Playstation Vue is SHUTTING DOWN – These Are Your TOP 3 Options If Leaving Vue
Nov 10, 2019 | 0 |
Playstation Vue is closing it's doors at the end of Janurary… how to you get the same basic lineup for the same basic low price?
Hulu w/Live TV $44.99/mo
Hulu with live TV is the one I personally chose for myself because you get a nice lineup of news, locals, sports, and other popular cable channels for under $45/mo and it includes all of Hulu for free as a bonus.
Fubo TV $54.99/mo
They call themselves a sports fans must have, but don't have all the sports channels or games. They do have many many local channels, regional sports, news, national sports, and channels like MTV and Nickelodeon.
Youtube TV $49.99/mo
Youtube has local channels, ESPN, Fox News & MSNBC, and about 50 more channels. The guide and app is high quality because it is run by Google. You currently can't watch regular YouTube in this app, but they did add a tab of trending Youtube videos now within this TV app.
All three services are available in most major TV app stores and have DVR service available that works well.

Princess Diana staffer: One of the most poignant bits of royal video I've ever seen January 19, 2020
Princess Diana's former Chief of Staff Patrick Jephson reacts to Prince Harry's speech publicly addressing his and Meghan's decision to leave royal life.
Harry and Meghan brokered an unprecedented deal. Here is what it involves January 19, 2020
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will give up their royal titles and eschew some state funding in a deal brokered to end a crisis that broke out after the couple announced they would step back from the royal family.
Analysis: Meghan gets the blame because of her race January 10, 2020
From the moment Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their relationship known to the public in 2016, the message many Britons sent to her was clear:
Queen Elizabeth II 'particularly proud' of how Meghan so quickly became one of the family January 18, 2020
Max Foster: Meghan and Harry will now use these titles January 18, 2020
CNN's Max Foster explains the significance of the news that Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will no longer use the titles of His and Her Royal Highness after announcing they would step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family.
Opinion: Harry and Meghan aren't really quitting January 10, 2020
When I was 16 years old, I joined Republic, the British organization which campaigns to abolish the monarchy. Americans, it has always seemed to me, got this one right in 1776. Why afford political power and taxpayer-funded luxury to a bunch of people on the basis of their bloodline? This is the digital age, not […]
