Peacock recommends at least 2.5 Mbps for basic streaming and higher speeds for HD (8 Mbps or more) and 4K content (25 Mbps or more). A stable connection is important.
18. Can I watch Peacock TV on my Samsung TV if I am in India?
Peacock is primarily a US-based streaming service. Its availability and content library are generally restricted to the United States and certain U.S. territories. Accessing it directly in India on your Samsung TV might not be officially supported or possible without using additional services like a VPN, which may violate Peacock's terms of service.
19. What if the Peacock app on my Samsung TV is not working?
First, check your internet connection. Ensure your Samsung TV's software and the Peacock app are up to date. You can also try restarting your TV and your internet modem/router. If problems persist, check if your TV model is still supported.
20. Does changing my Samsung TV's region settings help access Peacock?
Changing your TV's region settings can be complex and might affect other services. While it might allow you to download the app if you are outside the US, Peacock's service itself checks your internet location (IP address) for content access. This means the service may still not function as intended without further measures, which could breach terms of service.
