The main complaint I have is the menu screen takes forever to disappear. And if you touch ANYTHING, it comes back up. Wish they'd allow us to put the menu screen into the background instantly with the click of a mouse. That said, maybe there's a way and I'm missing it?

I love motorcycles and all motorcycle racing. 53 years riding, racing since 1970, STILL racing. Probably why I don’t have a lot of patience for 3rd rate coverage. Beats the old days where you had to catch the “Super Bowl of Motocross” on Wide World of Sports though so I guess I should be grateful

I asked on here last year about meeting up for racing or training around my area, I wanted someone at or near my skill level to practice with to get faster.

all I heard was crickets…

..but I did get like 10 thumbs down, so I’ve got that going for me…

One thing I hate is that it takes them forever to upload the replays.

I got home over an hour ago and wanted to watch qualifying before the night show... It's been saying "Replay available soon" ever since.
If I wait for it to be up and start watching the night show later, then it will cut off at some point and I'll have to wait hours before the replay is up.. So basically you just can't watch both the Qualifying and night show on Saturday unless you watch it all live...

I know my internet sucks but can watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube without buffering. Peacock buffers nonstop. Thought it was just me but many people experience it with Peacock, they do something different with their streaming. Sucks, but guess there are bigger problems in the world…

We’re half an hour into the night show, and no qualifying replay available. It should not be that hard.

I'm having the same issue. Netflix and every other streaming service works fine. With Peacock I get poor picture quality and buffering....

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.
You can if you do it using a browser

The difference is Netflix is not Live and your internet cannot handle it. I have never had buffering issues unless staying in a hotel with shit wifi. If you watch the replays, I am guessing you will not have buffering issues.

My main gripe is that I don’t recall them redacting their whole “commercial free” deal. And the only complaint I have with commercials is that I have to watch a prerolled Peacock ad that inactivates my controls for 30 seconds and if I have the audacity to skip forward too far in the broadcast they serve me up another 15s ad without even having a chance to see where in the broadcast I’m at. Didn’t get a chance to watch from the start tonight and was looking forward to skipping all the BS but was continually hammered with peacocks ads

I'll start by saying I real shitty Internet. That being said I can stream Netflix anyone and never experience any issues. However, when I stream peacock, although I'm extremely thankful to be able to watch the races these days I always have issues,

Actually since everything switched over to peacock everything has actually been working. No real complaints other than you can't rewind the live broadcast.

Last year no rewind, this year no problems rewinding. I am using the same equipment as last year. ROKU, Peacock App.

Peacock is glitchy. Even the replay, you better not rewind because it might freeze and make you restart the app. And the live show, you have to turn it on and leave it be, dont try to go in and out of the app or anything or it will freeze

If you hate the Peacock app you are going to want to throw your tv out the window when you have to use the MavTV app to watch outdoors this year.

Live streaming requires more bandwidth/faster latency over a streaming replay, since it can't pre-load video because well... it hasn't happened yet.

For those individuals who live out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but LTE coverage that gives 1-4 mbps down. Maybe look into Starlink if you haven't already. An actual gamechanger. Costly for an internet connection but its amazing.

Ive really enjoyed it. Idk why a lot of people seem to be complaining about it but it gives me the ability to watch the sport wherever i am. If i get caught up at work or something or have obligations i can still catch the race on my phone. And its cheap. Idk what there is to complain about.

I usually only watch replays. Rds 1-4 did not have commercials. They showed up in RD 5 for me but then disappeared halfway thru. I pay for the $5 per month version and watch on the Peacock app on a Roku 3.

RD 6, 7 & 8 did not have commercials, for me.

And new for 2022, they cut out the dead time between motos so I dont have to ffwd.

I don't think peacock sucks, but, the director needs some work-the cutaways to the wrong action is getting ridiculous, or keeping camera on a 7-8-9 battle. I know it can't be easy, but I don't remember it being this rough.

And it’s sucks that even though you pay you can’t fast forward them! Same dumb commercials over and over. I didnt like the dead filming of the stadium either but at least you could fast forward that. I’d pay more to not get this mickey mouse crap

I miss ABCs Wide World of Sports coverage. They had the best track reporters and it only aired three months after the motos ended.
