Yeah. I don’t mind paying for Peacock, just frustrated I can’t stream it on my RokuYoutube TV isn't going to help with Peacock. If it had it i would probably stay.

Million times better than the NBC Gold service. I agree it's a pain that it's streaming only but, at least the app is good.fecking crock of shit this Peacock service. I don't mind paying the $5/mo to see the games, I'd just rather be able to watch it on my TV and not a computer. I guess I'll have to sideload the app on my FireTV since they have yet to agree on terms with Amazon for an official app.
Yes, it's a fecking disaster. Hate it. Pretty much the reason for the United performance, not the lack of a preseason.So has NBC basically moved nearly all the games onto fecking Peacock?
I’m pissed. Cable is expensive enough. I don’t care that it’s just $5 a month... they literally showed every game on my cable subscription already before this. It’s not adding anything, it’s taking away. fecking bullshitYes, it's a fecking disaster. Hate it. Pretty much the reason for the United performance, not the lack of a preseason.
Guessing so. Only seen two matches on the tele this weekend - 3pm EDT kickoffs. Don't get why they've made this decision, unless they believe millions will subscribe.So has NBC basically moved nearly all the games onto fecking Peacock?
Aren't the games available on peacock as reruns. Thus no need to record?I facking hate Peacock/NBC. I cannot record the games for the kids and me anymore. Not a lot of free time with the 4 kids, sports etc on the weekends...having the games on the DVR is huge. I hate it.
But then you’ve gotta be in front of the TV for the re-run, right? A DVR you can watch whenever.Aren't the games available on peacock as reruns. Thus no need to record?
Seemed that way last week, I'm away from home so can't check xfinity/peacock atm.
Greed. It’s the only explanation.Guessing so. Only seen two matches on the tele this weekend - 3pm EDT kickoffs. Don't get why they've made this decision, unless they believe millions will subscribe.
Exactly. You lose the flexibility and I get it free so do not have to pay 2x like many for NBCsports and Peacock.But then you’ve gotta be in front of the TV for the re-run, right? A DVR you can watch whenever.
Either way, they’re billing it as some awesome sauce and really they’ve pulled tons of games off tv that they’ve just been showing in previous years. Bastards
I haven't checked but i would hope they have the games available for a bit of time after showing them live . Only thing is you have to be careful to avoid seeing the score if it's not set up right. Hope they have a 'no spoilers' option. I'll check shortly because i record games regularly on DVR because they're so damn early. 4:30 a.m.? Riiiiight.But then you’ve gotta be in front of the TV for the re-run, right? A DVR you can watch whenever.

This is the new paradigm. Every fukin channel has its own streaming service for 5-8$. Doesn't seem a lot but when you add all the streaming services ads up to 100$ or so. Guess what we are back to the same costs as bullshit dish TV or direct TV nonsense. I can afford it but it's nonsense. So many people can't.I’m pissed. Cable is expensive enough.

Nobody does. Direct marketing of drugs to consumers is immoral because normal people don't have the wherewithal to verify the claims made. Every other Western country bans the practice, at least partly for the aforementioned reason, but it's just part of the US's vast Big Pharma complex.I dont get why America needs to have so many drug ads though.
The real bitch is that you often now have cable AND the streaming services (maybe not a lot of them but still). I mean if I cut out the basic cable package, my overall cable/internet package cost doesn't move much. I'm getting real sick of it.This is the new paradigm.

Will need time for shakeout and consolidation before it gets better.
They’re going to kill it in the US if they continue with this stream only nonsense. Part of the reason the ratings were so high was due to broad exposure on standard cable and over the air TV. Hardcore fans will pay but they’re going to lose a lot of money. Although I’m questioning my decision to sign up after watching our season opener. Make me suffer.I can't see how it makes more sense for NBC from a revenue perspective to have the games streaming on Peacock rather than on NBCSN or NBC. Advertisements have to worth a lot of $ and you are getting a lot more eyeballs if the game is on NBCSN than Peacock.
It also felt like they were building momentum in terms of casual sports fans here in the U.S. and have wrecked that with this constant streaming of the games.
Do you have Xbox or Playstation?So the Amazon Fire stick doesn’t carry this Peacock( sick of saying peacock) app. So my Apple Tv is too old to download it. Now I have it on my phone and mac but the airplay wont mirror the match on tv only the audio. This is a nightmare. Roku just signed up so I suppose I need to get that to watch this fecking app on tv.
Agree-hardcore fans will subscribe but casual fans won't hurting their viewership #'s.They’re going to kill it in the US if they continue with this stream only nonsense.

