Peacock Streaming

[jdb in AZ]

Did anyone sign up for Peacock so they could see the Chiefs/Dolphins game tonight?

DH knows the owner of a local sports bar who said that if he wants Peacock for one t.v. in the bar it will cost him $3500 per year. and i thought the fees for a private residence were price gouging.

I've been checking the score via the computer every twice in awhile. Go Chiefs!

Yes SO had an offer from AMEX if you spent $5.99 or more they would credit your account $5.99. So ended up paying some taxes for the month and then set a calendar reminder to cancel as SO is not to good at remembering lol

I think I paid 19.00 or so for a year. There was a nice offer last month.

I have the free version of Peacock and have had it for over a year and rarely watch it.

Public viewing prices are always more expensive than for private homes.

I pay $2.99/month through a special deal. It is normally $5.99/month. Unlike @tvguy I use it nearly every day. I don't have any type of broadcast TV, cable, etc. So I use Hulu & Peacock for all my TV watching. I pay less a year than I did a month when I had DishTV.

I already subscribe, I think through AMEX.

The question of "What streaming service do you watch the most?" came up as a topic at dinner with friends tonight. Peacock was the winner in our group, surprisingly.

Least watched went to Paramount+.

I think that may have been the black Friday/cyber Monday deal. We signed up. $22 after taxes. Haven't watched it once. We always sign up during these sales. Have Hulu and Disney + for like $3.50. Prime is the only one we have to pay full price for. Get MAX included with our AT&T Fiber.

Businesses get gouged. Any time there is some type of commercial operation, there is someone there to sell them a service. They think because they are a business they can afford to pay more. That isn't always the case.

DH signed up for it today. Talk about wasted money.

DS was glad he signed up. He wanted to watch the game & another show later this month. We'll be cancelling, after he sees the show he wanted to watch.

You should be able to get local channels for free with a set of rabbit ears

If only. I tried and could only kind of get a PBS station. TV reception as always be poor in the town I live in. It’s why I got cable years ago. If I invested in a roof top antenna I may be able to get something but it’s not worth it.

We did.
I went with the $5.99/month deal for right now. Probably will keep for a month or so - I'm not sure, will other playoff games be on Peacock? We have antenna TV currently with Prime & Acorn being the only services we subscribe to, so Peacock will offer a bit of different TV to watch for a bit.

All the Dick Wolf stuff is on Peacock. Most stuff on Paramount+ can eventually be watched on Peacock. If it weren’t for Hockey I could get away with Peacock and Hulu with the occasional binge session on Netflix one or two times a year. Peacock is hands down my most watched.

I pay yearly for Peacock + commercial free. I think it works out to $139 a year which is a steal compared to other services. I don’t watch football but the price for public display is going to be high for any service and brand. Always has been. While watching sports in a bar is a social pastime, a lot of people go to the bar to watch because they don’t have a package or service. These brands and companies are going to get paid one way or the other.

I did their $30 annual sign up for the first year promotion they had this week. I figured I’ll get in a few more binge sessions of The Office for a year then cancel it.

It’s less than what a bar tab would’ve probably been to watch it somewhere else.

 

[sam_gordon]

Nope. Didn't care that much about the game.

I signed up for the one year rate of $19.99 last month. As an avid IndyCar fan, their coverage is outstanding and was a great deal vs. $5.99/mo. for the racing season.

I also use it to watch any NFL game broadcast on NBC.

That's interesting because I was thinking of dropping Peacock and picking up Paramount+ We grabbed a Peacock subscription for some low-ball fee, but there's just not a lot there for us.

InstaCart had free trial deal, so we did that with a spam email account; refused to pay money for it. Gave Peacock, NBC and NFL an earful so they don't repeat this garbage again next year.

Loved this from FB last night...

My husband wanted to watch the game but refuses to pay for Peacock. He doesn't like that the game was put on streaming, especially a Wild Card game.
