Saints fans unite - don’t watch the NFL playoffs on Peacock (1 Viewer)

YoutubeTV, Sling, and I believe Hulu all offer “cable” packages that are month to month, you don’t sign a multi year contract like you do with Comcast or similar providers.

DirectTV will havce you locked down for life..lol

Accurate, they will send a rep to your funeral to get a new card on file from your surviving family for your TV service.

i mean, i pay $20 a month for just about every channel known to man with my IP service, does that count?

That's at least reasonable as long as it doesn't have buffering issues. And your money isn't supporting mega corporations so even better

i'm sure its supporting some dude in India with a buildng full of servers..

I get occasional buffereiing issues. but its rarely serice wide. and if i encounter it during a football game, i can watch it on many different channels (access to so many local channel accross the US).
Usually when i watch a Saints game, i use my antenna. because the IPTV service is always like a minute behind..

I have Peacock and will watch the game. I don't have cable and this sounds like a good game.

They stopped that last year.

Not saying your wrong but I hadn't that and I work for comcast. Also My peacock still works so unless an employee account still allows access or everyone that had activated their account was grandfathered in you MAY be wrong.

Peacock?

On this, I can agree. I doubt I watch anyway, but for dang sure I’m not streaming it.

In this time of division in the fan base, can we all unite this weekend and REFUSE to watch an NFL playoff game on Peacock? Even if you subscribe, just find a way to pass the time until the nationally televised games are on.

Chiefs-Dolphins will be for Peacock subscribers only, and will likely be the first of many “exclusive” playoff games if this one is a success.

Yes, you'll need Peacock to watch Dolphins-Chiefs (unless you're in the local markets)

On Saturday night, Tyreek Hill will be back in Kansas City.

If you have alternative ways of watching, then by all means watch the game. I’m not looking forward to the playoffs one day turning into essentially PPV.

But that's exactly what they want. I'd love nothing more than to see the NFL crash and burn. Just like any other giant corporation they've managed to ruin whatever product they deal in. The ONLY thing they care about is $$ and eventually they'll lose their fans. It would be the best thing that could happen to pro football. The NFL has ruined the game. This last season was a preview of how bad it's going to get. And let's not even get into the NFL's involvement in gambling. Pete Rozell and Paul Tagliabue (?) are spinning in their graves.

So yeah I'm down for any kind of boycott.

There's still football? Season ended for me last week. Haven't watched a playoff game or Superbowl since the NOLA no call.

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Wait.....people PAY to watch football on TV?

People still pay to watch football in person, surrounded by drunken strangers, but then complain about how much they are paying. Go figure.

 

[boutte]

You’re still not answering the question. Why should we not watch the game because it’s being played on Peacock. Did you boycott Prime and ESPN? I’m not arguing, I’m trying to understand the issue.

I did. And I have Prime. I'm sure the NFL is very concerned about that too. Expecting a letter of apology from them any day now.

I have comcast/xfinity and they canceled Premium access to Peacock for all subscribers and you had to subscribe to watch anything more than a s1 ep1 of any show. All live events are for subscribers only.

Oh. I thought you meant actual cable was easier to cancel than a streaming service.

You need to seek out a restraining order for either of them!
