o/t Peacock TV

Peacock TV has an offer of $39.99 for a whole year's access.
I am not sure how you actually watch it. I guess that you need a
VPN and a smart TV.
Peacock TV offers Premiership rugby games on their platform.
If you live in a supported region, then this is probably a
no-brainer.

This is only relevant for Us I think. Peacock in UK is only via
Sky and not valid for UK use.

A VPN will probably work but Peacock do try to block them,
mostly unsucessfully.
On a related note, knowing that Premiership Rugby is on Peacock
is useful when in bars in the USA as the staff often won't know
themselves but may well have a Peacock sub.

I know that more and more of our home games are selling out and
that they're not always televised, but isn't flying to the US
simply to be able to watch Quins on TV a bit extreme?

Proton VPN works well for Peacock, and probably lots of other
VPN providers do also. You can pay via Google pay subscription
in the UK.

What's wrong with PRTV and the money going back into rugby?

AFAIK PRTV doesn't show all the premiership matches. Peacock
isn't a dodgy streaming site, it's officially licensed from the
prem.

PRTV shows all the games not being aired on BT when they're
live, and all games are free of charge on the Prem website 24
hours after the game.
People think using things like Peacock via VPN isn't impacting
anyone, but it is.
It's priced lower for non-UK markets on the expectation that
it's hoovering up some additional viewers it wouldn't be getting
via BT, not to replace those BT viewers in the UK, so if people
in the UK start using a VPN and paying for Peacock instead of
contracting with BT, ultimately BT will just not bother to
chase a contract renewal because their viewer figures won't
justify the outlay, leaving all the clubs even further down the
financial toilet.
I've worked in software my whole career and have lost plenty of
business to software piracy, which leads me to loathe people who
pirate software, TV and the like, having lost various deals over
the years because of pirated software licences.

Firstly software piracy is significantly different from using an
official broadcaster in another country.
Secondly you're suggesting that rugby fans in the UK should
purchase not just one expensive annual membership to a streaming
site that only shows a 3 games a weekend at their discretion (BT
Sport) but
that they should actually go and purchase another expensive
annual membership to watch the rest? If you want to talk about
growing the game etc then accessibility to rugby is a big part
of that so I would argue the current conditions are creating a
vacuum for other service providers (such a FloRugby, StanSport
and Peacock etc) to fill. If BT Sport chose to stream all of the
games online, which is entirely technically possible - you
should know - then I would pay for their service. But until that
happens I'm happy not to and would urge others to vote with
their wallet too.
Thirdly if you're here to defend some US tech company's Terms of
Service then I don't know what to tell you [emoji23] - that's
for you lot to moralise over
