Screw DirecTV.  I can go into details about it, but that's for later.

I'm looking into PlayStation Vue for my TV services, and I would like to know your expereince with it.  What I've looked into so far and how this will apply to me is that:

- I'm opting for the $35 package.

- My cable internet speed is around 25 Mbps.

- I'll be viewing TV primarily to my 60" and 55" televsions, both 1080p.

- I'll be purchasing at least one Amazon Fire Stick for the 60" television while a console will run Vue to the 55"

- DVR service a must.

Those are some of the logistics so far.  Any comments and advice would be most appreciated.

Peace. 

Do not use the fire stick for PlayStation Vue.  If you are going with Amazon you have to use the FireTV.  Th FIreStick tends to lag and have some other issues(crashes, video quality issues, etc).

Over all though I have been using PlayStation Vue for 4 months now on two TV(mainly using Fire TV on both) and it has been great!  We had a couple of hicups early on, but they seem to have worked them all out.  The quality had been very good with a few exceptions.  Fast moving scenes can 'break up' a little bit some times and occasionally we get issues with picture quality, but that is pretty rare now.

The DVR can be a bit of a pain at times as there is no way to 'record' just the new episodes, it pretty much records every episode.  It only keeps the shows for 28 days, so if you like to horde and binge that could be a problem.  Though a lot of the channels are getting On Demand now, which pretty much fixes that issue.  

Over all we have really enjoyed it with very little problems.  

FYI: I run at 100Mbps.

Thank you, Mr. FirstResponder.

I do have a "spare" PS3 with works fine with the exception of the disc drive.  This could serve as PlayStation Vue... station on my 60" while I game with my fully fuctional PS3 on the 55".  I do know that we cannot simutaneously stream on 2 PS3s at the same time which gives me more incentive for the PS4 Pro when it comes out to also stream Vue.  I'd really hate to fork out $99 for the Amazon Fire with the stick being more affordable at $40.

Hoarding shows with the 28 day cloud service Vue DVR is a non-issue with my wife and I.  With the kid is another issue, but I am Dad, and there is always Netflix to fall back on to a certain degree.

Also, there is no BBC American on Vue, correct?  No Doctor Who then?

I've had it for some time and like it a lot. 

The UI is much faster than the slow Verizon fios UI.  The DVR is great. 

I like being able to search by genre to see what is not only playing but will play so I can DVR things of interest easier. 

My wife loves the iPad app and uses it daily. It's also much better than the fios app.  

My family loves having their own profiles and their own favorites.  

Try the free trial out. 

The only con for me is not being able to play simultaneously on two ps4's.  You can do this on ps4/PS3 or iPad. Not two ps4's which is weird. 

No problem, glad I can help!  The fire stick will work..it just will have its issues, so you will just have to adjust to those if you go that route.  But it works pretty well on the PS3, there are some slow downs from time to time, but nothing bad.  The PS4 interface works really well.

You can also use the apps for TV channels with your PS Vue login, so if they have an app of a channel your kids like you can use those to watch back logs.  And I think most of the kids networks do the on demand with PS Vue, so that can help as well.

Yeah, saddly, no BBC America yes.  I'm looking at buying the season myself once it comes out.  I figure I'm going to wait as long as I can because I figure I will buy the season and then PS Vue will get BBCA!

My speed is around 30mbps, and there is only occasional lag. Generally it's as smooth as normal cable. Of course, it's going to use up some bandwith for other stuff.

The service is pretty decent. The DVR is easy to use, as long as you don't intend on keeping anything for over a month. The menu is easy to navigate.

As long as you're ok with the selection of channels, it's a good service.

I tried it but internet TV still falls far short of traditional broadcast TV. That's just due to the nature of relying on streaming as a delivery service.

I pay about $50.00 a month for cable/DVR/streaming app, which is contract free, and get more channels than I would with Vue.

The top package for Vue is 64.99 for 100 channels. Charter offers 200 channels and DVR, contract free for $29.99 a month. 

I do have a question about the DVR service. Yes, I know it saves programming for 28 days. Let's say I have Sofia the First (Disney Kids show) on my DVR List. Shows are going to rotate out after 28 days, but any reruns will be re-recorded when aired again, right?

Yes the DVR records anything you have selected, whether it is new or a re-run.
