I just got an email that PS Vue is no longer going to be available at the end of January. I am bummed because I really liked it. What is everyone's favorite streaming thing out there. I had some issues with Hulu Live due to my IP address showing in a town I wasn't in for some reason and this would not allow me to get the ESPN channels. Sling didn't offer me enough of the channels I like. I am thinking Youtube TV would be the best but wanted to get everyone else's opinion.

Was thinking about getting it soon because I have a PS4 so I wouldn't need an extra device or smart tv. However, it is $5 more for the same channels as Hulu and YoutubeTV, and doesn't include my local CBS station.

Damn! I haven't gotten the email yet. But it is the one streaming service that NFL RedZone that I know of. Oh well, at least I will get through this season.

I wonder if someone might still take it over. There sports content was really good. When football season started it was between them and Hulu. Hulu is pretty good but no better than PS Vue just a little bit cheaper.

Bummer. Vue was great for cyclone sports (all the ESPN’s, fs1, etc)

Curious to figure out what the best alternative is

Well that sucks. I’ve tried a couple others but like Vue the best. It has by far the best mix of channels for what we watch. I hated the interface with Hulu.

I guess it’s time to try YoutubeTV.

Have had YoutubeTv for about 18 months now & zero issues to report so far. Did the free trials of Sling, Hulu & PS Vue didn't really care for them. Use a Roku stick for one tv & Xbox for other one.

I was a long time subscriber, but moved to YouTubeTV a couple months ago. Got tired of the price hikes, even though it was the same price as YTTV.

I've been happy with YTTV, especially since they released the app for fire TV. Biggest difference is the length of time your DVR stores shows. With PSVue, I often wouldn't have time to watch shows before they were gone.

What’s the free trial length for YouTube TV? A length isn’t advertised anywhere on their website.
