We recently dropped WOW! cable just because it had gotten so outrageously expensive. I've been trying to get *reliable* access to streaming video of MSNOW and having very temporary successes, followed by the same old error messages.

Peacock won't carry Rachel Maddow, but only some MSNBC shows -- some available only after delay ?? I had been thinking of trying Peacock but finally decided it was more trash than treasure.
