A great live TV alternative
Cord cutters rejoice. The service looks great on the big screen using an Apple TV. Subscribers can access a huge roster of popular live channels including CNN, ESPN, Fox News, FX, FXX, SyFy, TBS, TLC, TNT, and others. With the My Shows feature, subscribers can take advantage of a cloud-based DVR. Simply tag a show and it will be available to watch instantly at any time.
Welcome home. After starting up the app, the handy home screen features what your currently watching, recently watched shows, live TV, your saved shows, and featured content. As a nice touch, each family member can create their own profile for a more personalized viewing experience.
A traditional guide. For those viewers who enjoy a more traditional TV browsing experience, there is a detailed guide that shows upcoming and previous shows from all of your available channels. It's easy to navigate using the touchpad on the Siri Remote.
A cloud DVR. Instead of a traditional DVR, PlayStation Vue takes a different approach. You can save any program to your My Shows section. Once added, it will save any episodes of the program for 28 days.
What is it about?
Monthly subscriptions start at $29.99 or $39.99 in cities with major live local broadcast stations – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, and Miami. The top-of-the-line package featuring all 90 channels plus premium content from HBO and Showtime is $74.99 per month. Football fans can also add NFL RedZone for extra. You can sign-up for a free, seven-day trial to start.
For those who...
- Ready once and for all to cut the cord.
- Looking for a full-featured service that offers DVR capability.
- Want to select from a number of plans at different price points.
Not for those who...
- Aren't ready to cut the cord and say goodbye to the cable company.
- Don't want a limited number of channels.
Why we love it
For anyone with an Apple TV, PlayStation Cue should be on the top of your list if you're looking for a streaming service with TV content. The app is well designed and easy to navigate. Add in the cloud DVR feature, and its a true replacement for the cable company - especially if local channels are available in your area. The ability to access content on any iOS device is another major plus.
