Peacock Question

[navery12]

What is the operating system of the TV?

I'll have to double check when I'm home from work but I believe it's the Tizen OS

I have no issue rewinding, pausing, etc. Only issue is that it's not as easy to rewind/fast forward with control so you can blow through things, or have to go slowly.

Same here. I have the Peacock app on a Roku TV that pauses, ff and rewinds no problem but is very quick doing so.

Yeah if you use that for streaming, yuck. Aside from the TCL/Hisense Roku TVs, the streaming OS on smart TVs sucks. Samsung's is among the worst. LG and Sony have Google, which is still bad, but better.

@Waquoit I'm a bit shocked that my attempt to type "Test" was autocorrected to "Teat", I would more likely expect the opposite to happen. Copenhagen Test is pretty decent so far.

I heard that autocorrect is so good these days it reads thoughts.

It's brutal, the design sucks. I have a fire stick lying around somewhere, I should find that and see if the Peacock app works better that way

Unclear whether TV brand or OS matters, but with the Peacock app using Roku it’s possible to pause, FF and rewind. Quirky as you and Chuck mention, but possible. Tested and worked rewinding during a Xavier game ad last night.

It should. The TV OS developers don't have the resources to put towards the apps. A Firestick 4k is like $40. Less on Prime days or whatever. Roku 4k on sale at Amazon for $25.

Peacock is also on NBCSN which my cable co gets so I can tape it there too. I have Hulu which I mostly use because I can tape and skip through the commercials which you cannot do on Peacock

Peacock plays just fine on my YTTV, under NBCSN. All functionality including recorded

I told my wife we have to go old school and get a VCR so we can pause, rewind and ff certain entertainment choices

Is there usually an Olympics thread anywhere? I still like to follow some sports and there is always some sort of scandal. Crotchgate!!!
