No app for me, but content has started appearing in the on demand section and on the home page marked as "Peacock".

There won't be an app. It's being added to the on demand services, so it can be available to both Q and Sky+HD customers.

There are a couple of series highlighted but I cannot find a menu/dedicated screen with availability of the hundreds of films, series etc that are supposed to be available. Am I missing something ?

I'd wait until later in the day - Sky are most likely still rolling this out.

According to the news on this website there will be an app-

If you’re a Sky Q customer, just say Peacock into your Sky Q voice remote, and your Sky Q box will take you to our Peacock app page,

The shows are not very well organised, some are on TopPicks, but need a option to show all Peacock shows.

As per the earlier reply - they haven't finished publishing yet, so not all the search and menu options are visible. I'd check back after 3pm and see what it's like then.

Random stuff is slowily appearing, but not the main section yet.
As mentioned above, it is being populated through the day.

Sky have put up a help page for Peacock.
Worth viewing to see how it all works;

Seems like it's arrived in full, looks okay, quite impressed with movie collection, seems like it's a decent addition.

I hope this is going to get better i am not impressed at the moment. Where is Halloween doesn't thrill to go with the other few films available ? at least it is a free service. lol in an £80 + subscription

Not all content will be available as some will have been licensed elsewhere. Some may get added over the coming months as deals expire.

Ok why say streaming, Yet you have to download anything you want to watch....! That is not streaming. Using the Sky Q 2tb Box

The movies I've looked at are pan and scan versions?, Adjustment Bureau and The Frightners with Dolbly Digital 2.0 SUR.

Was excited to see new content... and for free as well.... but alas, of course.... this is sky q, and it's always had problems for me....

Picked my first thing to watch. 

the movie "very bad things"

love that film

had to turn it off after a few minutes as the lip sync was horrific. 

anyone else noticed any bad lip sync with any peacock stuff, or this film in particular?

It feels like Sky used old encodes and just inserted Peacock in front of the existing content. Just went to check out heros and that's still 2 channel with no 5.1 audio and they reused sci-fi channel encodes for Quantum Leap. Its official for me It's well and truely a dead on arival product.

I was looking forward to Peacock but not in this form. Lost all interest now. No chance to get rid of ads. 50i instead of 24p and it seems on some shows a lack of 5.1 audio. Peacock might as well exit the market right now if they are relying on sky and these levels of encodes.. Sorry to say but for me this Launch was just one bad joke.
