In order to watch every Liverpool game this year we need the following services.

Cable/Satellite/Streaming service - Premier League games
Peacock - Premier league games
ESPN + - Fa Cup and League Cup
CBS All Access - Champions League

This is starting to get pretty expensive when you add it all up.

This sums it up very well
Live sport and the respective money is in it is ultimately down to the fans whether you are at Anfield or in the States. Just added the costs and what I currently pay. Holy smokes.

Youtube TV (got to watch prem games on NBCSN) - $780 per year
Netflix - $156 per year
Amazon Prime - $120 per year
HBO - $180 per year

Currently pay $1236 per year

Could add
CBS all access - $72 per year
ESPN+ - $50 per year
Peacock - $60 per year

Even dumping Youtube TV and then getting the add on streams for all the games makes it $638 per year

Can't see much point in Youtube TV anymore as I only got it as I only got it to watch the premier league. Now that it is all on Peacock then I don't see a point for it. Everyone else in the family watches Netflix or HBO.

The problem with that is all of the games aren't on Peacock. And, if they are on NBCSN or NBC they aren't available on Peacock live. If Peacock had every single game I'd happily subscribe.

Everybody is different so I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this but for me due to Covid I find paying the $15 extra a month for Peacock, ESPN+ and CBS is worth it. What else am I going to do with that money and what else can I get for that same amount of money? I'd rather watch live sports at home than pay for the chance to get sick around a bunch of idiots that think wearing a mask or keeping your distance, let alone staying outside, is some type of left wing conspiracy for pansies. Even in the before times it would cost me $100 to take my family to the movies for 2-3 hours or even more to have a nice dinner or $60 for a game which now they want $80, etc etc.

we dont' need espn+ as we are out of the league cup, until the FA cup starts. I know money is a different situation for everyone but compared to england we have it great. This is what I have
Sling Blue 30 bucks a month
Peaccock 4.99 a month
CBS al access 5.99
That is 41 a month to watch every single game, except FA cup, and come january i will add espn +.

sounds just like nbc gold then. they only have a few games per week and rarely the ones you really want but just enough to piss you off

4pool · « **Reply #6607 on:** October 20, 2020, 08:36:53 pm »

I have a digital antenna, so i get NBC for free basically.

Peacocktv..took the punt before the season for $29.99 for a year.

CBS All Access...paid the $49.99 for a year.

I have Fubotv but they jacked up the price so end of the month off to Sling for $30 a month, $360 per year to get NBCSN and FS1.

So basically for $440 per year i'm sorted to watch all our matches.

I'll use a pirate stream for our Cup matches that are on ESPN+

Purchased Peacock a few weeks ago...and just pulled the trigger on CBS All Access. (All while still paying huge bucks for Verizon Fios) This is getting to be a bit much.

I wish I could hold strong and not pay for CBS but I just can't miss a very rare Ajax/LFC match...

It seems like you can have Peacock Premium for free if you have Xfinity Internet Flex. Has anyone tried this? https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/peacock-app-faqs

From what I can tell, Xfinity offers Flex for free as a way to keep competitors like Roku or Amazon Fire out. I am going to order a Flex and see if this option really works. More info here https://clark.com/streaming-tv/xfinity-flex-review/

Peacock is such a shit streaming service. Netflix runs fine prime runs fine load up peacock and looks like I’m connecting with an old modem.

Yes. I cancelled my xfinity triple play (or whatever) and signed up for internet only (massive savings). As part of that I get peacock premium included. It comes with a box (which I think they call flex) that’s kind of like an Apple TV except you can’t watch YouTubeTv or anything else that might compete with Comcast cable. So I just use my smart tv for the peacock app.

My biggest complaint on these apps (peacock and cbs all access) is you cannot dvr and start from the beginning. Today (like Wednesday) I have my lads game that ends at 215 CT and so I could start 30 minutes late. Instead I have to what for the match to end and peacock to post a replay. Shocking user experience.

I have a Samsung TV that is about 4 or 5 years old. When I search for Peacock I don't get any hits. Is there a way around this? I do hope my TV isn't already obsolete.

Many thanks in advance.

Try this... Yes it's for Firestick but substitute Samsung and see if you can download it this way.

Do you get no pre-game build up if you only have Peacock? It's 4 til the game starts and it is still "Coverage begins shortly".

Plus they're flaky as hell. The first couple of games I couldn't get to load a game on my FireTV (it is side loaded as no official app, so kind of an excuse). CBS All Access also wouldn't load the stream. Had to watch both on my laptop. The NBC app and Sling always works

This is very annoying. And, on cbs all access, you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can watch the replay

I have a Firestick 4K...no problems running Peacocktv or CBS tv all access.

Once in a red moon I get the spinning thing for a second or two then straight back to the match.

So i'm not sure why others are having problems. It helps to delete cache and force stop aps you're not using as per the youtube videos i've linked from curiosity cafe.

Thanks for this as always 4pool. You’re much appreciated.

For what it’s worth this didn’t work for me. Peacock was a disgrace today. Like watching on aol dial up. I get 300mbps and router/modem right next to tv. Really poor

I only get 60-70 mbps on my firestick and it works fine for me..

I think the difference may be the processor speed on the Firestick4k-- Processor Quad-core 1.7 GHz.

I doubt an older tv, and probably some new ones, has a similar speed processor.

4pool · « **Reply #6625 on:** October 25, 2020, 01:25:14 am »

Also, fwiw...I bought a second firestick 4k for the tv in the bedroom which is a basic tv, no smart tv with aps. But does have hdmi ports.

I paid $29.99 for it during the last two day Prime event instead of the $49.99 normal price.

If one is interested probably black friday and Christmas time they'll be back on sale.

Probably right. I’m using a Sony 2015 smart tv. Still that should work ok.

I bought my Sony in 2015..lol. KDL55W950B.

Retail list was $2,000, I bought it for $1059.99..

Seemed a deal back then..lol. Keeping owners manual and sales receipts helps...lol

I always thought the search engine was slow. I rarely used it. The Firestick is lightning speed compared to the Sony.

I hope CBS sorts out their stream problems. First poor sound. Then no picture. Then it comes back. And again as Bayern about to kickoff, no picture again.

I've tried on Firestick and laptop. Same problem for both.

Well, picture comes back as I type.

Hope they've sorted it for our match later.

If you guys want to avoid paying for any of these service there is a service I found that is free and works fantastically. Have used it since the start of the season with very little issues. Reluctant to post it on here directly as I fear sites like this get monitored for streams and they get shut down. PM me and I can send you the info.

I have no connection with this site and this is not some ad trick. Just willing to help out fellow reds as I am tired of the constant changes with US football tv.

This game is on Peacock Premium. An additional 4.99 a month. I now have to pay for 3 different services/channels to see Liverpool play. I can only watch 1 of those channels on my actual TV. So pissed!!!! We need to boycott like SOS did!!

From before the season started:

Q: After games end, how soon will the games be available on-demand via CBS All Access for those who miss the live broadcasts?

A: In speaking with a CBS Sports executive, he said that the broadcaster will try to get the games available on-demand as soon as they can after matches end. Since this week will be the first time they’re doing it, this will give us the first indications of roughly how long it’ll take to be uploaded. Certainly, all games will be available on-demand the same day at the very least.

It seems to me they do come up very quickly the same day. I've just never paid that much attention as to how long after.

I cancel Peacock right after the match, so I don't auto-pay another month if we don't have any matches on there. I went in to re-activate today and I qualified again for the 7 day free trial. Not sure if it is a bug that you can get it more than once, or if they don't care as long as they get more subscribers.
