      Dear Danny Ayala: I also like the EPL, and 5 USD is not a bad deal. You can be even more skeptical and have *no ads* for 10 USD per month. ---------------- I was disappointed, though, that I couldn't watch the women's Olympics soccer live. I thought I could watch this for free -- but no, still, if the USA and GB make it to the next round of the playoffs, I will pay.
      Peacock does provide up-to-date news and highlights on various events of the Olympics.

    Been loving HBO Max. Disney + hasn’t been my thing. I agree, “Peacock” is NOT a strong name. 🍿
    No credit card required is a big leap of faith for them! I guess it’s such a crowded market they’ve got to swing for the fences or else.

    • @JakeBroe
      @JakeBroe  4 роки тому +1

      Haha, sounds like we are on the same page, Ross! I was also shocked that I didn't need to give them a credit card even for free access. I think NBC is trying to figure out what they want from the platform. If they don't get enough paying customers, I think they could easily just make all content free but then add full length commercials. That means 7 minutes of commercials and a 30 min broadcast for a TV show. It would just become their broadcast TV, but streaming on demand. I honestly would be fine with that. Then allow for a pay option to avoid commercials.

    @Jake Broe not sure about Mac, but on Windows the external display warning does not seem to apply to all browsers. Edge seems to work for most folks, but not Firefox, and mixed results on Chrome.
    Apparently NBC is restricting devices from outputting to external displays because they want to license the platform stakeholders separately (Microsoft Xbox has signed on, Roku has not, etc). Letting people do it themselves would eliminate their leverage.

    I live in a brick apartment on the opposite side of the TV antennas, so I can't get my local stations, even with an antenna. (No outdoor access). I just started my 3 months free premium. I would continue to pay if like CBS all access, it would include my local NBC live streaming. Also, if it worked with my roku. They're missing the mark by not including the types of services as CBS for the same price.

    Nice review. Have been watching the free version on my iPad since the first day this service launched. Lucky for me, none of your connection problems happen while using my table. My wish would be that a major network would have a streaming service where all their prior (1950's, 1960's, 1970's 1980's 1990's, 2000's, 2010's and 2020's) TV show content could be viewed. There are many NBC TV shows that are no where to be found not on Netflix, on Hulu, on the NBC app, or on NBC's Peacock service (i.e. Defying Gravity). I would pay $20 per month if, all NBC shows and every season of each show were on the same streaming service.

      I agree! I think it would be awesome to have every episode of Johnny Carson available on a streaming platform. I know my dad would love to watch programs that he grew up with in the 60s and 70s, but this isn't capable yet.

      Understand that the rights to air newer popular TV shows, may have been sold to others for a limited period of time. But, there should be many lesser know TV shows that, just like FOX's "New Amsterdam" (2010) and "Lone Star" (2008 ) only airing two episodes which, ran for only one season or less. As many of these TV shows as possible should be on any NBC streaming free or paid service.

    Was very disappointed to find out you can't stream all the old full SNL episodes... they cut out about half the show's content in many of the later seasons... no musical guest or weekend update, etc. The first 3 or 4 seasons have the full 65 minutes of content. Many after that are only 30 minutes they've cut so much out.

  • @grantbixenmann9159

    Friends while it did air on NBC it is not owned by NBC it was produced by Warner brothers television and the rights are owned by Warner brothers that is why it is on hbo max that is not saying that Warner brothers could license the rights to NBC so it could be on peacock sometime in the future but that is probably unlikely because they have advertised friends as a flagship show for HBO max

      The network shows aren't always made by the networks themselves. They often license it from outside studios like in the case of Friends.
      These things have lately become more relevant for audiences due to the "streaming wars" and the movement of content between streamers.

    2:08 WB owns Friends and Fresh Prince. NBC was just the original network that they aired on.
    Moreover, some of their other properties have either just started (Community) or are about to start (Seinfeld) multi-year exclusive runs on Netflix so their is not much that they've got left to play with.
    Taking away the free tier after a year or so would be a colossal mistake. It would only create an extreme backlash in today's hyper-sensationalized media landscape. If they wanted everyone to pay up eventually, then they would have only had an extended free trial.
