Reply to comment by LiveFromNewYork95 in NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scores Its Most Viewers in 5 Years With Streams on Peacock (27.7M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136

I still have a theory that some of this is Disney+ not being able to handle a ton of viewers at once. When I watched the Ashoka episode of Mando it was at the premier time and the buffering was awful. The same thing with the Bad Batch premier.

I think that's been proven time and time again with these streaming services, HBO (back in the HBOGo days) had tons of problems when people tried to stream live premieres of Game of Thrones (especially big episodes), Amazon Prime was in no way ready to handle Thursday Night Football this year, Peacock has been terrible with live streaming WWE PPV's.

I expected it for Mando but I had no idea even The Bad Batch would have that problem. If even a show like The Bad Batch does this, can you imagine the buffering problems The Mandalorian would have if it premiered at, like, 10pm on a Sunday or Wednesday?
