The Peacock app still sucks, especially with commercials

I have peacock and mostly watch the Olympics on it, and have for quite a few Olympics and the app has always had the same issues, especially with long Olympic events. If you pause a long event sometimes when you come back it jumps back to the beginning, which is a huge issue because you can only fast forward by jumping ahead 10 seconds at a time and you are forced to rewatch all the fixed commercial breaks! Especially problematic with 2+ hour events! And the worst part is the issue has persisted year after year! It is so annoying I will often just give up on events, because it is so frustrating!

NBC/Universal’s new streaming service Peacock has launched, and it claims to be free, free, free, free, but it really isn’t

So NBC/Universal launched it's much vaunted Peacock streaming service last night and I took a look at what is available.And yes there is free content with commercials, but all their original shows and even shows like Cheers only allow you to watch one episode for free before you have to pay for their premium content starting at $4.99 a month with commercials.What first struck me was it's dearth of content. Each category that came up seemed awful short and so many of the shows repeat again and again.And how much of the content is paid. And I wouldn't mind that since some is free if it with adds, but it the campaigns that said Free, free, free, free, free, free, free, free which makes me question it more. It actually makes me think they are going to get sued for saying it was all free!As for the content, this to me is just like CBS all access, if there is something I will watch I will pay for a month, and if not I won't care a lick about it. Maybe once the new Battlestar Galactica comes out, but really I would be happier with a continuation of the original instead of the reboot.
