What is peacock tv on xfinity?

As a previous Xfinity Comcast subscriber, I’ll show you how to watch Peacock with Xfinity.

To get you started with Peacock, I’ll cover these points:

Let’s get you into this streaming app.

Peacock TV is a streaming service owned by NBCUniversal (a Comcast company). It hosts thousands of a combination of movies, series, Originals, live events, sports, and more.

The service offers free, paid, and commercial-free plans. Prices for each plan will vary. And when subscribing to their paid plan, NBC will give you access to more content.

Examples of what you’ll get include Peacock Originals (NBC-exclusive content) and sports.

Speaking of:

You can download Peacock on a myriad of devices. Noteworthy examples include the PlayStation 4 and Samsung Smart TV.

Watching content on Peacock WILL contribute to your Comcast Xfinity data cap. With the 1.2 terabytes (TB) of data you have available, you can watch [1]:

You can bypass the data cap by using Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots, paying $30 a month for the Unlimited Data add-on or $25 per month for the xFi Gateway Complete (modem/router combo).

DVR subscribers also can’t record content on Peacock.

Before watching Peacock on any device, you’ll need to create a Peacock account.

Follow this link to Peacock’s website and pick a plan.

Before, you would have gotten a free Peacock Premium subscription from Xfinity, but they discontinued this recently.

To watch Peacock on your Xfinity Flex and X1 TV boxes, follow these steps:

Alternatively, you can press the microphone button on your Voice Remote and say “Peacock.”

You CAN’T watch Peacock content in 4K when watching on the Flex or X1 TV boxes. Xfinity Comcast only specifies that these devices don’t support 4K (with Peacock).

Create a Peacock account and select your subscription.

Navigate to your device’s app store, search for ‘Peacock TV,’ and download the app. Open the app, log into your Peacock account, and select something to watch.

Peacock gives you a few packages to choose from that include:

The following section will cover each plan in-depth. I’ll cover pricing, features, and other exciting tidbits.

Peacock Free is NBC’s free ad-supported streaming service available to anyone. You’ll find enough content to keep you entertained for thousands of hours.

But you won’t find Peacock Originals, sports, and other series.

Peacock Premium acts as Peacock’s paid version of their streaming service. It costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 annually (18% savings).

You’ll find significantly more content on Premium compared to its Free counterpart.

I’ll cover these differences in a bit.

With Peacock Premium (and Premium Plus), you’ll have access to over 20,000 hours of content. Some perks you’ll have over the Free plan include:

Netflix has around 36,000 hours of content yet costs double the price [2]. You’ll TECHNICALLY get more value with Peacock. If you prefer NBC’s streaming platform’s content.

Keep in mind that I don’t trust the source too much on the site that I sourced for Netflix’s content hours. It’s an estimate.

Either way, NBC Peacock Premium gives you a decent value.

Peacock Premium Plus only differs from Peacock Premium because it offers an ad-free experience. It costs you $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year.

Again, you’ll save 18% if you pay for the annual subscription.

I found a trend when researching the number of commercial breaks in Peacock Free and Premium. Many people have said they’ve experienced five ads per hour-long show. Each 30–90 seconds each.

This research suggests 8.7 ads per hour or 4.6 commercial breaks per 22-minute series [3].

The former bit of research suggests 7.5 minutes worth of ads per hour. In contrast, the latter says 13 and a half minutes.

I don’t mind ads. Because it gives me time to use the bathroom or stretch my legs.

Everyone’s different, though. Determine whether you can endure ads. Or if you’d want to pay an extra $5 per month to eliminate them.

Devices that you can use to watch the Peacock TV app include:

* You can’t use first-generation Amazon Fire TVs and Fire TV Sticks to watch content on Peacock TV.

Let’s dive into the details on compatible Roku devices:

* Confirmed as Premium-subscriber-only plans.

Availability can change at any time. NBC may add or remove episodes or series when they feel like it. So keep an eye out for announcements. You may also not see some of these series or movies on the Peacock Free plan.

Comcast Xfinity specified episode/season availability for SOME series. So when going on the app, you may not see every season available for a series you want to watch.

You can also watch rare footage from The Office. Peacock calls it ‘The Office: Superfan Episodes. It’s great for anyone who can’t get enough of Dwight (or other characters).

Peacock Originals are series that NBCUniversal created and exclusively hosts on their platform. Here’s a list of series you’ll find:

NBC can more Original series at any time. So keep an eye on their platform to see whether they add content worth watching.

Here’s a list of sports you’ll find on Peacock Premium and Premium Plus:

NBCUniversal bought the exclusive streaming rights to WWE matches (non-pay-per-view). So, WWE fans can only watch a majority of WWE matches on Peacock.

Peacock adds and removes new content monthly. You can visit this page to see what series, sports, Originals, and movies they’ll add in the current month.

With series that NBCUniversal owns the rights to (like The Office), you’ll unlikely see them leave the platform. But with others, they’ll come-and-go.

Before you leave, explore some frequently asked questions about NBC’s streaming service.

To watch Peacock on X1 and Flex devices, utter “Peacock” into your Voice Remote. Or search for the app in the app store.

Using it on other devices requires similar steps. Open your device’s app store and search for the Peacock TV app.

Prices, speeds, channels and package availability may vary from area to area.

Although Peacock is a streaming service just like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, etc., but what distinguishes it from the other streaming services is that with Peacock, you can scroll through channels like on live TV. You can tune in to NBC News Now or Sky News or any live sports such as Premier League soccer matches and NFL playoff games. With Peacock Premium, you can even watch the Late Night with Seth Meyers or The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, hours before they air it on the traditional television.
