Peacock Is A Disappointing And Underwhelming Streaming Service
<p dir="ltr">NBCUniversal's <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/peacock-nbc-prices-discounts-free-trial-devices-shows-movies-roku-android-fire-tv-psych-yellowstone/">Peacock</a> has arrived, but if you're like most people around the world, there's a good chance you won't be able to watch it on your favorite TV, as<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nbcs-peacock-isnt-on-roku-or-amazon-fire-tv-yet/1100-6479743/"> it's not available on Roku or Amazon devices</a>. With other major services like HBO Max--which has the same Roku and Amazon issue--and the dead-on-arrival Quibi also launching this year, where does Peacock fit?</p><p dir="ltr">Sadly, the service--which had a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nbcuniverals-peacock-streaming-service-has-arrived/1100-6476061/">soft launch earlier this year for Xfinity users</a>--is a letdown from the get-go. Accessing a new streaming service shouldn't be an issue. Accessibility should be the least problematic thing about it, yet here we are. As mentioned, Peacock is not available on Roku and Amazon, which combined have over <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-fire-tv-beats-40-million-active-users-seeming-to-stay-atop-of-roku/">72 million active users</a>. Additionally, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-gets-nbcs-peacock-streaming-service-app-next-w/1100-6479698/">PS4 users won't be able to use Peacock until the week of July 20</a>.</p><p dir="ltr">It also isn't available on Samsung smart TVs. You can, however, use one of Xfinity's (Comcast) proprietary boxes to watch Peacock. Comcast users have the easiest time accessing this, but if you're like me and want nothing to do with Comcast, then your options are limited.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/peacock-is-a-disappointing-and-underwhelming-strea/1100-6479761/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
