AT&T TV, which rebranded to DIRECTV Stream, is one of the most famous live TV streaming services that helps users watch live channels and on-demand content. Here’s what you need to know about streaming live channels such as ESPN, TNT, CNN, and others with DIRECTV Stream.
Some people wonder whether DirectV Stream carries Peacock, an NBCUniversal streaming service. Here is the information you should know.
What is Peacock?
The platform is called Peacock and it is NBCUniversal’s streaming service that provides you with current NBC programs, past NBC series, NBC Sports, news, movies, kids’ programs, etc. Some standout shows and movies on Peacock include:
- The Office
- Sunday Night Football
- Yellowstone
- Jurassic Park
- Meet the Press
- NBC Nightly News
- Parks and Recreation
Peacock offers two plans: Peacock Free, which includes ads, and Peacock Premium for $4. 99/month with limited ads and ad-free Peacock Premium Plus at $9. 99/month. The basic plan costs nothing and allows you access to approximately two-thirds of Peacock’s content. Premium allows accessing all the content.
Is Peacock Included with DIRECTV Stream?
Sadly, Peacock is **not** included with the DIRECTV Stream subscription right now. Among other streaming services, DirectV Stream has applications for Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max; Peacock is not included.
Although you will be able to see plenty of live TV channels and on-demand services when registering for DIRECTV Stream, Peacock exclusives are not visible.
While some episodes can be accessed via the on-demand library of the DIRECTV Stream, you can view NBC live with some [DIRECTV Stream packages](https://www. directv. com/stream/channel-lineup/) if you wish to stream NBC shows. But if you're seeking for historic or modern NBC series, you won't be able to view them in full without a Peacock subscription.
## When Will Peacock Come to DIRECTV Stream?
Currently, there is no information available regarding the new and uncertain support of Peacock on the DIRECTV Stream. Perhaps, DIRECTV Stream may negotiate an agreement whereby it will offer Peacock as part of the platform in the future.
DIRECTV Stream has further added new streaming service apps over time and recently included Discovery+. Thus, there is hope that Peacock could be eventually available on the platform.
For now, the way to get Peacock is to go to its official site PeacockTV. Com or on devices such as Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and others.
How to Watch Peacock if You Have DIRECTV Stream
If you already have a DIRECTV Stream subscription and want access to Peacock, here are your options:
Option 1: Subscribe to Peacock and watch the episode
The easiest way is to go to the website PeacockTV. Com or download the app on any of the compatible devices and then subscribe to the Peacock Premium or Peacock Premium Plus. And here is where you can watch all NBC Peacock shows, movies, sports, news, and much more.
With this option, you would have separate apps for DIRECTV Stream and Peacock.
Option 2: Swapping to a better TV package to tune in live NBC
However, some of the DIRECTV Stream packages such as the Choice package have live NBC among the channels offered. With one of these packages, you can watch NBC shows as they are live aired on DIRECTV Stream.
However, this limited option does not allow you to view Peacock’s full streaming library of current and classic NBC content.
Option 3: Cancel DIRECTV Stream for another service
If acquiring Peacock is a concern, then, you might consider canceling your service with DIRECTV Stream and opting for a streaming service provider that supports Peacock Premium like Cox Contour Stream Player. Just note that you would be deprived of the channels and features that are available with DIRECTV Stream.
The Bottom Line
DIRECTV Stream has a vast collection of on-demand programs and movies for its users, but it does not provide access to Peacock Premium at this time.
Currently, the only way to gain full access to Peacock and its NBC shows, movies, sports, news, and more is to sign up for Peacock directly at $4. 99 or more per month. Or switch to a provider like Cox that offers Peacock Premium as part of their package.
We only hope that Peacock is added to the supported streaming services in the future for DIRECTV Stream. However, for the time being, NBC fans will have to turn to other streaming services or subscribe to Peacock if they want to watch series like The Office without ads.
