I vaguely remember something about pay-per-view movies the last time I stayed on site, but how extensive is the selection and do they have Peacock on the hotel TVs?

Why would you order anything on a hotel tv to begin with? Just buy it on Prime Video and take a streaming stick with you.

Many streaming services, like Peacock, are not available outside of the USA. You need to VPN to view a lot of it. Even certain platforms, like Netflix and Prime Prime/Video, do not have the same selection in other countries (thanks to Star, Disney+ may be the only one better outside the States)

On vacation I may have more time to view certain shows or movies that I would otherwise not watch. If Peacock is on the in-room TV, for example, than I could watch the one or two things I'm most interested in without having to subscribe and cancel.

If the price isn't outrageous, than PPV content is easier than bringing extra devices or extensions.

I only asked because the information is not available elsewhere online and I was curious. 🤷‍♂️

No need to explain, your reasons are your own

I’ve also brought a streaming box that works fine. You can also plug a flash/external hard drive with content into the tv and use its software to view any content you being along.

if you have any of those apps on your phone you may be able to connect the phone to one of the ports on the TV. My kids brought their switch and hooked it to the tv

Does anyone have time to stream a movie at Universal?

I find myself in a constant state of eating, drinking, being at the parks, floating aimlessly for hours down the fearless river, or being completely wiped out ready for the next day. Not sure how anyone's squeezing in the time, even for the dark channels 🤣
