Peacock TV Plan Selection
Peacock has a three-tiered membership model with more features and content as the pricing levels increase.
The costs are reasonable, and the material is well worth the investment.
The three subscription tiers are as follows:
Peacock Free: With a free account, you can access roughly two-thirds of the service. The free tier also does not require a credit card. There is also coverage of some sporting events, such as a few Olympic competitions.
Peacock Premium: This $5 tier provides all of the perks of the Free tier, as well as access to all material on the site, including live sports, but practically all programming includes ads, just like traditional television. You would also receive an additional free week of Premium.
Peacock Premium Plus: This is the $10 tier, which includes everything from the previous two. The material is also mainly commercial-free, and you can watch some titles on your phone or tablet while offline.
Select the tier that best meets your demands; if you’re not pleased, you can always upgrade or decrease.
If you already have a subscription to Peacock on another platform, such as your phone or computer, you can use that same account on your Roku.
You can use the same account on as many devices as you like, but you can only stream on three of them at once, including your Roku.

What I Don’t Like About Peacock TV
The only disadvantage of Peacock at the moment is the absence of 4K material, despite the fact that Roku is perfectly capable of playing 4K movies.
Unfortunately, it is up to Peacock and NBC to provide more 4K material to the platform, and for the time being, just a few select titles such as Shrek, Uncut Gems, and several Fast and Furious movies are available in 4K.
This implies that none of NBC’s original programming is in 4K, in contrast to competitors Netflix and Prime Video, which have a significant amount of original programming in 4K.
Peacock on Roku, on the other hand, is the best experience you can have with the software because you’re not constrained to a smaller laptop or phone screen.
