Wow $30 more per year. Peacock will probably not get renewed next year at that price. My wife watches it more than I do, but much of the stuff is on NBC which we also get via our OTA/Channels DVR setup. Peacock will likely be the first service we drop full time.

FWIW: My annual plan will renew after the price increase, so I downgraded to the Standard ad-free plan upon renewal.

Yeah, the reporting on this is all over the place.

Just got an email:

More details trickling out: https://www.jalopnik.com/1999629/apple-signs-exclusive-deal-broadcast-formula-1-in-us/

If I read this correctly, it includes F1TV Premium, so you can theoretically use the live broadcast trick-play via the F1TV app, assuming they don't disable it for US ATV subscribers: Edit: later reporting makes it seem like the Premium content will be in the ATV app.

Did you try them on a different HDMI port or a different TV?

I assume this is on the Android streaming boxes? https://www.theverge.com/news/798174/directv-glance-ai-shoppable-screensavers

The newer remote still has touch functionality, but you can turn it off. This works 99% of the time, until you come across an app that requires it for certain functions, such as changing the audio feed on F1TV. I just use my iPhone for the remote in those situations. I still like Roku a lot...

I didn't even know I had access to this thing I am now losing. They did a terrible job of promoting it -- not that I am interested in watching cable news.

I get it. My parents in their 80s didn't really want to switch from Spectrum Cable to YTTV, but the 45% cost savings (at the time) made it worth their while to learn how to cope with the changes.
