Subscription to peacock for $5.99 on roku

If you sign up for a peacock subscription thru roku, are you not allowed to sign in on peacock with those credentials on a fire stick? In other words, is your subscription only good on roku? Would you have to subscribe on firestick too? Thanks

Yes, like most (all?) platform payment systems, it only works on that platform.  Sometimes there are tricks you can play to expand to other platforms, but this depends on the content provider and might "break something".

Banned but back. Because why not?

Re: Subscription to peacock for $5.99 on roku

@Meljo, I know in the past when my sister signed up through Roku she was able to go on the Peacock website and attempt to log in using the email address attached to her Roku account (available on your Roku device under Settings->System->About) and use the "Forgot password" option to establish credentials (username and password) she could use anywhere.  Whether or not this method still works I couldn't say.  She wasn't trying to sign in on a Firestick, but I would think it would work.

Keep in mind that your Roku account password is never shared with any provider, so if you're trying to use that password somewhere else you're doing something wrong.
