    NBCSN showing the Mecum Auto Auction next week instead of Liverpool-Arsenal.

    Just like NBC Gold last year!

    I actually think Fulham/Villa should be on tv if I had to choose one.

    Clubs that aren’t in the hunt should be on more than just when they’re playing top sides. That’s a newly promoted club in a match that is going to be one of the best shots both clubs have at taking 3 points

    2 weeks in a row where the best match is on Peacock. People deservedly mad.

    I’d like to see both Monday matches on tv but let’s take a gigantic step back before we say that anything but City/Leicester is the best match of the weekend

    I feel your pain. It took me 30 min to explain to my mom why she doesn’t get the AppleTV+ service even though she has an AppleTV and they are not the same thing.

    No mom.... mom... MOM. One is a device, the other is a service/app. :killme:

    I thought I found a workaround to airplay from my iPad to my samsung tv by sharing youtube first then switching to peacock, but it only plays the sound :angry:

    Edit: just sideloaded on Firestick and it works. I feel like I just hacked into NORAD :mulletsmug:

    Did they just announce that the 730am Chelsea-Palace match would be on Peacock? Saving my rage until confirmed.

    edit: confirmed, come white knight for NBC SugarShaun

    Idk why you have a dedicated Premier League channel (which is just repurposed PL youtube content), and dont put your Peacock Plus matches on it back-to-back.

    Instead the user is forced to switch around in the Browse Sports tab after each match. Just have it run like a typical NBCSN inventory on one dedicated channel. With pre/post match shows there as well.

    But do you have a link? I have been checking the NBC website daily and it still doesn’t show what channel/Peacock anything is for next weekend

    I think he means after the Fulham game it should have just went to the Liverpool Arsenal coverage, instead of exiting the stream and picking the other one

    Thats not the point. The point is you have to click browse to begin with, when there is a dormant Premier League channel sitting on the home page.

    I mean when I watch anything on ESPN+ I have to do the same, have to do it on Fanatiz, had to do the same on Gold.

    I can’t recall any streaming service where it would just switch me to matches from the same league (Or with any other sport) without me having to go select that game

    It was announced at half of the Liverpool Arsenal game. Sounds like there’s a bunch of big name teams on there again this weekend.

    I can play that game too

    So we should expect every new thing to offer technology that no one else seems to have?

    that's literally a logical fallacy

    Fair enough. Guess my expectation for Peacock is different just bc its sorta held out as having all these live streaming channels; being a streaming service rather than an ondemand library. But I guess its not that, at least yet.

    A Premier League channel has a lot of promise. Letting it sit there with no programming on it is disappointing. And even when they do start using it, theres no Guide to their channels...just a 'whats up next' thing. Id love to be able to see ~ 12 hours into the future so I can know when the FPL Preview show is airing, or a Match Highlights show, rather than watch Michail Antonio spend 15 minutes predicting what his FIFA rating will be and hope something of interests comes up afterwards.

    The point of what I said to begin with was that no one else is doing this and I don’t know enough about it to know how easy or possible it is.

    You turn that into me saying that no one can expect someone to improve on something a competitor does which is incredibly stupid and not even close to what I said but you don’t know how to do much besides be a cunt so carry on.

    So I hadn’t ever noticed this Premier League TV channel on the app. For me it doesn’t default to channels or browse but “Trending” so I’d never even looked at the channels before.

    Now I get what he’s saying, I don’t understand why the matches aren’t on this “channel”
