You all realize Peacock is $5.99 for a month subscription, right? Why is everyone complaining so much?

Also, Peacock is a great Netflix alternative. It’s significantly cheaper and has a lot of great content. It has the office and parks and rec, Brooklyn 99, etc. it’s top notch.

About to leave for the bus over to WL. I think if we have 1 or fewer TOs we win fairly easily. If we shoot ourselves in the foot over and over we don't have he offensive fire power to mount any kind of come from behind victory.
Cautiously optimistic here, although my record attending road football games is rough. Was at Iowa in 99 for the Neil Rackers game but I'm 0-7 since. Let's turn that around today!

I’m going the cheap route and listening to the Busey Bank Illini Sports Network radio broadcast on SiriusXM that I’m already paying for anyway in my wife’s car. Which means that around 3:15 pm eastern time I’m going to tell my nine year old son “hey go grab your shoes because you and I are driving 110 miles to Poughkeepsie to get a pie.”

If you have it in your car you can get the app for your phone. It’s included. I carry my phone around like a transistor radio from the sixties, which is appropriate because I listen to Sixties Gold.

Fyi looks like Peacock also has a $39.99/yr (+ tax) promo subscription rate (promo code BIGTENFAN) for new subscribers. After a year, auto-renews at the annual rate then in effect (currently $59.99 + tax), unless cancelled in advance. LINK

I guess the $$$$$ that I pay for my kids education is working in my favor in that I save $4/mo on the Peacock subscription using her student email

I am just ‘borrowing’ my daughter’s login which she got free with a student Comcast account.

For anyone who takes any classes, the student account is $2/month. I took a graduate class in the summer and all I had to do was upload my tuition payment statement and it was accepted.

I'm new to Peacock. Is anyone else having buffering issues? Been trying to watch some of the Ryder Cup this morning. It runs fine for 5 to 10 minutes and then screen goes black with the rotating circle. If I go back to the home screen and click the watch now button it starts right back up, but then the issue repeats.

Anyone else have this issue? Any hints?

FYI: Frequently stream with other services (Prime, Netflix, Disney+, HBO, etc) with no problems.

Worst part is can’t record game on tv from what I can tell.
