Cyber Monday deals aren’t just all about the gadgets — the biggest shopping event of the year also brings discounts on all kinds of subscriptions, such as streaming services — and some are still active today! If you’re not currently subscribed to Peacock, here’s your chance to try it out for a much more affordable rate than usual because Peacock slashed its price by 75% for Cyber Monday. That means you can get one year for just $20 (instead of $80), giving you $60 in savings, or $2 per month instead of $8 for the first six months, for $6 in savings per month. The offer lasts until December 2, but we highly recommend signing up right now because you may forget to do so with everything else that’s going on during the shopping event.
If you’re quitting cable for streaming services, you probably already know all about the more popular choices, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+. However, we think Peacock should be on every family’s list of subscriptions. The best shows on Peacock include Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner as a cattle ranch owner, and comedy-horror-thriller Hysteria! starring Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, and Emjay Anthony; and Based on a True Story — perfect for true crime fans — starring Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina. Meanwhile, the best movies on Peacock include The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Fall Guy, and Last Night in Soho.
Take a look at everything that’s new on Peacock for November, and you’ll see a lot of popular titles, including the Back to the Future trilogy, all Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2, and The Day of the Jackal featuring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. Peacock also recently added one of the summer’s best movies to its catalog — Twisters, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos.
Your purchases from Cyber Monday TV deals will go great with subscriptions to streaming services. Peacock’s 75% discount for the shopping event is pretty eye-catching — you’ll only have to pay $20 instead of $80 for one year for savings of $60, or $2 instead of $8 per month for the first six months, for savings of $6 per month. If you’re a new subscriber, you’ve got until December 2 to take advantage of this offer, but you’re going to want to purchase the membership immediately to make sure that it doesn’t slip your mind.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
