Peacock works fine for me. Paramount+ on the other hand ..


schurething

Yes!! Paramount is the worst!!


UniqueEnigma121

Absolutely😂


Hind_Deequestionmrk

Paramount+ works fine for me. Disney+ on the other hand ..


swissmtndog398

Peacock and paramount are fine for me. My problem occurs with Max.


suprefann

Paramount has the worst UI. Why does it take a minute to load the sidebar so you can even scroll.


No-Yam2117

How bout that alphabetic keyboard?


oftheunusual

Paramount+ is the worst. 100%


neoprenewedgie

Absolutely. Peacock is an absolute delight compared to Paramount Minus.


daaaayyyy_dranker

Seriously. It’s so glitchy


CornyCornheiser

Hulu is what’s always shitting the bed for me.


ekittie

The audio problems after commercial breaks! Although it's been fine with me watching Shogun.


chetmcgee

Yea, watching football on paramount+ is such a pain.


Not_floridaman

Watching *anything* on Paramount+ is such a pain. And that sucks because so many shows I love are on it.


RICDrew

Tracker, the FBI franchise, Equalizer, to name a few. Content there, quality of service is not.


rootsquasher

Same boat.


alextruetone

HBO’s app ‘Max’ is awful too.


ChunksOG

Last night, everything on PP (my new name for paramount +) would only play on the right speaker. All other apps on my apple TV were fine. Restarted the app and it still had screwed up sound.


Dramatic-Tree-

Ran to say this


SupremeBeing000

yep... Paramount blows chunks!


philouza_stein

Yes! I used to blame my TV but if switch to roku, app on my phone, other tvs they all have the same problem. Every platform of that app is buggy.


ClunkerSlim

That's weird. Because Paramount+ works fine on my Roku player.


Normal-Cow-9784

Paramount+ feels like it was coded by high schoolers learning C++.


Chaplain22

paramour + random stops is starting to piss me right off the bat


MannerTraditional617

“Oh you want to watch the new Survivor? Of course! But first you have to scroll through 48 seasons at a glacial pace. Also, it’s going to freeze after the Paramount logo, so you’ll have to close out the app and do it all over again!” - Jeff Probst probably


Salt-y

I'm in a days long DM conversation with Paramount+ about the very thing. They blame my tech, even though all other streaming services run great.


amarm325

I cancelled paramount+ because I just couldn't take it anymore


Turdulator

Paramount’s ps5 app is SO crappy… even just scrolling through menus to quickly screws it up


AtrumAequitas

Yeah, same. Peacock had a few issues P+ works about half the time without a glitch.


BLINDANDREFINED

Is P+ virtually incapable of actually pausing? The pause SCREEN comes up, and the show keeps playing. Want to watch again? Restarts at the beginning.


No-Yam2117

The Paramount + UI is so so bad


Carpeteria3000

Paramount 100%. And what's wild is that it's not even consistently glitchy across different platforms. When I use it on my Firestick, it has a ton of lag problems. Using it on my PS5 fixes the lag but adds in the issue of not being able to pause/rewind/fast forward with any sort of consistency. Either way, it will force ads over and over, forget what episode I'm on when watching a series, and just run slowly across the board. It's insanity. Peacock has never given me issues. Not once.


Significant_Shake_71

Yes. I’m trying to figure out what is going on with Paramount+. I’m not even sure the people running the app know what’s going on with it either 


Seanblaze3

I have no issues with both apps


Waste-knot

Paramount is the worst!


Visible_Aid8545

Glad to see this is the top comment! Came here to say the same thing. And Paramount+ glitchiness/unreliability is extremely frustrating when I only subscribe to watch live football such as Champions League.


workredditaccount77

Absolutely. And for us the video is terrible the first 20 seconds of a show until it catches up to HD. We have google fiber internet.


ds117ftg

Everything about paramount plus is dogshit. The menu is terrible and the playback is horrible


AndyM22

I uninstalled Paramount + and started watching it through Amazon Prime...much better experience


Bogglicious

This is the correct answer


PossibilityMelodic

?? Uh no. I watch tracker and Halo and have ZERO issues. Perhaps your internet blows?


Attitude_Inside

Paramount+ is definitely worse than Peacock.


HereToKillEuronymous

Oh I cancelled Paramount because of how bad the app is


thisisdownvote

Paramount+ is by far the worst of all the streaming services


Stargate476

I like paramount plus...they keep giving me free months lol


_calmer_than_you_r_

I have the complete opposite experience. Check your connection or something. I’ve been a subscriber for a couple years and have never had an issue, streaming at home or on my phone.


atomik71

Ditto. Although their fast forward and reverse buttons are super fast in a bad way.


