Is it possible to go back and watch the heat races? Or is it just live TV?

They don’t allow you to scrub/rewind a live broadcast, unfortunately.

You have to wait for the archive and then you can watch all of it. Archive is usually up within 15-30 min after the live broadcast is over.

Where are the races archived on their site? This has been my biggest complaint with Peacock

Peacock is okay for qualifying but absolutely junk for race coverage

Browse/Sports/Supercross. They have been there every time for me and the coverage has been awesome. Yes, the camera work could be better, but pretty difficult with riders all over the place. Very different than a baseball game.

Coverage is a shitty as ever. One would think that the coverage would have improved by now. Picture in Picture with graphics taking up 1/2 of the screens. Does the producer know anything about SX. No coverage of any battles unless they are in front. What’s up with the commercial breaks in progress. I haven’t seen a commercial yet if Roxzen wins the title will the races be televised in German.. Better yet can we get an American calling a cricket, or rugby game or match or contest. Any tough Euro fan out there want an American calling your rugby game?

$4.99 is pretty sweet deal. It’s been silky smooth and I am in remote Alaska with about 2 or 3 MBs speed from a 3G cell tower.

Surely You guys do understand it is not Peacock producing the race.

It is the same lame SX production crew we have had for years. Yes it is better without Ralph. But the camera choice by the producer is still really bad. Split screen is terrible. Why use only 30% for each frame with huge blank area?

Peacock is simply the distribution channel.

They need to add a pause and rewind feature to the live events. That's my only complaint.

I watched on NBCsn while daughter and grandson watched on Peacock app. Daughter complained of the app stopping and buffering however it's on a 50 MG internet connection so it should not have had a problem. Probably to do with their server not having the capability for the number of viewers/users.I watched practice on the Peacock website and didn't have any problems.

Yes, the camera action was poor and they were always cutting to a replay because they were busy covering some other replay because they missed the action the first time and the announcers missed the action because they were busy talking about something else.

Ricky needs to forget "he's in the perfect position" as he uses it too much and is usually wrong.

Will might as well shut up during the races because her voice is so shrill you can't understand her as she tries to yell over the race sounds.

On a positive note, I'm glad we have Supercross to watch and can watch it live.

I just researched this. It looks like you need to make a PC DVR using an opensource app called Kodi (there are probably experts here that know all about it). You can capture a stream coming into your PC and record it like a DVR. Then you need to export the recording to your TV and get an RF remote for your PC. Instead I signed up for NBCSN.

I have watched all three races with great quality and zero buffering. You have a hardware issue.

worked good for qualifying... then when the night program started I started having issues with it freezing up. eventually just decided to fuck it, watched the fight instead. later after the fight I tried to watch the replay on the app, it would work for about 2 min and then freeze up. evenually I found it on youtube and was able to watch the main event there. I use many streaming services, and hardly ever have an issue, my MotoGP streaming app has worked great for years now.

also, looking around the peacock app, other then supercross they have soccer, but thats about it. you'd think that you could get live news, but at best you get a day old replay, who watches yesterdays news??

Stopping and buffering is 100% on your end. Incredible nobody understands this.

they have "channels" that show reruns or clips from actual programs that air on NBC networks. but you cant watch NBCSN or CNBC or even the regular NBC network.

and all my other streaming services work great, so I do not think the issues are on my end, especially when so many other people seem to be having issues as well

First two races were ok for me but last nights broadcast was bad. Mine buffered a lot then the picture quality would tank soon after. Right after the race I watched a movie in 4k and it never buffered once. Picture looked great. Since I have subscribed to Peacock I have been watching some older shows on it with no issues.

My point being the Supercross feed seems to have issues. If they are going to charge you for the service then they need to get their act together.

I am running a Apple TV hardwired to my router with a 100 mbps connection. Rarely do I have buffering on any other apps.

Weird. I have all the up to date stuff and it runs flawless. Even with the girlfriend streaming Netflix and on her work laptop in the other room. Haven’t had one buffering issue. Problem is on your end.

I have gig speed internet, Arris SB8200 modem, eero Pro 6 router hardwired via Cat6 ethernet to an Apple TV 4K into a 77” Sony A9G. I don’t have a hardware issue. The livestream last night was shit. It kept dropping to 480p, then go back to 720p, then 1080p then drop to 480p again. I did a speed test last night on my iPhone and was pulling down nearly 600mbps OVER WIFI, which as you know WiFi is much slower than a wired ethernet connection. You only need like 20-30mbps to stream 4K content, 1080p is much less. I will say I watched the replay and it was absolutely flawless. I think NBC underestimated the number of people that were going to watch live via Peacock and their servers are over run.

They need to add pause/rewind and second monitor through HDMI. My only complaints so far.

I solved the pause/rewind/fast forward problems with NBC Sports Gold by buying a Roku, then they switched to Peacock!

It would be great to have pause/rewind on the live feed, but having it work consistently makes it better than NBC Sports Gold.
I usually watch the replay so I can watch the racing in 2 hours instead of 3.
Rewind/pause works fine on the replays.
