Peacock entered an already satiated market segment last year, but it gained tons of subscribers pretty fast. It's a great addition to the on-demand and live TV platforms on your device, so below we'll guide you through how to get Peacock on Toshiba Smart TV.

NBCU's Peacock has thousands of hours of content that includes classic NBC shows, Peacock originals, sports, news, and more - and soon, we'll also see movies from Universal, DreamWorks, Illumination, and Focus Films studios arriving four months after their cinematic debut.

It offers an ad-supported Free tier and a Premium plan for $4.99 per month. The latter can be upgraded to Premium Plus for another $5/month to remove the ads altogether. There are also annual plans that you can select for a better price. You can access the limited-commercials Premium tier for no extra cost if you are an Xfinity or Cox customer.

First, you need to subscribe to Peacock on their website. Create a free account by entering a user email and creating a password, then select the desired plan.

How to Watch Peacock on Toshiba Smart TV

Peacock is supported on a wide variety of Android TV-enabled Smart TVs, such as Toshiba. Let's see how to get Peacock on Toshiba Android TVs:

First, go to the Home screen of the Toshiba Smart TV and access the Apps section under Explore Apps section.
Select the Get More Apps option to launch the Play Store.
There, search for Peacock, or scroll until you find the app.
Then, install it by selecting "Install" and wait until the download is finished.
Open Peacock from your Home menu and log in to your Peacock account using your Peacock credentials (you won't need to log in the next time you open the app).

Keep in mind that Peacock is a geo-blocked service, so you can only access its content within the US, but there are ways to access it when you travel.

Smartphones & Tablets: Android, iOS.
Media Streaming Devices: Roku, TiVo, Android TV, Apple TV.