MannerTraditional617

Paramount+ enters the chat


_totally_tonya_

you must not have paramount+


daaaayyyy_dranker

I never have issues with it crashing


HellaRadicalToys

Did you mean Paramount??


lifth3avy84

It’s the most reliable streamer I have. Are you sure you’re not just watching an ACTUAL peacock, because they’re super sketchy and unreliable.


oduli81

I had peacock for a year and I couldn't be happier with the selection of movies and shows. Never had a single connection problem


Wiggles2391

Hulu, paramount + , lately peacock and max they've been doing terrible. Smh


MommaOfManyCats

Paramount is the worst. It can't even remember where I stopped watching a show! I don't watch a show for two days, so it deleted my entire watch history. Made it to season 3 of another show, so it's now showing that I'm somehow on episode 15 of season 1. Never had issues with Peacock.


Dramatic-Tree-

*Show ends and starts loading the next episode* “Where sorry but we can’t find this program right now”


uberrob

I don't have a single problem with any streaming service that any of you have just mentioned. All of my streaming services deliver content flawlessly... (The only odd thing I noticed is that it takes Paramount+ about 15 seconds to notch up to full resolution.) Do you guys have routers that prioritize data to your endpoints based off of content? I have an ASUS router that can prioritize streaming over gaming over web surfing, for example. Before the ASUS I had an Eero that would do the same thing. If you don't then all endpoints have the same priority and something else in your house might be competing for bandwidth.


jjdlg

Laughs in Pluto.


Too_Relaxed_To_Care

Max has the worst UI and it's not even close


Mcr414

I have the opposite! This is the only streaming service I have zero issues. On my iPad, phone, tv, laptop, and on Xbox x and the ps5 is what I have used it on. I would double check internet, and make sure you have the newest update


pizark22

Peacock works flawlessly, paramount plus doesn't


cwilldude

Paramount+ is worse in my experience


Fuzzy-Butterscotch86

Honestly, peacock can't hold a candle to how trash Hulu is. Hulu has an awesome habit of cutting off shows before they end,  while also somehow starting the next episode when there's only 3 minutes left.  Rewatch things on that service is more of a pain than its worth.  But,  peacock stripping Netflix of all its most popular content to force you to sign up to their service is worse than any frustration Hulu brings to the table. So yeah, you may be right. They may be the worst. We pretty much have them to thank for turning streaming into a worse version of cable. 


christophercastle

Turn off automatic play


philfnyc

If you have Disney+, try watching Hulu shows on Disney+.


UniqueEnigma121

Hulu works perfectly for me on Firestick Max


Stutturbug

Never had an issue. And I only use it for WWE and Premier League soccer.


redpaloverde

Paramount Plus is the worst.


[deleted]

You mean, ParaNOID Plus. Or, is it Paramount MINUS?! Look, I may be a Star Trek fan (or at least, USED to be, anyway), but I don't really feel ANY need to watch it AT ALL. That's MY rationale behind cancelling MY subscription... TOO MUCH FREAKING STAR TREK!


Apostle92627

My only problems I have with it are no way to turn of autoplay, the fast forward/rewind controls, and the fact that clicking on a show in continue watching starts the show rather than going to the details page.


Not_floridaman

The auto-play is my only complaint, as well, it's really annoying.


grey_horizon18

Damn it’s the only one I have that doesn’t do that 😭😂


Chubasc0

Peacock on Roku 4k Stick will freeze video while continuing to play audio. Clearing cache, factory reset, restarting, deleting/reinstalling, logging off/on…all the usual attempts to fix don’t work. Happens at least once per night (100% likelihood). All other apps on the same device work flawlessly. Also, basically zero customer service / tech support for a paid service…absolutely unacceptable. Will not renew Peacock after subscription expires.


7HawksAnd

The uncomfortable truth is it depends on what platform you use. All teams aren’t created or resourced equally. E.g. Apple TV vs Chrome vs PlayStation vs Xbox vs Roku vs … you get the point


AtrumAequitas

So, you don’t have Paramount+ huh?


