Ahhhhhhh, I thought as much. That's why Comcast kinda pushed it as a great channel. Its always about the $$$$$$$$$.

This would be a nice collectible to win. The International Motor Racing Research Center's 2022 Sweepstakes is Now Open!You've got the chance to win a sold-out, Limited Edition 2022 IMSA GTLM C8.R Corvette Stingray Convertible in Hypersonic Gray. The 2022 C8.R Corvette Stingray, equipped with a 495-hp 6.2L LT2 V8 engine and 8-speed transmission, is the perfect combination of style and performance. Designed to honor the IMSA GTLM championship-winning competition cars, Chevrolet offered a limited-edition appearance package of which only 1000 were built - we've got #0011! According to Car and Driver, “Ferrari moves and incandescent performance make this Corvette a hugely desirable sports car with mass appeal.”

This is out of context I think..

Peacock isn't a channel, its a streaming service. So it's no different than watching YouTube TV, Hulu, etc... other than the content and affiliation with providers and what's free because of something else you pay for.

The benefit is that you just watch it, when you want. You don't need to worry about when it was on, or if you recorded it. For Comcast, similar to "OnDemand".

I've noticed the following on Peacock - An hour episode of Yellowstone is like 45 minutes, with about 3 minutes of ads in about 4 sessions, 30s, 60s, 60s, 30s (or similar). A far cry from 45 minutes plus 15 live on a network, and not so bad considering the time to FF/Stop/Play on regular DVR.

Thanks. I knew it was a streaming service. I just went back to see if Roar before the 24 was there. Right. So no need to tape. Thanks again. Good to know on sporting events. I thought the on-demand aspect would be just for certain movies and tv shows.

I wouldn't bet my life that what you see today is there tomorrow btw. I'm sure, just cable and other streaming services, there's constant negotiations on what's available and for how much.

Below freezing. Interesting that it takes several laps for the tires to warm up. And they get cold on the long straights. Hope the finish is as exciting as last year's IMSA Petit Le Mans race.

Been fun finding which channel is carrying what part of the Rolex 24 Hour race. NBC for the finish!

Yeah, its frustrating that the race is on so many different channels. I didn't watch all that much but did manage to catch most of action. The last half hour race between the two Porsches was really awesome stuff. And, who doesn't enjoy seeing the old spiderman climb the fence.
