Had issues on both my Apple TV’s right before the 450 main. Had to watch on my phone 🙄.

It would work about 5 seconds, then restart to the beginning of the broadcast.
I was using Apple TV and had the exact same problem, except it would take me back to the program screen where I could choose to watch the main event or the practice and qualifying, and then it would freeze on me and I couldn't do anything. I logged out and logged back in and unplugged it at least 10 times. Happened right at conclusion of 250 main event. I eventually gave up and logged into Peacock via my PC and watched it on my laptop.

It worked perfectly for me for Round 1 via Apple TV.

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?
Yes! Same exact thing for me. Round 1 worked flawless, round 2 had lots of issues.

I was using Apple TV as well. I logged out and logged back in and unplugged it at least 10 times. Happened right at conclusion of 250 main event. I eventually gave up and logged into Peacock via my PC and watched it on my laptop and it was fine that way, but useless on Apple TV for the 450 main.

yup, me as well. From the looks of this thread, it seems like it this problem was isolated to Apple TV users?

So everyone is OK with the shitty picture quality? Paying for SD.

How much user error is involved in streaming in a browser or an app? It either works or it doesn't. This ain't 1988 where we're compiling our own code for DOS.

I have Peacock, just got it for SX. H1 race the races seemed blurry. I had two incidents of buffering during H1. H2 the races were clear, no buffering, but some pixelation.

I watched a movie on Peacock last night, it was perfect, not a single incident, but sure, user error.

I had mostly the same issues. H1 was blurry, and H2 seemed better but occasionally pixelated. No buffering issues for me though.

Worked fine for me last night on a fire stick. Watched it live till just before the mains when I went to bed. Worked fine on my iPhone today with shitty work WiFi to watch the 250 main and worked fine at home on the fire stick to watch the 450 main.

I had this as well. There was a square graphic box that kept popping up on the left side of the screen with the introduction of the night's broadcast. I realized that there was a small amount of time that it would appear at the end of the scroll bar area. I clicked on it there and X'd it out and my broadcasts was fine after. Regardless, it was a pain in the ass and it should never have happened.

I don’t think the picture quality is shitty. It looks pretty good most of the time. Sometimes there is degradation which I believe is an issue on their end but most of the time the quality is pretty good. I run my roku hardwired and have 1,000gb speed.

I was on Apple TV also, hopefully they fix the issues and I won’t panic when shit goes wrong, SX is all I have right now 😎

I know this isn't peacock tv's app's fault...but the qualifying is horrible. Sexton got the fastest lap in the 2nd practice and they have the camera on Webb rolling the track slowly. I don't get it honestly

Absolutely not, I’ve been emailing them my issues with the SD feed they have been putting out. I even linked them to vital Mx to read all of the complaints about the picture quality and frame jitter. It’s just poor quality and people saying it works great for them must be blind. I’ll probably get an email back tomorrow, if not I’ll continue to email them again and again and again.

Yes it’s a pain with the fire stick at first. iPad app is good. Biggest negative is the no rewind feature till after.

Keep in mind you only need the $4.99 sub for commercial free viewing.

Right? All the way through the last (Hangtown) round of the Nationals too, which I will attend.

Mine is pretty good on a Fire Stick. Once or twice it buffered in the beginning, but I though picture quality was great. Especially for $5 a month.

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.
Go ahead and add the future races to your watch list. Makes it way easier.

Is anybody getting "content not available on this device" message? I have a verified account, still in trial period, but can't watch the race. Pretty much sucks since I sat down to watch H2 and get this weird message. I watched a bit of it live on this same laptop last night!
When I go to watch the replay it says "content not available on this device."
So far I agree this thing sucks. The "help" section is a bunch of articles, and after four of them it's "how long is a peacock's tail." Save me the techno-dweeb humor and give me some contact info or someone to talk to about a customer problem. This is ridiculous.

Paid the $9.99 to make sure I got full Moto coverage. What am I getting that I wouldn’t have with the $4.99 coverage? By the way. I think I’d RATHER the commercials. The minutes of dead air drives me nuts.

You get the same exact thing with the $4.99 version when it comes to SX/MX.

The $9.99 version gets you commercial free programming on the rest of the shows that are on Peacock.

The Peacock TV Help says the same thing. But how do you turn off a website that you access? It's not an app like with a phone. Or am I missing something (note the "50+" in my username).

I even tried downloading the Peacock app on my phone to see if I could watch it that way. All I got was a season 1 archive.
So far I rate Peacock a 0 out of 10 for accessibility and content access. I'm even paying for it. It's a steaming pile of crap, am I the first one to say it?

I am a tech-savvy 20-something and it took me much longer than I’m willing to admit to find the event replays. If you search “supercross”, you’ll only get the 2020 season. However, if you click on the “Sports” tab and scroll down until you find the row titled “Supercross”, round 1 & 2 should be available for you to watch!

Keep buffering on my android tv. Had to exit the program and reopen it and it would run fine a while. Have a 12mbs connection so don't think it was my connection.
I'm having the same issue. Peacock is the only app that is doing this. Hulu live, Netflix, Youtube, Disney Plus, ESPN, etc. are all working great with no issue at all. Its a brand new app, so you have to expect some issues until they get all the "bugs" worked out, but it sure does suck when the app fails at a pivotal moment in a race your watching.

What level did you get? It’s not available on the free version you have to have either the Premium $4.99 level or the Premium Plus $9.99 level....also there are two ways to find it you can browse “sports” scroll down to “motor sports” and scroll to the right until you find it or you can use the search function but you have to search “qualifying” or “main” for the SX to show up.

getting the same "content not available" chat support had me clear cookies and cache, and try incognito mode, none worked. Same error on chrome browser and IE and the new one Microsoft made. Tech support said they would get back to me.... Note, it works fine on my android app and I have the premium $9.99 service.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, RDL may be in SD but I have a good 1080 picture through my AppleTV on my Sony OLED and on my iPad and computer for the night show...typical culture nowadays “if you don’t agree with me you’re a loser” or any other name you want to call people....

Get a router from this decade and you won’t have issues 🤷🏻‍♂️. For real people, it’s not that hard. Found replays no problem, found 2020 season no problem, streams in 1080 on my tv and haven’t had any buffering issues. People complaining either have shit wireless service or a 15 year old router. It’s not that hard people.