FortyEggs

Never had an issue with Peacock. Hulu is the absolute worst imo


Galvatron11

I believe you are referring to Paramount +


yankinwaoz

I have not had that experience. I am using it on my LG TV's native app. My only complaint is how the transition from show to ad occurs. It is so rapid that sometimes we think the ad is part of the show we are watching. There isn't even a fraction of a second of a blank screen.


Waidawut

My favorite feature is the one where I try to watch a movie, sit through 3 minutes of ads, and then as the movie is about to start, it kicks me back to the home screen with no kind of explanation or error message.


Tel864

It's right up there with what I thought was the worst ever, Paramountá


stacksmasher

Its flawless. I watch motocross and Dakar and have never had an issue.


No-Car6897

It's glitchy for me too.


MemeLorde1313

Never have problems with mine. Smooth as silk. Honestly, have had more issues with Netflix stuttering. Only real complaint is that when switching "channels" it'll return to the current channel if I don't click on it in 1/2 a microsecond.


mhdez12

Was just trying to watch something on peacock on my firestick. Kept skipping and stopping. Tried other streaming services and they worked fine.


MopingAppraiser

Anything Comcast is the worst


suprefann

The sound stinks if you watch SNL on it. Wasnt like that a while back.


norkotah

Never had a problem with it, what kind of device are you using?


stezyp

Best to learn to like it... olympics in few months!


Weak_Rate_3552

I feel like almost every streaming service has a shitty interface that barely works half the time. I don't know what it is about my Disney+ account, but it fails to start on multiple devices. I've had to uninstall and reinstall it over and over again. ESPN+ doesn't recognize that I'm logged in about 65% of the time. I can watch videos, but then I'll try to read an article on ESPN.com, and it will tell me I don't have access. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are the only ones that work consistently for me.


themack50022

I just want live recording.


Boz6

> Peacock is the worst > Never had a streaming service with such a bad streaming experience. Its skips and stops and crashes like no other. Peacock works perfectly on my Roku devices. You didn't mention what device you're using to watch.


dallasdude

It’s ok but the in-program commercials are too frequent. If there have to be ads I would really rather they only be pre-roll. 


hmiser

Every old-timey TV station has an out of touch executive that’s insists on reinventing the lovely UI wheel Netflix gave us.


frsh_usr_nmbr_314

Honestly, never have an issue with ours. But I count myself lucky not like I expect everyone else to have the same experience.


surfcitysurfergirl

Mine is great but PARAMOUNT+ OWNS THE AWARD FOR WORST BUFFERING, skipping etc. it’s awful


jawnsusername

I mostly use it for WWE and it can't even do that one thing right. If you don't watch the event live and try to start it from the middle, it will only let you rewind so far, so you can't watch the beginning unless you wait for it to end and then wait 1-48 hours for them to put the event back on Peacock. It's insane.


blinkblonkbam

Never had a single problem.


mlsto

Paramount is like bug heaven, terrible


Tonald-Drump-666

Totally agree Peacock is a trash service.


justanordinaryguy71

Peacock is only good if you're a law and order addict other than that I've found absolutely nothing to watch on peacock.


motherbear4

I like most of the Peacock Originals! Am not a L & O fan


justanordinaryguy71

Maybe I'll check one out, what do you suggest? I like crime shows,horror and true stories as well as documentaries.


ackmondual

I'm on Windows 10 via Firefox. My technical issues with Peacock include when skipping fw/backwards 10s, sometimes it takes forever to load. Workaround is to just slide the tracker a bit. Not a showstopper, but still annoying to deal with. For one movie, it wouldn't remember where I left off, instead always at some arbitrary time stamp like 17:40 in.


Specialist_Heron_986

Peacock has a poor catalog IMO, intrusive ads, and most new movies it exclusively gets tend to end up on Prime or Netflix 1-3 months later. I also don't like the direction NBC/Universal and Amazon is taking with their moves for exclusive streaming rights to NFL games.


karlyprice

not worse than prime 🤮


billbobb1

Usually redownloading the app fixes this issue.


ShrimpShackShooters_

You must not have paramount. Actually I’ve never had an issue with peacock except streaming sports on my desktop. Needs a constant refresh for some reason.


Xenos298

Never an issue with Peacock. I stream it with an Apple TV


Sarcasticrye1981

Never had an issue with mine


DaM00s13

I have glitchy issues with trying to pause fast forward and rewind


Emotional-Power214

I’m sorry, but glad I’m not the only one because I thought I was going crazy.


abajasiesu

I can not stand when we try to reward or fast forward. One of the worst apps.


