OT: Peacock

[dfr1966]

Anyone else’s feed freezing lol? Poor so far. Pacheco having a day

No issues here. I'm watching Peacock through my Directv Gemini, very smooth and picture is great

 

[greenknight]

Such bull shit Comcast double dipping scumbags

 

[tico brown]

Anyone else’s feed freezing lol? Poor so far. Pacheco having a day

Feed is pretty good

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

Crystal clear image on my TV. Better than regular cable.

 

[newell138]

This is a test run…

Wait until the NFL start charging you $9.99 for each regular season game and $29.99 for each playoff game.

I could see that one day in the future they charge you to watch the superbowl

 

[Rufaninga]

No issues with the service

 

[RU205]

Xfinity

I have optimum. I think they now offer different speeds.

 

[Jimpeg]

..one day will not be for a long time for a super bowl going only PPV...
over 100 million people watch the super bowl (apple tv is 25 million, peacock 30 million subscribers while amazon has 200 million) logistics for PPV to bars/hotels, etc based on head count is not an easy sell...
last year the average viewership for the six wild card games was 28.4 million... lets see what the viewership for this first peacock game is...Most do not remember the resistance to an ESPN only game in 2015 and that backlash...

Just as I said earlier. Great to see real 4K broadcasts.

 

[DJ Spanky]

How many Taylor Swift sightings so far?

 

[RU205]

How many Taylor Swift sightings so far?

Not many. Kelce might have more drops than catches so far.

 

[Knight Shift]

 

[Zak57]

Commercial free 4th quarter. Great idea.

 

[wheezer]

Anyone else’s feed freezing lol? Poor so far. Pacheco having a day

Yep
Several times during the game

 

[ashokan]

Boring games today.
Michigan v Washington was one of the few good football games I saw this year.
RU v Miami was also good

 

[LotusAggressor]

How many Taylor Swift sightings so far?

There were way too many. Let's hope the Chiefs get beat in the next game so we don't continue to ruin the games with this BS.

 

[ashokan]

12 minute highlights

 

[RUaMoose]

I have no interest in NFL games even without the streaming hoops to jump through.
Tons of guys are always injured and the play is mediocre.
Refs are deciding games that are choked-up with endless stupid/loud commercials and replay timeouts.
I just skip a lot of games now and watch the extended highlights online.
A football game really boils down to a few plays and isn't worth the 3.5 hours of vegetating anymore.
Games used to have pacing and tensions and now they are drawn-out montages of stitched clips.
Peacock lol.

"A football game really boils down to a few plays and isn't worth the 3.5 hours of vegetating anymore."

Agree. This year I started showing up at the bar with Sunday Ticket to watch the Bengals game end of 2Q, beginning of 3rd. Just not worth the 3 hour time investment as the game will generally boil down to one or two plays in the 2nd half like you said. NFL's gotten like the NBA in that regard.

 

[tico brown]

I’m looking for the I SURVIVED THE NFL PLAYOFFS ON PEACOCK memes/GIFs.

 

[knightfan7]

Yep
Several times during the game

What bothered me more was the audio being several seconds ahead of the video in the 1st half. Several times you knew what happened before seeing it.

Its not just the football telecast
I started watching the programs after, and it would freeze up occasionally also, so the problem is with the general transmission from the cable outfit
I see it worked fine for many, I use Optimum with this as an add on

Me too

Tonight's Rams-Lions games is also airing on Peacock.

So instead of spending hundreds to getting a cable subscription and watching on NBC, you could watch for a couple bucks with a Peacock subscription.

 

[newell138]

Glad to hear it wasn’t just me I thought the streaming SUCKED. It kept freezing and replaying 3-4 second clips every once in awhile 3-4 times in a row. This would happen at least every 15 minutes or so

Peacock's exclusive NFL stream of Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game irks fans

Sports radio legend Mike Francesa slammed the NFL over its exclusive deal with Peacock to stream the playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins.

[NickRU714]

My stream was perfect on Xfinity.
Sounds like a cable provider issue and not a Peacock issue.

Oh my bad - cable providers never make any mistake.

 

[NickRU714]

So now Mike Francessa is the authority that everyone wants to agree with?
The guy who fell asleep at work couldn't figure out how to watch a game?
Shocking......

Isn't NBC still a free network?

So instead of watching the free OTA feed, you can pay $6 for an otherwise useless "me too!" station.

Technically correct.

But how many people tuning into the game are watching NBC for free?

 

[HeywoodGiant]

The Wisconsin game was on peacock & it kept freezing

Not sure of your point, NBC is free and basically available everywhere.

 

[NickRU714]

Are you watching for free tonight?
Made sure your antenna is set up right?

Most (all?) people complaining about Peacock are not watching NBC for free tonight.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Are you watching for free tonight?

Yes as a matter of fact I am.

 

[RUInsanity]

Yes as a matter of fact I am.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Get serious! We've got an antenna mounted in the attic!

 

[NickRU714]

Get serious! We've got an antenna mounted in the attic!

Wait. Really dumb question - doesn't have to be outside?

 

[NickRU714]

Yes as a matter of fact I am.

 

[MulletCork]

Get serious! We've got an antenna mounted in the attic!

We had that on the roof of my mom’s house with an old school remote that made it rotate. The 80s were something else.

I had to take that thing off the roof a few years ago and illegally dispose of it before selling the house.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Wait. Really dumb question - doesn't have to be outside?

No, you can definitely have it mounted in the attic. The guy my parents bought their house from up here in jersey had a radio/electronics shop, and he had 2 antennas mounted in the attic, I assume for different frequencies. Huge things I remember.

 

[Tango Two]

Good luck to them on that.
