Customers who signed up for NBCUniversal’s streaming service to watch the Tokyo Games are raising hell over their viewing experience even as ratings for the 2021 Olympics plummet, reports The NY Post.
Subscribers to NBCU’s Peacock streaming service flooded Reddit message boards over the weekend to complain about a lack of live streaming and glitches in their commercial-free viewing, among other concerns.
“I signed up for Peacock premium for the Olympics and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to watch live. What is going on?,” one user lamented. “For all the time I spent trying to figure out how to watch after paying, I could have found pirated streams hours ago. Is it even possible?”
“Omg it’s absolutely the worst!!!,” another Reddit viewer griped. “You would think streaming would be a godsend for the multisport olympics, but no, nbc had to go and screw it up. Nothing is on demand, i have to wait for replays at a scheduled time?!”
Yet another user complained of having forked over $9.99 for an ad-free experience only to be forced to watch blank screens where the commercial breaks had been.
“I’ve been trying to watch the Olympics opening ceremony, and apparently every time the LIVE air had commercials, you get a screen saying “Coverage Will Resume Shortly” on the REPLAYS. You have to Fast Forward manually to skip through them… I didn’t pay an extra $5 with No Ads to get a black screen every five minutes on a REPLAY,” the user griped. “What they’re doing right now is so lazy and effortless, I was EXTREMELY disappointed.”