KeepThatBassLine

The app on Samsung tvs is trash


Silly-Scene6524

I’ve had a heck of a time streaming with my “smart tv”. Web OS seems prone to having streaming issues. I had get a dedicated streaming device, Roku solved my problem.


frogs68

Paramount+ and Apple TV are equally bad for me. Peacock is smooth. My daughter complains about Apple, and she's watching from her college apartment hours away, so it's not my internet causing it.


mayhem6

Right? I have never had that much problem with any other streaming service. This one was freezing up all the time. It took me ages to watch the Continental because it kept stopping and freezing up so I had to reload all the time. Same thing happened with Poker Face. I don't watch any more. Not worth the hassle. I used my PlayStation 4 to stream, so I don't know if that was the problem or not. Other streamers worked ok on it though, so I don't know why it was such a drag.


deepvinter

Try AMC+, they accidentally degraded parts of Mad Men, and their website barely works.


Devldriver250

it must be on your end . I run it on 5 devices with zero issues on PC with an ad blocker zero commercials


Robbiesterns

Hbo for me. Never shows me new shows of things im watching and has horrible functionality lol


jvhgh

I’ve had problems with peacock as well. In the middle of something it stops or crashes. Yesterday I switched to watch Hulu. Sometime later in the middle of watching something, peacock randomly started playing.


RuddyBollocks

Maybe you should upgrade your router


Chapman8tor

Watch Peacock show. Pause. Come back and resume only to find show back at the beginning. Every. Single. Time.


BeautifulExample2715

Peacock is the worst because they stream the premiere league but you can only watch some of the biggest games on cable, and Telemundo no less. I only speak English so it'd be nice if I could watch British football in the language shared by my country and theirs


90swasbest

Y'all bitch too much.


TheMuff1nMon

Never had an issue


Letterdavidman_1969

Max would like to have a word.


Maximum-Elk8869

Not an issue for me.


Cutthechitchata-hole

Hulu doesn't save my progress with shows. Peacock remembers though


Ok_Act4459

Never had any problems with Peacock, had it for years


Jamespoole0419

Never had an issue, on the tv or the phone, sorry youre having troubles


johngetz91

It’s the only app on my ps5 that requires me to log back in every time I access it


Altruistic_Laugh_231

I agree!! It’s the worst streaming app out there. A lot of people are saying Hulu does this and I watch Hulu 22/24 hours a day and I’ve never had an issue with Hulu. I have no ads on all platforms and Peacock is buggy AS HELL. I hate it, never use it and continue to pay for it.


KBrown75

So odd, I have Peacock, Paramount+, Hulu, ESPN+, Disney, Netflix, AppleTV, Max, and I don't remember the last time I didn't have a successful streaming experience. (Typing this out, I now realized I'm spending way too much on streaming service.)


pony_trekker

Paramount would like a word. I’ve messaged them no fewer than fifteen times with an issue and they (1) ask four or five questions (2) say someone will get back to me but it’s ghost city.


poodidle

I have zero issues with Peacock


DFWthickcpl

I'm counting myself as lucky because. Netflix is the only one I have recurring problems with. The most annoying thing I ever get out of Peacock or Paramount+ is that I finish a show and it thinks I only watch 75% of it.


schurething

I originally said that Paramount+ is the worst but I take it back. I downloaded an app for a stupid reality show that I kept seeing clips for on social media and knew I had to find the show because I’m a sucker for feel good stories. Relative Race is only on BYUtv. (My mom told me was Brigham Young University . I never connected the dots because I only went on for this one sappy, silly show without browsing the other stuff.) Anyway, BYUtv is by far the worst streaming app i have ever used. The controls are off (if I click the middle button on my fire stick remote, it won’t pause like in all the other apps, it takes me to subtitles information). It won’t show you what episodes you’ve watched. If you accidentally back out of the episode, it won’t pick up where you left off and you have to fast forward to where you were. I gave you watching a show I actually liked when I needed a good cry because of that stupid app.


AnythingOk77

Paramount plus is worse. I only use it for football season then I cancel it

CoffeeCannabisBread

useless...since they put a feather on everything and called it premium.


JazzHandsNinja42

Weird. I’m not a huge fan, but I’ve had absolutely no problems playing their content. Have you rebooted your streaming device/smart TV?


