Peacock this season

[Minz]

Are the ISU YouTube streams geoblocked?

Always, with a few exceptions of past events that the ISU re-streamed during the pandemic

Also @moonvine if you have a smart TV, you might be able to download your VPN app directly onto the TV

Does anyone have a phone number for Peacock tech support. I did email earlier but now can't find the email address I used. I'd appreciate an email address if anyone has one for Peacock.
Thanks!

Yes they are. That's why we use VPNs.

Oh man that is a great idea.

Here is email. I don't know about phone. I used chat. Their support reps are not native English speakers. They did try their best to help me.

Well, Skate America is in my time zone, and there is "Downton Abbey: A New Era". So Peacock for this month.

After that, VPN set for Gambia or whatever here I come. Fortunate in that I prefer to watch skating on my laptop. What Grammy needs most is ease of use.

And replays

I want Gracie to be life sized. Not on a 13 inch screen (no, my TV is not that big, alas)

@moonvine you can also connect your laptop to your TV, either through wireless connection or with an HDMI cable, and use the VPN to watch that way. You can even extend your screen so skating is just on the TV screen and GS/whatever else you want is on your laptop screen.

Hey, this is good. I wish the people in charge at peacock could see this.
I don't have instagram, so is there another way to view this? Is this post like Change.org, where people can sign it or something?

That's all I do anymore. If the skate is on Goldenskate/comps/youtube link then I can take my smart tv browser, go to the forum with a wireless keyboard and mouse, click the link, and boom, I am automatically on Youtube. And the quality is great. If no workable link on the forum, I just plug in my lap top HDMI into my 42 in Hi def tv, move the couch close before it fills up with dogs, and the video quality is excellent, and the surround sound audio is great.

No, but one could be made.

Update - VPN guide is going to be delayed. I have a minor concussion and am not really allowed to look at screens.

I promise that l the guide will be up a few days before Skate America

Just wanted to let you guys know. I’m off now!

Is it possible to still just watch live GP events on Peacock? I get it for free because I’m a Comcast subscriber. I’m also retired so normally can watch events in real time. I understand that someone with a full-time job cannot always watch in real time. Just hoping that I will be able to watch all skaters for free, in live time, and not have to deal with normal-TV coverage with ads and Johnny/Tara.

Yes, Live streaming on Peacock should be available for all of the GP. Here is a schedule of dates and times for all the events planned for NBC, USA, E! and Peacock:

As far as I know, Peacock is still a go. Dont know if the J/T show will be part of it. My own plan since I am a visual person is to make a physical calander with every channel and time someone will broadcast part of the event. My touchdown would be a VPN so I can watch ISU on demand.
Moonvine said something about youtube TV being something I can catch some of the minor channels on if the VPN doesnt work for me or Peacock fails

Well I looked at the schedule and the only event that is really terrible for East coast is NHK and some of Worlds. I'm not happy, but I can watch most live.

Any particular reason you are chosing not to use a VPN? I know nothing about them but at least the Operah browser one is free.
