Bronco7454 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I saw the other day where the Boise State @ Oregon football game is going to be televised ONLY on the (NBC) Peacock streaming channel. So for Boise State fans like myself it looks like I will have to pay $5.99 to subscribe to that streaming TV channel for one month (with advertisements) OR pay $11.99 for the same one month without the advertisements. I think it's worth it to pay the $11.99 myself. The biggest drawback to doing this - as far as I can tell - is there is no way to record the game as they do not allow recording. So if you want to watch that game you had better pony up the $6 or $12 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaztecs Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Peacock does have good programing. On the cheap. Especially a lot of older shows. Monk, Sanford and Son, Alfred Hitchcock, Kolchak, Colombo, Perry Mason, etal. Also, they carry many recent movie releases like Oppenheimer. I bought it a couple years ago just to see the Tour De France and discovered I liked their programming and pricing. So much so, that I dropped Hulu.

Spaztecs Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 For sporting events, there will be commercials. I pay for the low end package. The more popular prime time shiws do have commercials. The reruns and less popular shows usually have commercials at the start of the show. Not during the show. And, if they do, they typically last one minute or less.

It's another service to pay for and set up and when you start adding all the little fees to watch the games you want to watch, it starts to add up. It's better than the old days of pay per view but I get his annoyance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks - A. I don't go to bars and B. I prefer to watch football games with AUDIO. C. I don't live in Boise (anymore). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went ahead and paid the $19.95 for a year's subscription this morning. That's 12 months of service for less than $20. That's like $1.66 per MONTH. After that one year subscription the price goes up to $59.95 (according to what I read while signing up for my subscription this morning) but that's less than $5 per month. Big whoop. Lots of fools spend more than that for ONE cup of coffee at Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupslam1 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Oregon is pretty much a semipro team full of NIL four and five star players. After the UW debacle last year you may not want to watch the rerun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar/Frog Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I recently canceled Peacock after my $20 deal from last year expired. The ads were not too annoying. I got my $20s worth. I might even sign up again for $20 for a year. It is a reasonable value at that price. Quote Bye Bye, Best of luck! !!

I started off by binge-watching a TV series I have wanted to watch but had not had access to previously (Resident Alien) and from what I observed of that series the commercial breaks are 1 minute (or intro commercials of about 15 seconds). But they "seem" to be increasing in the number of commercials per episode to the point where it seems like there's a commercial break every 3 minutes.

If you re-subscribe it will be at the $60 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Maybe Boise's bag man can pay off NBCUniversal and have the game moved to NBC, since they saved money on Eric McAlister. Quote It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
