My experience is much different.
I can listen to qualifying while driving.
I can log in from anywhere with internet including the middle of the desert and watch Supercross!.
I can turn off the volume if the announcers are bothering me, which they are not.
For me Peacock rocks, just my $.02

Holy shit, does anyone like anything about this sport any more? Seems like every post lately is something negative. Lighten up folks.

Awesome desert picture! I'm sorry for jumping on the negative Nellie train. I love the sport so much so I wanted to watch the race again. I don't care about the announcers, commercials or whatever just seems like this ap never works right. Same thing with trying to watch the Olympics.

Try having the international stream for quadruple the price, then you’ll appreciate Peacock.

How did you pair it to your tv?

I've been running Peacock off my PS4 for a few years now and have never had a problem. Barely ever watch the qualifying, but I have never had a problem at all during the night show. Maybe you need to step up your internet?

Maybe because the sport is getting worse? Most people that have been in the sport for years can see this and
remember when it was a lot better. Especially the McGrath, Pastrana, Stew, Rc era. There's a million reasons for this
but it is what is.

The sport is turning into Moto GP technology wise but not professionalism wise. A large Social media following is more important then results on the track. You don't think that will effect how much heart these riders put in on the track?. Winning isn't everything anymore to sponsors and the sport is suffering because of this. There's a lot more reasons but its just tough to watch it get pussified.

My experience has been great. $5 a month and it flat out works great. They don't spoil the race either if I didn't watch it live and want to watch a replay. I never have streaming issues with it. The app is on all my TVs. Very nice stuff.

Remember a few years ago when half of us had Fox Sports 1 and the other had Fox Sports 2 and whether we could watch the race or not was dependent which channel it was on? And EVERYONE on here said they’d pay really GOOD money for a streaming service.

Or a few years farther back when we listened to the race on Supercross.com (I believe that was the website) on dial up internet and every time our dang grandmas would call the house the internet would get disconnected.

Or even a few years before that when we’d have to call a 1-800 number to get the results after the race.

Fuckin people here are whiners. We now pay a couple dollars a month to watch the racing we love and also get a bunch of movies and TV shows on that same platform. Even still, we have guys making all kinds of threads complaining about it… even though it’s actually their internet that’s garbage. I just can’t wrap my head around the stupidity of some people.

Quit bitching and be happy that peacock offers live streaming for a few dollars a month.

Yep, or hardware, or operator error. Unfortunately, proper streaming especially for live events in HD does require some knowledge and it is not as simple as plugging in a lamp. Get someone that know what they are doing to help. Its no different than trying to talk on your cell phone with one bar of service. That doesn't mean your cell phone "sucks".

Exactly.
We have a cabin in the NC mountains.
No cable, but internet access.
Peacock is the only option.

Sounds like your internet sucks and this is coming from someone who is surrounded on all sides by rolling mountains in the woods. I never have a problem.

It could be a lot better, I wish I could start watching an hour late and rewind to the beginning, and the search feature sucks, but it's way better than anything else we've had, especially for the money.

Didn't have a single problem with Peacock so far. Watching it over VPN. The only quality problems I had was the typical race day live stuff, that was last year, seems to be fixed aswell. Way cheaper than NBC Gold back then, 49,99€ for both SX and outdoors, can't get much better than that.

Android TV version does live rewind/pause just fine on my NVidia Shield TV

That brings back memories... Listening to the race with Jim Holley was awesome. I'd have the live timing going and the live radio stream announcing was so good! All hype!

Peacock has been great. Zero issues. Probably the best streaming year yet because I remember having some oddly low quality/pixelated races in the past (especially with NBC Sports Gold).

I love it. Super cheap. Quality stream. Watch all of practice/qualifying. We are super spoiled...I still remember staying up until god knows when in the 90's when I was in college to watch tape delayed SX races (after already knowing who won). I know...grumpy old man talking about the old days. It is what we do.

Bonus: That cheap Peacock subscription let's me watch reruns of my two favorite shows: Yellowstone and The Office. Win/win.

Peacock is the only reason I've gotten to enjoy the supercross and outdoor seasons without missing a moto. Prior it was a nightmare finding races and trying to stay awake to watch them when you could. Forget outdoors entirely as well, I never had MavTV or whatever random channel it was on at the time.

I know it'll change eventually, but I'm hoping it sticks around for longer than I'm expecting it too.

Peacock has worked great for me. I do notice when I first turn it on its pixelated-blurry but that soon goes away.

I have had zero complaints about it. I'm not thrilled about commercials this year, but that won't change now.

It's weird. International stream is the same feed and I didn't miss a single lap.
