Peacock

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

I'd rather watch the dang commercials than listen to that annoying sound in between game action.

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.

I did kinda like the dynamic of having a former Iowa QB & PSU QB in the booth talking shop for it though.

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.

Today, we are all anti-Peacockian.

Sorry boys, I don't mind Peacock. I had to watch the game at midnight Saturday and when you watch replays they automatically skip commercials. It makes it go even faster when you skip between plays.

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.
