Now it's time to figure out how to watch Peacock TV, and unless you're a Comcast Xfinity subscriber who has been watching Peacock since April, the steps in this process are all pretty straightforward.

Peacock hit the U.S. big time today (July 15) and offers some amazing features for a premium streaming service. There is also a free tier (Peacock Free), which offers a different variety than what Netflix offers, including classic TV, movies, daily news content, and sports.

In fact, Peacock feels that it has the potential to be the best streaming service for those struggling to cut the cord. It has everything some people need (clips from "Today," reruns of "The Office," "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," the movie "The Matrix," etc.), and it's all free if the ads are OK.

Now that Peacock has launched, you can sign up for a Peacock Free account at peacocktv.com or get either a monthly or annual Peacock Premium plan.

Peacock Premium is $4.99 per month and Peacock Premium Plus is $9.99 per month. Yes, as Peacock's sign-up page states, "A small amount of programming includes advertising," and its programming is described as "Peacock channels, events, some shows and movies."

However, if you are prepared to watch Peacock for a year, there is a one-year contract that will save you two months' worth of fees. Yes, the Peacock Premium package for $50 per year and the Peacock Premium Plus package for $100.

Now you are ready to download Peacock TV from the Google Play Store for Android or the Apple App Store for Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone. To install Peacock on your smart TV or console, search for "Peacock TV" in its app store to find and download the app.
