Peacock TV

I am curious if someone who lives in the streaming world can answer this question. This is one of the things that I am not sure of on completely cutting the cord. Take a look at the Open coverage next weekend. There is streaming coverage on Peacock in the early morning and then there is streaming coverage on Peacock when it is on NBC. But the time it is on USA Network, it appears that that there is no Peacock simulcast - only special feeds and following key groups. How would you watch the USA Network coverage if you were in just the streaming world? Or am I misreading the chart and USA Network coverage is on Peacock?

the nice thing about streaming is if something is REALLY important to you, you can just sign up for a month (or get a limited free trial) for the period in which you want to watch. a 7 day YTTV trial will fit nicely into that 4 day weekend

Thanks for the info on this. I still have Dish, but once ESPN launches their DTC product, it will really make me think twice because so much of what I watch is sports. But there are these one offs that I don't have to worry about with the cable bundle.

I sub to Peacock. Looking ahead it appears that they will provide the entire Open over 2 days, the 17th and 18th. That includes the USA coverage.

I should qualify that. I believe Sports on Peacock now requires a Premium Plus sub. That gives you ad free, sports, and your local NBC channel.

Yes, I was just coming back to point that out. So you will be able to watch sporting events with the Premium level.

Just my point here. WWE Smackdown, which is on USA, has no streaming option on peacock. And to top it off, the full episodes are a month behind on there. I forget but I think NASCAR is the same way when they're on USA (they're not on USA until a few weeks from now).

so I looked today on Peacock and it shows Thursday a bunch of golf options... they have something called "The Open: All Access" along with specific group channels. Looks like the All Access is just highlights maybe?
If the document you posted only shows USA then maybe its like other USA shows that Peacock doesnt have live (like NASCAR and Wrestling)

I just took a look and Peacock does NOT have a way to access the USA feed. At least not that I can find. The All-Access is basically RedZone channel for Golf - at the beginning they mentioned that they will go between USA Network, Sky Sports, a featured group, and highlights. So I don't see a way to get the USA network simulcast on Peacock like you can with the NBC coverage later in the tournament.

That's what I figured since as examples WWE and NASCAR are the same way. No 'live' feed during event on USA but NBC has a feed when they are on that channel.

It is rumored they will lose the WWE to Netflix, I wonder how many subscribe just for that?

Me!!!!!!!
But I'd be bummed as I do not subscribe to to Netflix

I thought that was a done deal? Netflix holds just raw and international until the license on the remaining domestic content expires at EOY, at which point they get it all?

I believe it to be a done deal, just not official yet, Peacock's deal runs until March 2026.

Never needed Peacock. I tried it for one month a few years back, when it came out with Saved by the Bell a new season and there was nothing else that appealed to me.

The more I see streaming going up every year in price, I think they are just recreating cable packs, that we all went to streaming so we could avoid paying for channels we didn't watch. We have come full circle. Thank God, for ota and Tablo and Air tv. The majority of all programs we watch are on the ota Networks. Those are free. The rest I can sub to in streaming while something I like is on, then dump it.

Keep in mind that cable and satellite have not stopped their price increases every year or sooner so at the present pace streaming will still be much cheaper than traditional cable and satellite prices.

Spectrum just had their 2nd increase of the year.
