I'm one of those people that often forgets to cancel before the Free Trial runs up. I honestly was pretty impressed with Playstation Vue and really liked having NFL Redzone this past Sunday. I may sign up in the future but I was wondering how many people out there forgot to cancel their subscription!
Playstation Vue Subscriptions
- Thread starter wclarson
- Start date
I cut the cord years ago but the PSVue was superior to Hulu. I would even consider cancelling Netflix too as PSVue had a nice lineup of movies and shows on demand! The sports pack is well worth the $10 for College Football lovers.
Not a big fan of the PSVue layout on the AppleTV but i'm sure I would get used to it more if i kept around longer.
Biggest downside to PS Vue is the lack of an xbox/windows app. And they don't support IE/Edge as a browser. I will be dropping my PS Vue subscription tonight (signed up on Saturday). Not worth the extra money compared to my hulu subscription.
Hulu Upside:
1. cheaper to go commercial free for on-demand content
2. much cheaper overall if you already have a hulu subscription (as you almost get the normal subscription for free when adding live tv)
3. have apps for pretty much EVERY device.
4. iOS app is much more repsonsive and faster
Hulu Downside:
1. No "sports add-on" -> has a lot of sports channels though in the base package.
2. Limited DVR -> you only get like 30 hours of DVR with the base plan. And they charge WAY too much for more DVR space
*** technically you can watch PSVue on xbox one through the kodi app with a plugin, but it is still in preview and buffers more than i would like.

Having used both playstation vue and now hulu with the live tv add on, I greatly prefer hulu with the live tv add on. Although had to use a friends dish log in to access long horn network. Will likely cancel the tv add on after the march tournament since college football and iowa state basketball are all I use it for.
From what I have read though psvue has improved quite a bit since I ditched it but I like hulu enough to not switch back.

I agree that it takes a while to get use to the my stuff and live tv sections. Agree that that guide is the area lacking the most and could be improved to show what’s on beyond the current and next tv show.
We've used PS Vue for our TV content for over a year. $55 includes all the sports I need and all the Hallmark/HGTV/DIY etc that the boss requires. The cloud DVR/On Demand feature is pretty easy to use and extensive. There are occasional buffering issues but I blame them on our internet capabilities rather than PS Vue. We tried DirecTV now and went back to PS Vue. You also can't jump to channels, you have to scroll through the guide, which is a bit of a hassle, but worth it for the $100+ we are saving over a dish. Also we live 4 miles from Alleman so we get an insane number of local channels.
I struggled with it during the game. Was able to watch their game day show just fine but once it went to game ESPN didn't like my psvue login. Wish my Samsung tv had a watch ESPN app instead of having to go through the web browser. Maybe I was doing it wrong
Old person question, do I need each tv to be a new enough smart tv to have the apps to run vue or what exactly do I need? We watched the game downstairs where the sons PS was hooked up but have two other TVs in the house.
I have had psvue for over a year and like it overall. However, it does have it's problems.
A major one for sports is if you set an event to record, but it runs over into the next show, the start from beginning function does not work. Thus it forces you to watch lice. This has ruined quite a few game for me.
Also, the support for locals is inconsistent. I have had many recent instances where the channels just stopped working during games with a generic "we are experiencing technical difficulties" error.

We cut the cord and use PSVue base. Went with that over Hulu because of video quality. Contemplated youtubetv, but found the whole gmail account/youtube tie in requirements irritating.
I much prefer Roku but it depends if you are tied in to the Amazon eco system I would imagine.
