NBC’s Peacock is here: 5 ways to get the most out of the streaming TV service

NBC’s new free streaming service Peacock launched on Wednesday with over 20,000 hours of shows, movies, news, sports, curated channels, trending highlights and exclusive originals — about two-thirds of which you can watch totally free. The platform is home to popular shows like Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock; classic movies like Jurassic Park and The Matrix trilogy; and a big back catalog of shows and movies from a variety of networks and studios. (Unfortunately, you won’t find NBC’s biggest hit show The Office on Peacock until January.)

You can stream Peacock on Apple devices like the iPhone and Apple TV, Google devices like Android phones and Chromecast, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation 4 consoles, Vizio SmartCast TVs and LG Smart TVs. But at launch, you can’t watch on popular Roku or Amazon Fire TV devices. 

Whether you’re sticking to Peacock’s free tier or you’ve subscribed to one of the premium tiers, check out the tips and tricks that we’ve found so far to help you get the most out of the new streaming service.
