YouTube TV looks like the next best option.Yeah....I’ll have to go shopping....
YouTube TV looks like the next best option.
I've started looking once I saw they said it was for sale.
My stepdad has YouTube TV and my mom doesn't seem to have any issues with it so I will find out more from him if there is anything wonky about it. If not I will test it out.
Worst case, I take advantage of cheap promo rates from Spectrum and start playing the back and forth game.
I don't care for sling.I’m not a Google fan, so I’m not sure...maybe Hulu or Sling....they’re probably all bastards
I don't care for sling.
We get Hulu for free because of mobile phones, but not the live tv service. I don't hate the UI for regular Hulu so maybe I should look into their live tv.
From what I've seen, YouTube TV has all the channels we would want that our PS Vue plan has except maybe one or two and they aren't watched anyway.
We had the PlayStation service for maybe 3 months and they started playing a rate game with us so we switched to YouTube TV. Liked the YouTube TV a lot better, just the way it's presented is very intuitive and you can share an account easily with a bunch of other people.I don't care for sling.

isn't there something about the guide and not seeing future programming or something?We had the PlayStation service for maybe 3 months and they started playing a rate game with us so we switched to YouTube TV.

Only thing I'm not a big fan of is that you can't DVR an individual episode of a show, only the entire series. But storage is unlimited, so no issue.
isn't there something about the guide and not seeing future programming or something?
Yeah, I don't really know about a guide on there... don't think there is one. Just a search to save future programming, but I think you have to search for it by name or category. In typical Google fashion, it's pretty creepy... the "home" tab almost always highlights the thing I'm turning it on to watch. Like, the top 5 things in the "home" list are the five most interesting shows or games... it even knows to keep the volleyball games within reach, because sometimes... uh... friends come over who watch girls volleyball.
Oh yeah, definitely. You can set it up in the order you want and can disable the ones you don't care about so you don't have to scroll through them... I wipe out the Spanish and shopping channels, but just realized I have a bunch of others blocked I didn't even realize like the ACC Network. Wouldn't mind having that in case I ever get an urge for some high school FB.
Is there at least a channel list, even if it is just alphabetical order?
That's good to know.Oh yeah, definitely. You can set it up in the order you want and can disable the ones you don't care about so you don't have to scroll through them...

The one thing I do wonder, with this move, Sony could do what Microsoft has done and open up their consoles to allow all the other streaming services on their device.
Would make it where I don't need to get another fire stick or something lol
Not that I am aware of, on Playstation.You can already do this, I think....
Not that I am aware of, on Playstation.
You can get regular YouTube, but not the TV app.
You can also get regular Hulu, but not the live tv, that I am aware of.
One would think that will change however I am sure those gears will turn slowly as they weren't smart enough to make simple changes that would have kept them out of this situation to begin with.
