Does anyone know why mine always defaults to CNN as the Live TV channel when I first open Vue? CNN isn’t even a favorite channel of mine. Is this because CNN pays Sony for this to happen?
I just want to say that I am in love with Playstation Vue lol, I can not live without cable… sony finally provide a F great service =))
I live in VA and I’m still waiting for PSVUE.
I made the switch and cancelled Uverse because vue had fox sports SUN with the miami heat games. Now inexplicably that channel is not there anymore and i cant watch my team play. BAIT AND SWITCH much ?
This is awrsome. I love it. Canceled dish, and haven’t looked back. Needs some work on the dvr, but it will get there.
Wow, these are some BIG moves, and I’m very excited. If History Channel was in there for Los Angeles I would be hitting Subscribe RIGHT NOW!! I might just jump in anyways if you tell me it’s on the way, though. It’s pretty hard to ignore the NEW channels AND price drop…
But seriously, GOTTA have my History Channel. ;)
I have three televisions in my house. How can I use Vue with all three. I have one PS3 unit. Any ideas??
Doing the 1 week trial. Noticing picture quality is not as sharp when streaming compared to cable FIOS. Any way to improve that? I have 50/50 FIOS.
2 things, because this is run through the PS3 or 4 it takes forever to get into the Vue software. Also, when I go and watch a Catch up episode of something, it is the wrong show altogether. My daughter wanted to watch Jessie on Disney, clicked on it and was playing Austin and Ally. Anyone else having this problem?
Any plans on adding The CW network? Thanks
I am enjoying the free trial. I currently use sling and was considering going to cue but there is an issue with the Disney Junior channel. It freezes, shuts off, repeats itself, skips words and says that there is a problem with the channel. It will say low network problems but none of the other channels do that. Is this something you are working on? Other than that I really enjoy it.
I’ve had this for a couple of days here in Denver, the service is AMAZING, Runs smooth on demand is nice, and decent selection, sadly i think i will have to cancel as it has one channel i cannot live without, MLB Network. Does anyone know if there is any plans to get the mlb network? I would love to cancel cable and keep the playstataion service instead
Loving Vue. Have been waiting for the nationwide release for awhile. Finally able to be 100% free of Dish Network. Had Dish, then decided to cut the cord and got Sling until Vue was available. This is much better than Sling. However would lover to see HBO, History, Viceland, MSG and MSG+ so I can watch my Sabres. Keep up the good work.
Does anyone at Sony read these? I am having problems with this service. Anything I play on demand plays 5 minutes of a previous episode that I don’t want to watch. And because I can’t fast forward,I have to wait for my episode to start.
Just need to get Lifetime, History and ABC Family and I’ll be set.
I also wouldn’t mind Hallmark and GSN.
