Cycling on USA TVs, desktops, laptops, and handheld devices

I use Mullvad, set it to Canada and you're golden. Even works on a Chromecast. I am going to be so angry if Peacock doesn't have the world feed

then be pissed off

 

[fbjim]

thank g*d i still have an annual flobikes sub for some reason

 

[Carols]

No World Feed, Phil & Bob and Commercials when I have Premium

 

[houtdffan]

Peacock finally confirmed to me there is NO WORLD FEED for the entire tour

 

[scribers]

These commercials are killing me

 

[ManicJack]

Did TJ VG quit as a director at EF? Flipped peacock on to check it out and see studio nonsense.

TJ presence is better than the all Aussie crew they rolled out last year.

I gave it 10 minutes. The video quality is better than Flo but I prefer to see the race.

I agree. The writing is on the wall for me. I stay in for the nostalgia, but the commercials are going to obliterate that desire

I've been tracking. The average is 10 mins of cycling, 2 mins of commercials. Repeat.
Better than when it was on TV. It was 6 mins cycling, 4 mins commercials.

But we've become used to zero commercial shows!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

oif you have a vpn you could look for World Feed in the the other countries ...

Maybe Asia or Africa

it wasn't so bad, they showed the last 90+ minutes commercial free

If you have a vpn then you can try the Aussie feed at SBS.

Do you have knowledge that the English language world feed is freely available to somebody with a VPN in Asia or Africa? If so, be specific please.

SBS is a good English language alternative, but I believe they have adverts too.

I wasn't keeping track, but that is a good thing. However, I'm paying a premium for the "no commerical" option at Peacock.

I pay for "sports premium " also and use it to watch multiple sports. Please inform me where it says "no commercial" option is available.

 

[Potomac]

I'm away from home, so I just have my one laptop with me.
But when I get back maybe I will have another computer and VPN to some foreign language state broadcaster so when peacock goes to adverts I will can watch the action on another screen.

I guess it's a "limited exclusion". Sucks to pay for multiple access points just because we are selfish and demand what we want.

NFL and NCAA football
Baseball
I wouldn't assume these sports would ever be advert free.
Maybe there are some other sports that seemed made for advert breaks.
They don't interrupt soccer. They shouldn't interrupt cycling.

something has to pay for the coverage because cycling-driven subscriptions sure as *** do not

My suspicion is NBC doesn't even come close to covering their costs for the TDF. Instead, there is a VP somewhere in the organization that loves spending the month of July in France drinking wine, eating gourmet food, and watching cycling and no one dares tell him "no."

its the comcast legacy. They owned versus. When they bought NBC, they moved the TDF over

It's the product that made their network. They likely will never get rid of it for legacy reasons
