The Peacock App allows subscribers access to hundreds of popular movies, TV shows, and NBC hits while also giving you the ability to view live news and late night shows. If you have a Samsung TV and are thinking about subscribing to this app, can you put it on your TV?
If you can’t find the Peacock app on your Samsung TV, it could be due to several reasons. The app may not be compatible with your Samsung TV model, as it is only compatible with models released in 2017 and beyond.
Other reasons the app may not be installed on your Samsung TV, so you can try downloading it from the Samsung app store. Your firmware may not be updated, so you can try updating it through the settings menu. The Peacock app may also be geo-restricted and not available in your country or region.
To check and see what year your TV model is, there are two ways to go about this, depending on the age of your TV. First, if you have an older TV model, you will find the model code and serial number on the back of the TV, which you can then use to reveal the year produced. For newer models, go to ‘Menu’ from your TV > ‘Support’ > ‘Contact Samsung’ to find out when your TV was produced.
Why Can’t I Download Peacock On My Samsung TV?
If you have found the streaming service that you have always wanted, that being Peacock, and you own a Samsung TV, you may have no reason to believe that there should be any issue downloading this app. However, some users have found that when they are in the midst of finding and downloading the Peacock app, they are met with a complication: that being that the app will not download. What is the cause of this issue?
If you cannot download the Peacock app to your Samsung TV, it is likely that you have a TV model that is older than 2017. Only Samsung TV models that are 2017 or newer are able to download the Peacock app to their app without using a second party streaming device.
However, if you know or find that your TV is older than 2017 and still want Peacock as an available app on your TV, there are ways that you can stream the app through other devices. Through the simple purchase of a device like an Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku device, you can connect them to your Samsung TV, download the Peacock app to them, and still have all of its features on your TV through the help of a small workaround.
How to Put Peacock On My Samsung TV
Once you realize all of the content that Peacock has available to subscribers, it may be hard for you to go off to another competing content streamer for all of your TV, news, and movie needs. Luckily for you, even if you have a Samsung TV, you don’t have to get rid of Peacock, as there are ways you can put this app right on your TV through the use of another streaming device and if you have a newer Samsung TV, the process couldn’t be any simpler.
To put Peacock on a Samsung TV that is a 2017 model or newer, create your Peacock account online and then, from the Home screen of your TV, navigate to ‘Apps’ > ‘Search’ > search for ‘Peacock’ > then click ‘Install’ which should install and then download the application.
If you have an older Samsung TV, you will need to download the Peacock app through the use of a secondary media player such as an Amazon Fire Stick or a Roku device. Within these devices, simply search for the “Peacock’ app to download within their media and allow the installation and download process to take place. Once it has completed, you should be able to access Peacock from your Samsung TV through these types of devices.

Samsung TV Peacock Not Working
If you have made it through the endless comparisons, finding the content that is most important to you, landed on the perfect provider, and finally downloaded the Peacock app to your Samsung TV, it is likely that you have sat back and are ready to enjoy yourself. However, if you have, at last, put this process behind you and go to open the app for use, what do you do when you notice it is not working?
If Peacock on your Samsung TV is not working, try cold booting your TV to see if this resolves the issue. To do this, press down and hold the power button on the remote control of your Samsung TV until the TV has turned completely off and back on again on its own.
If this does not cause the Peacock app to start working as it should, check to see if your TV is in need of any updates. To do this, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Support’ > ‘Software Update’ and then select ‘Update Now.’ If there is an update available, it will automatically begin to install and your TV will reboot.
Samsung TV Not Showing Up/Available/Found On Peacock
Once you have downloaded and installed Peacock either to your TV or on another media device, you should be able to easily navigate to the app and use it without a problem. This can be done either by navigating the apps through your TV, or going through the interface that other media devices provide. However, some Samsung TV owners have noticed that even after downloading, Peacock does not show up, is not available, or can’t be found.
If Peacock on your Samsung TV is not showing up, is not available, or cannot be found, you may need to manually search for the app to access it. To do this, hit the ‘Search’ button on your remote and search for the ‘Peacock’ app and select it once you have found it.
If you search for the app and notice that it is not showing as a downloaded application, you will then need to select the app and download it once again. Be sure to follow the process for downloading and installing and allow the app to completely install before moving on to use any other apps or turn off your TV. If you have trouble installing the application, be sure that your internet connection is fast enough to support the download.
