Title: Peacock. 👎🏻
Post by: wisblue on March 12, 2025, 05:24:02 PM
I'm trying to watch the Iowa-Ohio State game on Peacock and I can only watch it for about 30 seconds before the picture flips to a preview screen for the upcoming USC Rutgers game.

The same thing happens on my iPad. It looks like this is a Peacock problem and not a problem with my signal.

When I tried watching Butler- Providence at first, I got error messages from Peacock, but eventually I was able to watch it.

Anyone else having problems like this? I'm going to be pretty irritated if this is how their coverage of these early round games is going to be, including the MU game tomorrow.

Are you saying the 'cock sucks?  Usually, it's the other way around.

I closed out the app and restarted and it's been working for 5 minutes now.

Working fine today, but there have been problems in the past. Flukey!

I got knocked off twice in the past and had to sign in again.

Edit: had some video quality problems briefly in the past and once today.

The only thing I notice with Peacock over the months, I have three Samsung TV's. Picture is clear. I have one Insignia and streaming thru a roku, is not the best picture.

I gave Pee Cock a passing grade too soon. Got knocked off 3 times. I have fiber to the house and watched on a HP laptop. 

Screen froze up once also.

Peacock vexed me both times MU played on it this season.

Not related to picture quality but I really enjoy the production quality of Peacock.  Think they do a good job.

CBS Sports Network on the other hand...

True, but it is difficult to appreciate the production quality when you are knocked off. At least I know what to expect from Pee Cock. BOHICA.

Never had a problem with the 'cock. Signal at home was very good. No pronlem.

Watched the last five minutes form my cell phone at Houston Interco. Great feed. No problems there either.

Is your ISP coax or fiber optic?

I use a Roku and have had very few problems with Peacock, which we've had for a few years now (free subscription with GolfNow).

During today's game, the picture did buffer for about 15 seconds and, during that brief time, I thought, "Sh!t, am I gonna have some of the problems that some Scoopers have talked about?" But then the game came back on with no other issues.

Still, I'm glad we're done with it for this season. I like to flip around YouTube TV channels to check out other games during time-outs, and it's such a pain to do when on Peacock.

Worked great for me all season. Can do without a 7 minute interview of D Wade from Fanta while the game is ongoing.

Ditto. I hate in-game interviews, even of people I really like (like Wade). Makes it hard to watch the game, for me anyway.