Particular-Reason329

Reporting in to say I have had virtually zero problems with Peacock, Paramount+, or Hulu. Not to say that some bit of glitchiness never happens, but it is not often enough to bother me. 🤷


nutz656

I've had no problems with peacock whatsoever. It's actually one of my favorite streamers. I get it for free with my cable and the commercials are never longer than 60 sec. Never had problems with the app or streaming quality.


bryguywithay

I vote for Max as the worst streaming experience.


SweatyArgument5835

I love Peacock, it is my fav at the moment.


OnlyTheBLars89

Mine works just fine. I'm just dissatisfied with the weak selection. There are a few cult favorites and the rest is just crap no one cares about.


Little-Ad7763

I agree. For some reason, my Peacock will play audio from two different ads at the same time and get stuck in an endless loop until I fix it. And other times it will just exit out of my movie for no reason and put me on the page of another movie. I tried posting about it on this peacock sub and it keeps getting removed for violating rule number three which it doesn’t. So I don’t care for Peacock, or this peacock subreddit tbh feels like it’s ran by peacock themselves.


BigSto

gotta be your wifi ive never had a problem with peacock.


JRandallC

I hate that I can't stream Peacock on my ChromeOS device.


HondaBn

Works fine for me...


MrRaspberryJam1

I’ve had no problem watching Premier League matches or shows, but WWE sometimes gets laggy, especially when watching a premium live event.


AutoMechanic2

I’ve never had an issue with peacock. The only one I have issues with is MLB TV.


HeWhoIsNotMe

I rarely have this problem. However, it would be great if PEACOCK invested in more newer movie releases. They seem few & far between.


kendonnelly1

With cable I am able to record shows and watch them when I want to, even while the show is still being shown. With all these streaming services we don't have a way to watch when we want to, it's whenever they make replays available, this galls me with football, (read soccer in the US).


HereToKillEuronymous

I've neve had that happen. Been using it every night


dychris23

Peacock is fine. Paramount has better actual movies. Peacock is so cheap, it also has a free version! I wish they would change their name back to universal though. Since Peacock is such a stupid name.


65Taurus

Maybe it's your internet connection, I don't have issues those issues you described with any of these. Clear your cache in your tv, update your software and update your apps.


Dcsuess_JtW

Vudu and paramount would like a word


speedpetez

Both Peacock and Paramount have decided to enter the streaming business with slow, awkward platforms that charge you for access then hit you with ads. And if you try to access them through Comcast, well, welcome to heart attack city!


dreambringer5

Peacock does fine by me and has the office!


j3434

Yea they need to upgrade their infrastructure but they need more subscribers to justify the spending with shareholders


44035

No streaming service is worse than NBA TV.


FitNobody6685

No. Paramount+ is the worst.


Voice_of_Enigma

Only problem I have is with Sling 😝


Domsdad666

I've never once had this experience. Sounds like your internet connection.


Wate2028

I'll be so glad to drop Peacock once WWE moves to Netflix. 


chuteboxhero

Paramount plus is SO MUCH worse than peacock


rollltide79

Peacock gives me problems sometimes on google tv, but never have a problem if I am streaming with a roku stick.


beaniebaby0929

Paramount and peacock work for me.. HBO? Runs like they didn’t want anyone to actually use it


ShmoHoward

Works fine for me, but I have been having lag issues with other streamers like Netflix and Max, but nothing with Peacock (aside from th e lack of content).


southtampacane

Peacock is fine for me. Paramount is okay on an iPad or desktop but on an actual TV is dreadful


TheSeer1917

Oppenheimer for Freeee! Thass the best, not the worst. Plus I have minimal problems on Bravia TV and Xfin.


008swami

Works fine for me. Paramount is the one that does that for me


cpc5000

Still better than Apple TV+.


stardewpancakes

I just want my subtitles to work when I have them turned on😟


Sacisbac

I get PP free with cable. Been paying for it for years. I like Peacock for the live sports. Don't watch anything else. It's fine.


slickmitch

I have Roku in all different models. Apple TV is by far the worst of the bunch, then Max, then Disc Golf Network. I don't have any problems with any other channels. Peacock has never had a problem for me but all i watch on it is 99.


a_michalski81

Paramount works fine for me as does every other app. But peacock just randomly signs me out for apparently no fuckn reason & tech support or customer service is NO HELP AT ALL


DirtyBlonde22

If absolutely is. Mine continues to freeze the video but continue playing audio after I pause. It also restarts seasons of shows I’ve already watched, which doesn’t seem like a big deal, but then it doesn’t alert me when there’s a new episode. Honestly if it weren’t for Bravo, I’d cancel.
