Actually, ABC, NBC, and Fox are available nation wide, on Vue. They are only offering DVR/On Demand for those three channels at the moment. CBS is also available in select markets, with intent to reach more areas over the coming weeks. I definilty think it is worth giving the 7 day trial a spin, if it may save you money, and declutter your house. I mean it can't hurt anything.

the problem is even though Cable/DirecTv are rip offs (for what it costs them compared to what they charge), those service packages generally allow like hundred of channels/networks to be viewed at any time, whole series 'On Demand' and with recording abilities.

Playstation Vue might be a nice option but I doubt it can compete with the amount of material some of the more expensive traditional services allow. Its hard to abandon Cable or Satellite TV if you're the type of person who digs watching live sports and live TV shows with company or whatever :/

I would actually argue that Vue offers more On Demand/DVR content due to the fact that it is cloud based and unlimited. You have a point though with the live sports. In the Seven markets that currently have live local channels, it is pretty much a draw, but for the rest of the nation, not having CBS, and Fox is huge due to the shear amount of sporting events they carry. 

It will definitly take some work on Sony's part to get these local channels available everywhere, and it is going to take a good number of people ditching the Cable and Satellite to give them any bargaining power. Hopefully people will look and decide that saving $50 - 100  a month or $600 - $1200 a year is worth missing a couple of events and programs, in the interest of progressing the television industry, and helping themself and others by supporting a more consumer oreinted business model.
