  • QUOTE: … the cable TV alternatives we’ll look at is PlayStation Vue. First, let’s get one thing out of the way — despite its name, you do not need a PlayStation to use this service. It’s available on most devices. Like the other live streaming services, Vue offers a collection of popular pay TV channels in a no-contract streaming subscription. So, what makes Vue different from its peers? What I like about PlayStation Vue is it offers a little something for everyone, which makes it ideal for families. Sports fans can get channels like ESPN and MLB Network; news junkies can watch CNN and FOX News; the kids can enjoy Disney Channel; and it also has the most widest availability of local TV channels (CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC in select markets) of its competitors.

Some other reasons Vue is great for families include:

   Stream on up to 5 devices at once (some restrictions apply)
   An impressive cloud DVR with great features to eliminate recording conflicts
   Personalized viewer profiles for personal DVR and customized viewing recommendations

• Cost: $30/month & up
• Free Trial Offer: 5-day free trial
• Ideal for: Families with multiple viewers
