PlayStation Vue is an app created by Sony as an alternative to watching cable TV. It was launched in March and was recently made available to Android and iOS devices. Sony revealed that the app is also arriving to Mac and PC soon.
PlayStation Vue streaming service did not become popular after its release but it is now gaining attention because of the improved features and service. It is basically a cable TV replacement that requires subscription to be able to access 55 up to 100 channels.
Subscribers have the option to choose from $39.99 up to $74.99 monthly subscription rates. Of course, the channels that will be available to you will depend on the plan you pick. With the PlayStation Vue, viewers can enjoy live streaming from big networks in the U.S. including CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC.
Since PlayStation Vue is still considered as new, it is important to know details about it before deciding to subscribe. Below are some of the most common questions and answers about Sony's new streaming app:
What is the difference between cable and PlayStation Vue?
PlayStation Vue is the cheaper alternative to regular TV service like satellite or cable. The major benefit from using this service is the technology that allows users to bookmark their favorite channels. The app also provides show recommendations that users might like.
It is cheaper because there is no installation fee, equipment rental costs, lock-in periods, contracts or other hidden fees to pay once subscribed. Such fees are common in cable and satellite subscriptions.
What are the devices that support PlayStation Vue?
Once subscribed, users can access the streaming service on their Android and iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. However, it should be noted that some channels may not be available for mobile viewing and access via PC, Mac, Xbox and the web are not yet supported at this time.
How to cancel the service?
Canceling service from PlayStation Vue is much easier compared to traditional cable. For subscribers who are using PS4 or PS3, they can simply cancel through the app's account settings menu. The good thing is that there is not cancellation cost and no need to go talk to the customer-retention specialists.
Finally, PlayStation Vue app is available for download via Google Play and iTunes. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more news and updates!
