GribbleGrunger on 29 September 2016

Are you a fan of Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, or Ballers? Starting today, HBO and Cinemax will be available on PlayStation Vue, so you’ll be able to catch up on all the original series and tune in live for the highly anticipated series premiere of Westworld — where western meets science fiction.

Additionally, we’re also excited to share that a new PlayStation Vue plan, Ultra, will be available to users starting today. Ultra includes HBO and Showtime, plus all the 100+ channels from Elite available for $64.99 or $74.99 per month depending on location.

Here are all the plans available on PlayStation Vue starting today. With a compatible TV-connected device and an internet connection, there are no additional fees, such as set-top box fees, or long-term contracts.

Access Core Elite Ultra
55+ channels, including live cable TV, movies and sports channels. 70+ channels, including all the channels from Access with the addition of live national and regional sports networks. 100+ channels, featuring all the channels from Core with the addition of top movie and entertainment channels.

As we previously announced, you’ll also have the option to subscribe to HBO and Cinemax as standalone channels via PlayStation Vue. HBO and Cinemax are available for $15 each per month. We’re pleased to be the first internet-based pay-TV service to offer HBO and Cinemax’s live programming as standalone offerings without a bundle subscription.

If you subscribe to HBO through PlayStation Vue using any of the available options, you’ll get access to the live HBO feed through PlayStation Vue, as well as access to the HBO Now service on all supported devices at no extra charge. The HBO Now app is also launching today on PS4 and PS3.

The funny thing is that PSVue (especially if it goes international) has the potential to be Playstations biggest earner.... imagine that.

Shhh ... the media hasn't noticed that yet. They're still busy being confused about the Pro.

This needs to be on Sony Android TVs. Period.

Can you record programmes and watch them later?

So it's a complete replacement for Tivo and satellite TV?! Sweet.

Yes. You can record all shows and view them upto 28 days after airing. The number of shows is unlimited, with no scheduling conflicts.

I currently have 84 TV Series in my DVR, and well over 1000 episodes.

Also, channels like Showtime and HBO offer their enitre back catalog all the time. So you can go back and watch entire seasons any time. This makes it possible to pay $15 one month a year and catch up on all of their content.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Yes, that's why GAF is going crazy for it. People are saving lots of money every month and getting a better service.

Man, I'm so tempted to get this. Not a fan of Comcast at all. But the area I live in is a test area for Comcast which means I get data caps.
If these cable companies get it their way, they are going to start charging for internet the same as a utility. So the more you use the more they charge. They know people are tired of the crappy deals, so they will still be able to fleece customers even if you only stick with them for internet.
