The PlayStation Vue Thread

[Zookster]

At least for the Core plan, it seems there's been no net loss in the number of TV channels in the package. In fact, since the Viacom dump, I much prefer that channels being added (MLB Network, CBS Sports Network, BBC America, Hallmark Channel, Tennis Channel [coming soon]) to the ones lost, some of which I've never heard of or would ever watch. I also now have all my local networks as of September of this year, though I know not everyone has them yet. On balance, PS Vue's channel offering has gotten MUCH better for me personally since I signed up in June 2016.

Seems like you will never be pleased

Not so. Just a little concerned that it could get to the point that it will no longer be a viable option for me. I AM very happy with Vue at this time. Your remark was not necessary spencer.

Thank you for your continued support.

Not so "slim" anymore...

YouTube hit Omaha yesterday with live locals, all 4 of them.

 

[Mike_H]

playstation vue has rolled out a bunch of locals including KARE 11 NBC affiliate in Minneapolis/St. Paul. That has them now covering the big 3 in this DMA.

 

[fayrich]

Cleveland finally got their NBC station yesterday. Have all 4 of the major nets now.

Having said the above--get some, lose some. We have apparently lost our Fox local due to inability to reach a new agreement. Fortunately for me, we have a good OTA set-up with a dvr to record what we want.

It looks like all the Tribune-owned Fox affiliates are being pulled from PS Vue around the country. I lost it here in San Diego, and folks in PS Vue groups are reporting the same in other major cities. Given Sinclair is in the process of buying Tribune, and is having to meet certain FCC and DOJ requirements to complete the purchase (e.g., selling certain stations), this may have something to do with that. Since PS Vue has deals with other Sinclair-owned local affiliates, this could very well be temporary -- pending finalization of the sale.

It would appear Sony signed deals with these Tribune-owned Fox affiliates a few months ago fully aware of the pending sale and knowing that making these Fox stations available in their respective markets was just temporary as they tried to justify ending the Slim-priced packages.

 

[DetFan]

Well I guess I’ll wait before I jump back on Vue. Never ends.

 

[primestar31]

Sinclair already OWNS two stations in my DMA, and has control of a 3rd through a shell company. Once they complete the Tribune deal, they'll then own yet another station in the DMA right next door...

Anyone know if this affects the Detroit DMA? Was thinking about coming back.

They have the big 4 and I liked it that way.

 

[JerryVolunteer]

Is there a master list anywhere? The Playstation vue site is pretty useless to find real information

No (I live in Metro Detroit), WXYZ (7) is owned by E. W. Scripps Company, WDIV (4) is owned by Graham Media Group, Fox and CBS are owned by the Networks.

 

[DetFan]

That’s good news

 

[JerryVolunteer]

Happy New Year Everyone!

Its been quiet in here. Has anyone heard any vue news? I wish they would update the Apple TV app similar to Roku

 

[DetFan]

I do like the Roku app. One thing bothers me. Coming from the firetv. Recordings and forwarding on the firetv was hold down the button and go through 3 minutes of commercials in a a 2 second span. Can’t seem to do that on the Roku.

 

[JerryVolunteer]

Yeah i like the new guide on Roku. It makes more sense then the one on Apple TV

You could on Roku before the big update. I'll only be using my PS4 now for PlayStation Vue as I at least can see the image of the program zoom by as it fast forwards.

Starting to think that’s the best way.
