NU @ Michigan State (10/17): 11:00 AM CT, Peacock/NBCSN
- Thread starter Styre
- Start date
I’ve subscribed to Peacock and other services to watch games/events but frustrating having to bop around.
I assune Fitz is fixated on this game and will have the Spartans ready. Ball State first, then the Spartans. We need to win the next 3 games before we hit the heart of the schedule and to stay healthy.

There's really no way to spin the proliferation of livestream only games as good for fans. It's a trend that has given us Kansas City Chiefs playoff football on Netflix, #1-seeded Detroit Pistons Game 7 on Amazon Prime, and the entire city of Chicago unable to watch their baseball teams in the wild card round without subscribing to the 'cock.
But on the other hand, money, so... get used to it.
(Not to digress too far here, but one of the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" things I like about the Save College Sports Act is the requirement for free local options for home markets when games are otherwise streaming only.)

People said all of this about putting games on cable TV back in the day. What do you mean I have to pay for ESPN to see a playoff game! And now we're used to it and we think of games on cable/satellite as the "free" games. Streaming-only isn't great, but it'll become the new normal before long.
Yeah, resistance is futile against the streaming pirates and they're just getting started.
I really don't want to pay these mofos so normally I force myself to visit my sports bar of choice, but since it's starting at 9 AM, I can't even do that this time. Dilemma City!

That last part doesnt help the fans living outside Chicagoland. Idc for home games, I will be there, but away games? Sucks
Anyway I spend a lot more at a sports bar than the streaming cost, and I dont want to sit there 4 hours. I've done it, but prefer not
You may be patronizing second rate sports bars which cause serious under-consumption. In addition, you apparently have been without a spiritual guide.
Styre, I get NBCSN on my Spectrum plan, so I assume that means I can get it, correct? (By the way, our regular tailgate fell through for the homecoming game. I found another one in the Isabella lot, but I can't tell you how to find it yet, but maybe you can call me on game day and I can give you directions. 1 814 881-0941. Well be there no later than 8:00 am.)
AI says its exclusively streaming on Peacock and so I won't be able to see it on NBCSN on Youtube TV.
Turns out it doesn't matter as I will be in West Point that day to see FAU play Army. That should be cool! As I've told some on there, my son does all the creative content (video, photo, social media) for the FAU football program, so we are going down to see him (and his team!).
Fitz may be fixated but his team and his coaches are horses***. NU will roll over MSU
I don't think Spectrum carries NBCSN. As far as I know the only cable provider that carries it is Xfinity.
And sure, I'll reach out on Saturday. Thanks!
The cost of a Peacock subscription is a lot less than a game ticket to the NRF , plus you will have access to some basketball games and other events
My Spectrum guide says I get NBCSN so I'll test it today. Flying to Chicago tomorrow and hope to see you on Saturday in the Isabella lot.
WHat is frustrating is that you get what is supposed to be an al inclusive sports package and some how they get around it and for a game you suddenly have to find some other method of seeing it
I tried to check for Direct and google searche They have NBCS on 619 but not sure that is same Supposedly NBCSN is on 220 but I do not have that But do have NBCSNHD on 221 and supposedly that is the same
Those are the old DirecTV channels for NBCSN before it went off the air. They haven't carried the network since it came back last year.
I did go to the channel lineup and 221 is shown as CBSSNHD. but not NBCSN HD 619 is listed as NBCS But cannot see schedule for that far out. So much for ai search
Two options.
1. Watch it on FUBO if you have FUBO.
2. If you don't have FUBO get a 24 hour trial subscription. It is only good for 24 hours and you forget to cancel then they automatically charge a month. Even if you miss by a minute they charge for the whole 31 days (not 2 days). I do not know how to cancel but they say you can do it. I am sure there are instructions somewhere.

For those who can’t get it through other sources, a monthly Peacock subscription is $12.99
just make sure to cancel it before the month is out (you still get the full month).

"Record," no, but they'll keep the game archived for a bit so you can watch it on demand.
At one point I had a ton of subscriptions to online newspapers and streaming services, but with inflation hitting me, I've been cutting back. I got Peacock Premium still, though I meant to cancel it too. I recently missed the email notification of renewal and didn't realize it till a $140 charge hit my bank account for the annual fee and taxes. So, I'll be tuning in to the game NU-MSU game Saturday. I'm actually popular in the Fall, as I've also got Amazon Prime.
There are also places where you can watch highlights like on YouTube or the BigTen Network (BTN) has replays on their site.
I had Peacock for a while a couple years ago because I wanted to see BB games and the gave me a year for about $20, Don't remember being able to record but you were able to rewatch the game, for a while at least.
Just cancel it immediately after you sign up. It just means you get it through the end of the period you already paid for. It does not mean you get cut off imediately. That way you avoid forgetting to cancel it and being chargerd for another month.
It seems like conferences are cutting their own throats when some of their games are only available on streaming services like Peacock which would limit the number of fans able & willing to pay extra to stream the game. Does the streaming income balance the loss of fans viewing the game? It appears streaming/ pay per view might be the future for viewing sports but at the risk of losing the engagement of a school’s fanbase.
