Emporium Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I just installed the latest version 4.10.23, and installation works without an issue. However, peacock has decided to limit the app to a very small number of "compatible" boxes. So when it starts it just give the dumb message that "Sorry, Peacock is unavailable on this device. Please see we-are-idiots.com for supported devices". The issue is peacock's narrow minded corporate thinking. Unlike netflix which will work, with some restrictions, if not on an "approved" box, this app just doesn't work at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is the same message I get "Sorry, Peacock is unavailable on this device" I was hoping someone may have a work around for this but I guess not yet.

Emporium Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) OK.. So you can download and give this version a try: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/peacock-tv-llc/peacock-tv-android-tv/peacock-tv-android-tv-1-11-6-release/peacock-tv-stream-tv-movies-android-tv-1-11-6-android-apk-download/ I installed it on my U5, and unlike the version in Aptoide, this one installs, starts and you can go to login screen and even read all the "privacy and terms of use" links, and even try to connect using phone login. There is also this version which is designed for FireTV. Seems to be the same simlar to the version above, but posting both just in case. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/peacock-tv-llc/peacock-tv-fire-tv-android-tv/peacock-tv-fire-tv-android-tv-1-11-6-release/peacock-tv-fire-tv-android-tv-1-11-6-android-apk-download/ I don't have a peacock account (and don't care for one) so I can't confirm that it logs in however. But you can click on the Sign In option and go to the sign in screen. The "choose a plan" option does not work (could b because of my VPN location) so just ensure to use a PC or other device to create a plan if you don't have one. And obviously, make sure you use a US VPN server. Post back the results. Edited November 9, 2023 by Emporium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are for FireTV and for AndroidTV version. These versions definitely get past the usual internal check for compatibility however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
