Houses exploding, volcanoes erupting, wars, floods…..I get all that - but let me tell you about my personal dismay about the NFL’s streaming strategy….
Yeah, this has always seemed weird to me. Maybe has something to do with game audio also being on Sirius and NFL+, and their contracts protecting the mobile rights. Probably some arcane law or contract clause.
How is it gouging? They put the product out at a specific price. It’s at most $7 for a game. I would gladly pay that for every game if that’s all I had to pay.
Gouging is making me pay for 100s of channels I don’t want just to get one channel I do want.
The replays will be on NFL+ after the game, as will a replay of the game on NFL Network at midnight Saturday.
But the game is exclusively on Peacock and not on any of the other usual broadcast/streaming venues.
“Apollo Group TV DOES NOT broadcast any TV channel from its servers, nor is in any way connected with the channel broadcasting. Apollo Group TV is not responsible for any copyright or issues of linked and embedded content on our site. If you have any legal issues contact the real owner of streaming media.”
Sounds legit!
“I hate paying for all the different ways I need to watch the NFL.”
“I’m not going to watch the games for free on ‘those’ sites; I don’t feel right not paying.”
Oy vey.
I have used the HDMI interface route and it works great. Picture quality is very good. However, some sites, like I believe NFL Network, block the casting of the stream, so be aware that might happen with the game on Peacock.
Some of the ways Peacock is bundled with other things are hilarious. I had no idea Instacart gets you Peacock.
Dude, if you buy a 12 pack of Fruit of the Loom underwear, there’s a sticker with a code to get free Peacock. Just don’t get boxers; gotta be the tighty-whiteys.
