It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

What provider are you using? I have FiOS, I just assumed Peacock is a pay service and didn't even look. Now that AP Bio is coming back on Peacock, they are tempting me. So far I'm protesting. MiB seem to be Peacock only now, too. ESPN went full streaming for FA Cup, leaving me with a 3 hour bass fishing tournament instead of the FA Cup Final. I think it's time to ditch cable and buy a bunch of streaming channels. I never even watch TV anymore, just don't think I can get my wife to agree to cut the cord.rass wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 6:13 am I want to feel for you guys but we have Comcast/Xfinity and all I have to do is click a button on the voice remote and say the name of the app and (a couple of minutes later once it loads and once I'm able to find the game because it isn't always on the home page and the browsing interface is super clunky) and the game is right there on my TV, all as part of my normal subscription.
Yeah, me too, though watching the game I feel like I’m at the tail end of an acid trip with the tracers and weird lag.rass wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 6:13 am I want to feel for you guys but we have Comcast/Xfinity and all I have to do is click a button on the voice remote and say the name of the app and (a couple of minutes later once it loads and once I'm able to find the game because it isn't always on the home page and the browsing interface is super clunky) and the game is right there on my TV, all as part of my normal subscription.

While I've known for awhile that Peacock is "free," I totally agree they did a terrible job getting that word out. I thought it was a pay service for at least a month after it launched in July.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:21 am Oh, shit Peacock is free! I just assumed it was a subscription service and got pissed off at NBC. For some reason, I read the comments on a Peacock ad on FB, and thousands of people all angrily calling NBC greedy and refusing to sign up. They really need to do a better job letting people know it's free. The best was someone saying they will switch to Bundesliga because it's on cable TV, and someone pointing out Bundesliga was moved to ESPN+.
It's definitely free with the right Comcast subscription presumably because Comcast and NBC are part of one bighappyconglomerate family.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:21 am Oh, shit Peacock is free!

For those of us not lucky enough to have Comcast for cable, (such an odd sentence, as they were by far the worst cable service I've ever had), there's three versions. Free has some stuff, but nothing live (my guess is NBC shows at least a week or so after initial release), a $4.99 option which adds live sports (and is the minimum level you need for live EPL), and $9.99 which is ad free.rass wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:29 amIt's definitely free with the right Comcast subscription presumably because Comcast and NBC are part of one bighappyconglomerate family.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:21 am Oh, shit Peacock is free!

When it was first announced I thought I read that there might be a free/ad-supported version but I have no idea if that is the case and if so whether it includes the EPL.
Ah, I have a Samsung TV, probably why I didn't find the app. This shit is getting so confusing.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:28 amWhile I've known for awhile that Peacock is "free," I totally agree they did a terrible job getting that word out.

Thing is, it's still not available on Roku or as a Samsung smart app, so it's effectively still dead to me until they get that sorted. I just read this morning that they came to an agreement, but it will take weeks to get the app up on the Roku platform.
Stupid. Will the games be available for streaming on NBCSN website like they used to be? At least a few games each week that don't require the gold membership? Really shitty if they make people buy two subscriptions.
I don't think there's an NBCSN streaming option any more. They still do a ~12 minute or so "extended" highlights thing for the NBC Sports Youtube page that's free, and looks like is posted a few hours after the game is complete.The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 1:29 pmStupid.

I watch those the rare times Arsenal games aren't available in full, but I always see the score when looking for those. The NBCSN website was great, as they had an option to hide scores before searching for a video of the game you want.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 1:32 pmI don't think there's an NBCSN streaming option any more.

They brokered a deal that was announced on Friday. It will take time for the app to appear on the platform, apparently.

How in the hell isn't the entire team isolated via contact tracing?

Tottenham v. Leyton Orient Carabao Cup match postponed due to "widespread coronavirus outbreak" at Leyton Orient. EPL requires testing before every match, but it's not required for Cup matches. Tottenham paid for LO players to get tested, and they must be glad they are. I'd love to see a conspiracy theory where Tottenham paid off the testers to declare widespread positives in order to force a forfeit. This could be bigger than the Argentina drugging Brazilian players during the 1990 World Cup!
I doubt League Two can afford rapid tests. That is the 4th tier down in English Football, and the lowest level of "League Football." There are lower "non-league" flights, which I assume is like semi-pro, but I'm not well versed on that. League Two is like a Single A baseball, but without the affiliation to big league clubs, so there is very little money in it.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:17 am Well, as a lifelong (3 day old) fan of Spurs, I am outraged.
Or mildly interested in the idea that Leyton Orient's league isn't mandating testing. That's a risk they decided to take, and the clubs were likely allowed to follow suit or up their game. They took a risk, it didn't pan out... Tottenham onto the next round.
