Love the 4K resolution, but the rest? Not so much.

Ya ever try to watch the replay in Peacock. Brutal & unbearable. I went thru two commercial breaks that can't avoid the 90 seconds and said F it.

How difficult is a sync
I watched the replay today. It was 2 hours 27 minutes and there were zero commercials. It skipped over all of them and I did not have to fast forward through anything. It did have some of the halftime show but again, none of the commercials. That was a nice surprise.
I just watched it on replay and the commercials were already edited out?

It's not too bad now that they make YouTube videos of their broadcast.
Between the audio and the video, you can briefly pause whichever broadcast is ahead of the other and get them pretty close.
The audio broadcast is posted on the Iowa Hawkeyes Official YouTube channel.

With the replay, I think it depends upon which version you purchase. The basic version forces you to watch all of the advertisements.
And, this probably isn't exclusive to Peacock, but fast-forwarding and rewinding is a nightmare. Even one push is way too fast, and you can't see the actual footage as you go. Very frustrating.

Not really...
There's 40 seconds between 99% of plays. With Peacock each FF click is 10 seconds. Once the ball carrier is down, I click three times and then the QB is ready to take the snap. Rinse and repeat. You can see every bit of action of a football game in a little over an hour.

I do that alot. for this game the synching was hard.
Audio was about 20 seconds ahead of Peacock on my laptop and about 50 seconds ahead of the peacock on my RoKu TV stream.
So I heard it, watched it on laptop, and saw the same play a bit latter on TV. Finally it was too much and I just turned off the audio..
We had ND-USC on the TV.

Unfortunately, our remote doesn't work that way. One "click" is the slowest FF, but still lightening fast with no associated image to show where you are at, so it's a lot of back and forth to find the right time.
Which version do you have? With the basic version, I've always been forced to watch most of the commercials. Maybe they changed it recently.

Ahhh.
I'm watching on a Roku TV and every time I click forward on my remote it jumps 10 seconds and I don't have to click ok to start it again. So with a 40 second play clock I just click 3 times and it usually jumps right to about 4 seconds-ish before the snap.
I have the $16.99/month version without ads, I'm a big Olympics guy and to get all the track and field events you had to have Peacock, since the last Olys were live when I was sleeping I watched replays and it was worth it to me to have the commercials etc. get skipped automatically.
Can't wait for Winter Olys btw...

Damn, yeah, I had to watch the replay and it forced me to watch all the commercials. Brutal. I think I have the $12 version.
