Niners Fan in CT Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 I liked Hulu +Live TV when I did the free trial. I didn't keep it because they didn't have NFL RedZone but maybe they will at some point. If they ever add that goodbye cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Peacock has started, based on ads I’ve seen on the NBCSN futbol coverage. They are putting all of Wednesday’s matches on there instead of the regular channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Possibly because I have Xfinity, but I've had Peacock for a little bit now and I've only used it once, just to check it out. It's weird. It reminds me of Pluto TV kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Y'all have perfectly fine reasons to hate the YTTV price hike, but we were paying $20 a month for Philo so the wife could watch The Challenge and Bar Rescue, on top of YTTV. I'll gladly take the $5 a month now saved (although I'll miss Viceland). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a place or two from Maryland that was worth my time though not long after the show they both went down the tubes. I kind of want to see if there's any worthwhile episodes if anything so I can try and justify the Viacom channels being added. I am annoyed at channels like MTV that pretty much turned into Ridiculousness 24/7. Alright show in bits and pieces but not worth devoting practically the whole day for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Ugh, we switched back to YouTube TV. The Hulu TV and Disney bundle was great and I think I like Hulu's platform more than YouTube TV. The problem is that you can only use Hulu TV in the same household, which is...weird. We share our subscriptions with my mom so she winds up paying dramatically less than she used to pay for AT&T Uverse (the only thing available in her apartment complex). Given that she couldn't watch Hulu TV since it was locked to my house, we had to switch back. I'm not thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Reminder for those interested - Peacock launches tomorrow I didn't realize there was a free tier (that includes some live sports) And as I mentioned in the wrestling thread - some WWE Network content will be available too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 We'll grab it for a month sometime in the next year to watch Psych 2 (for us) and the Cleopatra In Space show for the 8 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) I love the Criterion Channel. We started Bondarchuk’s WAR AND PEACE the other night (part 1 was great!) and now we’re watching GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA. Might fuck around and watch A MAN ESCAPED later.

Raziel Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 So, Peacock had every episode of stuff that's aired on Oxygen (the network my wife watches more than any other), and a 24/7 Bob Ross Channel... so I might not need another service again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Besides also having the entire run of the Carol Burnett Show, it looks like it also has all the Asylum flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Ok... I'm getting really tired of EVERY NEW STREAMING SERVICE FIGHTING WITH AMAZON AND ROKU!! FFS, I can't get new services on TWO OF THE BIGGEST PLATFORMS, this is ridiculous. At least with HBO Max you could sideload the Android app onto the Fire. I'm waiting for that workaround for Peacock. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where I'm at with Peacock, so it's too early for me to comment on their service. But have you checked out the new Roku channel with "live" TV? It's got a lot of the same stuff you get elsewhere, but the guide is better to surf, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's the result of this fight with Roku: The person who had the audacity to make a Roku channel solely filled with photos of peacocks is what I want to be when I grow up. That's some good bait and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah, the bullshit with Peacock and HBO Max with Roku has me concerned that we're going to see this from more streaming services, or worse, those services will work out exclusivity deals with, like, Xfinity set top boxes or something stupid like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says something that all likeliness with streaming should have gone "the biggest services just band together, slowly but surely, and eventually develop into a new cable", and somehow it looks worse that it looks more likely each streaming service goes so exclusive you can only get it if you own a streaming box specifically made by them.

odessasteps Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 My NBC Sports Gold pass ended today. This is the email I got from them: Your Premier League Pass expires today and will not renew. We are changing platforms to Peacock to allow you to watch binge-worthy movies, shows and more alongside your Premier League content. Subscribe to Peacock Premium and stream more than 175 live matches next season! Plus, watch exclusive originals, movies & shows, live news and more - all in one subscription.

gatling Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Found out today that as an Xfinity customer that subscribes to HBO I get free membership to HBOMax. Thankfully my wife actually read that e-mail from Xfinity today instead of deleting it like she does most of them. Thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else was unaware or paying for a membership that is unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the bullshit consumers have to deal with cable or satellite deals, now it's just with streaming platforms. Despicable, disgusting, and pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a server closet in a Top Secret work environment counts as being locked underground, then yep. Some of us have day jobs handling classified data on high security networks and do not have time to scour the internets for the bullshits. I'd hate you all if you weren't family.
