I’ve always started watching the race about an hour after it starts. This allowed me to rewind to beginning and just watch the racing and skip talking, commercials, etc. Last night, my fire tv would only allow me to rewind a few minutes and then stop. Tried on multiple different fire TV’s. On my computer though, it allowed me to rewind to beginning as normal. Anyone else have this problem? I thought maybe it was whatever tier of peacock I have, which is same I’ve always had, but weird I can in a computer and not tv.

Yes, my rewind function always works differently depending on which device I'm using to watch the race.

I had the same thing happen. I was always able to rewind to the beginning, and nothing now.  Also on a Firestick.  I tried to pause as well, and only stopped for about a min and then started playing again.  Ive had the Premium package from the start and havent had issues before.  I didn't try it on any other device.

I watched through web browser on laptop and started about an hour late and was able to rewind to the beginning. Skipped through the fluff and caught up right before mains.

Yep my Samsung tv doesn’t allow me to rewind. I joined the race late as I could’ve swore I read 7pm central time and couldn’t rewind. So dumb!

Hoping this was more of a glitch than a permanent thing,  but we'll see

Yeah, forgot about that as well. By time I got to 450 main I had caught up on time, so switched from computer to watch on my tv. I paused it while at the gate to run to restroom and it had started itself by time I got back. Moto is the only live stuff I watch, so not sure if it is a peacock thing or "SMX" thing.

Same here.  Rewind worked on the iPhone, no-go on Fire Stick. Glad it’s not just me. Anyone have Peacock IT phone number?

Was able to watch from the beginning on my phone, tried it on the iPad and it let me go back to around the end of 450 heat 1, TV only let me go back about 30 seconds.  

 

One thing of note is on my phone when the event concludes and im still watching, it'll kick me out and I have to wait for the replay to be posted to finish watching, this time it let me watch the "live" broadcast til the end even though the race had been over for a couple hours.

Peacock hasn’t caught up to the regular standards of a VHS yet.  Maybe that’s the $39.99/month plan coming in the future

Yep...peecock sucks. I too couldnt rewind via Firestick like I used to be able to do.

I tried an appletv device, same.

I'm not 100% sure what will happen on my Sony google tv, but I will try it in a future race.

Roku TV the same. Paused before first moto, came back 10 minutes later and the TV had started playing while I was gone and race was over. It did not allow rewind so I was SOL. This is maddening!

I just went to peacock and clicked on live basketball and skiing events, and had same issue. I could only rewind a few minutes on my tv. Not sure why some devices can and some can't now? I could see if it was what type of account I had, but can rewind on my computer still. My nephew said his was fine on TV, believe he has an apple tv.

Same issue on fire stick. I came in after finishing dinner, expecting to be able to rewind to the start. I only missed the opening through the first 250 heat. I didn’t try on any other device, just yelled at the tv(peacock) for a few then settled down to watch. Still muttering at peacock.

Just streaming live from my smart TV I can't pause, rewind, nothing.

But the replay I can do all of that, but you have to wait until hours after it is over the see the replay.

 It is frustrating watching it live and not at least being able to pause. Peacock app sucks, has for years. 

It is the only streaming app (and we have many) that I have this problem.

Edit to add- and the audio doesn't match up with their lips, there is like a half second delay.

Yes - Amazon Fire Cube rewind did not work on the preview show and the night show.  I posted on another forum about it.  Had to wait for the replay on Sunday morning to watch.

 

BTW - I had a lot of issues watching on Sunday.  RW/FF stalled many times and I had to back out and restart, then sit through 2 minutes of commercials every time.  Peacock went backwards into the stoneage on this one.

Just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this Fire TV issue?

Might just have to rob a Chromecast from another TV no problem with those...

I have Apple TV boxes 

They always allow me to rewind and pause 

Plenty of nights I’ve come home and the race has started and I just rewind to the beginning

After the first week, all my fire TV’s have been fine. I start about 8:15 and rewind to beginning and just watch race and ff though commercials and interviews.

I was using a chromecast from my phone and it would let me rewind on my phone but when casted to my tv it was doing this bs. I noticed my parents appletv let them rewind so I literally bought an appletv just so I had this function. Absolutely ridiculous.

My Sony TV is Android and allows full rewind, pause, etc., however, Peacock sucks.

I always have the best results with my laptop plugged into my TV. "Smart TVs" in my experience shit the bed at like 2-3 years old. Not as a TV, just as a streaming device. Roku sticks or boxes seem pretty good and last longer also. Nothing beats plugging the laptop into the TV tho. I plan on purchasing a mini pc eventually to just keep plugged into the TV at all times.
