there are races in the field. Last years crew was much better

Concur...with one add...

I have to turn off subtitles every freaking time you launch a program (web/PC viewing). No settings to default this feature to OFF.

Haven't had any issues on the computer through a web browser or on Apple TV apart from the glitch last night kicking it to the 2020 season. FF and rewind on replays at least through the web. I don't think during the live broadcast they are going to allow, or spend the time to enable, people to rewind the race and then fast forward to skip the commercial down time. Maybe in time that functionality will be built in.

Sign up was pretty seamless and quick; not sure why folks would have an issue on that end.

I signed up for the Peacock just before Tuesdays race started and had a couple of freeze ups in the first couple of minutes and after that there were no problems for the rest of the show.

When the event is over, and you watch the replay, do those functions become enabled?

The pirate streams I watched live seemed to work OK. Seemed odd that one was in high def and the other was standard def, but beggars can't be choosers.

Peacock tv sucks, I would like to go back to waiting for my cycle news. A week later. Live tv sucks. I was in a sinkhole, in the middle of a corn field, in Perryville mo. Last Saturday night And the broadcast was working fine. I love it!!

Peacock is working great for me - no complaints whatsoever. And $5/month works out to about $1.25/race.