So the Bundesliga is behind a goddamned paywall too???From my understanding this was the weekend to push Peacock, most games will be back on NBCSN still. I downloaded the CBS app 30 day trial for Europa League and it was terrible.
I keep waiting for ESPN to put Bundesliga games on the ESPN or ESPN2 hate that they are all on ESPN+.
With all of these pay walls I guess I'll be pirating...
Precisely this. You already need a subscription to watch NBC and you got to pay additional 4.99 to watch this peacock. Wtf.so now you need to subscribe to at least 3 different provides to watch football in the US. I had cable only to watch PL now i am not sure
NBC/Peacock - PL
Carabao cup - No idea where
CL - TNT and univsion
FA Cup - ESPN 2
Yep enjoyed it on Fox but is on ESPN+ for the next 5-6 years. Hoping they at least put some big games on ESPN or ESPN2. Would be huge to get some casual fans watching.So the Bundesliga is behind a goddamned paywall too???
Well, BeIN sports it is. Looks like I’m gonna become really well acquainted with LaLiga
Carabao Cup and FA Cup are on ESPN+.so now you need to subscribe to at least 3 different provides to watch football in the US. I had cable only to watch PL now i am not sure

I always watched the BuLi on Fox. I enjoy the pace of the German game and was a casual “fan” of Gladbach whenever they were on. feckKKKKK 2020Yep enjoyed it on Fox but is on ESPN+ for the next 5-6 years.

CL is on CBS now. TNT was an abomination for the CL, almost as bad as Fox Sports and Fox Soccer and that was a dedicated soccer channel. When Fox appointed that american baseball announcer for marque games it made my ears bleed. I subscibed to Peacock to watch United. I won't catch as many of the other games. The great thing about it being on cable was turning any game on and watching or listening passively while doing something productive. I won't go through the trouble of turning on a stream to do that.so now you need to subscribe to at least 3 different provides to watch football in the US.

I'm too old for games. My son took that tech to college 3 years ago. I ordered the damm Roku stick. Just such a hassle to watch a match these days. I remember reading results a week later in the NY Times in the 80's so I shouldn't moan too much but NBC had a great thing going and now this. I really feel bad for older people than me who are not tech savvy and now have to scramble. My mother called me today from FLA asking about Peacock and efn Roku and streaming. It was like a bad Progressive commercial trying to explain the procedures to just get a match to come on her TV let alone an Iphone that she doesn't know how to use.Do you have Xbox or Playstation?
I downloaded airplay on amazon and yes it let's me watch Peacock but the live games and replays specifically for the PL doesn't show video only audio. The highlights work but that's about it. I cannot figure it out hence the Roku ordered and delivered by Tuesday.CL is on CBS now.

I don't care about the domestic cups enough to pay for streaming and I don't watch any other sport. I'll find stream on reddit if it's a good tie. One thing is certain, NBC has lost a lot of viewers over this.
Edit: for anyone wondering about how to get Peacock on an Amazon Fire device, it's very easy to side load apps now. Google it and you'll find a page with easy to follow instructions. No more PC apps that you need to connect to the device on your network and downloading the APK from sketchy sites. You basically download the "downloader" app, relax a security setting in the developer settings, and then download the APK from a media share link. All from the FireTV/stick itself. Sounds sketchy but it's legit.
Same here, enjoy watching Dortmund and RB Leipzig when they were on. ESPN did the same thing with Serie A, it's stuck on ESPN+, they usually show one or two games a week on ESPN2 or ESPN News but the matchups are awful, they rarely show Inter, Milan, Napoli or Juve.I always watched the BuLi on Fox. I enjoy the pace of the German game and was a casual “fan” of Gladbach whenever they were on. feckKKKKK 2020
So true. I remember seeing that Serie A got picked I up by ESPN and being optimistic - I used to watch it on Fox (I think) years ago when I first started dating my wife - only to have it dashed to bits by that ESPN+ crapSame here, enjoy watching Dortmund and RB Leipzig when they were on.

I have been on the fence about Disney Plus for my little one. They have a bundle that is $13 a month for Disney, ESPN+ and Hulu. This might be the only way I go for it. After Europa on CBS and Peacock this weekend I might just keep to my couple of "free sites" for streams. On principle I feel like I just can't after already paying for cable.So true.
