See ya there!
We already have it.
I believe we needed it previously for either the Blue $ Gold game or ND Cornhole Interhall Invitational...Rick
(To be clear off the bat, moving an ND game from NBC to NBC Sports, Peacock, USA, should never happen, and a failure on our administration. Below is merely my thoughts on Peacock, unrelated to ND's dumbassery.)
When the WWE Network shut down and migrated over there, Peacock offered four months for $10 total. Considering I was paying the WWE Network $9.99/month, that was an easy decision, even now that I'm out of the promo period up to $4.99/month or $49.99/year. To me, everything else on the channel is bonus. There's also a freemium version with a smaller library if you want to give that a whirl.
Peacock has some good TV shows and movies in its catalog. It's not up to Hulu's level (and certainly not Netflix or HBO Max), but not terrible, depending on your taste. I was able to watch Eurovision this year, the Indy 500 practices, and the Olympic trials through there. If I liked soccer, that'd be a huge plus as well. I believe NBC Sports is shutting down this year, moving everything over to Peacock. They definitely need to work on their UI though.
That being said, I would recommend paying for Peacock only if you're really into WWE, soccer, classic TV shows, or Harry Potter. I would not subscribe if original content, a deep library, 4K/HDR, and an intuitive interface and search feature is important to you.
Have been using it to stream IndyCar practices/qualifying for a year (NOTE: NBC is pushing 2 live races next season to Peacock Premium) as well as several NBC shows and Universal (Harry Potter) movies for the family.
My experience is that it is similar in performance and UI to Hulu, ESPN App, Disney +. We have Xfinity 200mbps internet service and rarely get any buffering if our service is operating. I can stream to my backyard as well.
the crap they pulled the last few years.
We have and use Peacock for the same thing as you, and I don't mind it. The interface and service are perfectly fine. But for Notre Dame football, it's another little deviation from what we know and love, and we are going to wake up one day and not recognize it at all from what we've been accustomed to.
And then wipe my ass with the 2 free Michigan football tickets.
A game vs a team like Toledo.
We’re all worried about the color of lipstick on the pig.
If I subscribe to premium NBC-affiliated channels in the future it will be to get track/running and/or cycling.
I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.
Thankfully the choice is made for me, as that day is opening day for my son's fall baseball league. I won't be watching ND and Toledo play regardless of the network.
But I don't want to subscribe to yet another streaming service. They'll need more than than a couple of ND games a year to draw my interest.
all Xfinity Flex customers and Xfinity X1 and video customers who have a subscription to Xfinity Internet or Digital Starter TV, or equivalent, or above.
It is not a bad service, and I do watch stuff on it semi-regularly. I don't think I would pay extra for it, however.
and crashes.
