Its not what I expected. Not much there to watch. Even their live channels, are mostly channels that are also available for free from other free services.

I expected more.

Its mostly for comcast customers....some kind of on demand addon app
and that's why it has made for Peacock programming, Brave New World, etc? They want to sell this to everybody. Comcast customers, TV and/or internet, customers get Peacock Premium (with ads) for free. There are tiers for non Comcast customers, a barebones level that is entirely free, Premium for $5 a month, and Premium Plus (ad free) for $10 a month. Comcast customers get Premium Plus for $5 a month.

Peacock is not exclusive to comcast cable box apps.

Its on a variety of platforms, it is simply missing from the two biggest.
Is it exclusive to TV sets on Comcast? I couldn't get Peacock to output via HDMI from my laptop. I've heard other say likewise for iPads.

It doesn’t work using HDMI from computers from what I’ve read. But you can cast it, or better yet use the app on a streaming box if it is available.

I dont think its exclusive at all, as I have watched it on a vizio tv app, and android tv app, in addition to my phone in testing.

Its available to anyone, the app is simply not on Fire TV and Roku yet.

I've heard from iPads as well. I had the issue with the laptop. Pops up an image of Puss n Boots and says the configuration is not allowed. But it is on Apple TV, but can't stream from an iPad via HDMI (unless the HDMI IS the problem)? So that is just weird.

Yeah, no idea why they’ve blocked doing it that way, but it is what it is.

I've never had much luck streaming over HDMI from an iPad. Most of the apps I've tried block it.

Started watching The Capture last night and I like it.
