I did not realize that!I was under the impression that PS Vue included locals. True or false?
It may not be true everywhere, but it's true where I live - that's a game changer for us! Makes PS Vue a true full alternative to cable or satellite for us, at $40/mo vs $98/mo with Dish Network - saving $700/year. We get everything LIVE including all the major networks on up to 3 devices (TV, iPad, smartphone) except sadly PBS, but we'll stream that free on demand. PS Vue makes Sling TV and DirecTV Now irrelevant for us as they'd both force us to futz with an OTA antenna, and CBS All Access at $6/mo with DTVN.
The PS Vue guide on the mobile app is excellent, the interface isn't quite as intuitive thru streaming devices on TV and PC's - but entirely workable. And to our surprise, our favorite shows are all automatically DVR'd and available for 28 days. But most are available on demand beyond 28 days anyway.
We lose a few channels, but gain others. And the few we care about and lose post on YouTube the next day, so we can stream them.
We've been test driving PS Vue since Thurs, flawless so far, and we have a paltry 10 Mbps internet connection. If all goes well this weekend, we're cancelling Dish Network on Monday.
Cable and satellite are going to have a tougher and tougher time in the years ahead IMO.
Thanks!!!
