So for anyone that cares (apparently, not nearly enough people), Sony announced yesterday that they're pulling the plug (!) on PSVue.

YoutubeTV looks like my next best bet.
I have really loved my PS Vue for the last year or so. This is pretty sad news.

so YoutubeTV is the best? Ever heard of Philo? Starting my search for a replacement.
Me too. I'm looking at Sling.

I had been on the fence about getting a new PS. Thanks for knocking me off.

This actually highlights the problem. PSVue has absolutely nothing to do with owning a PlayStation. PSVue is an app. It runs on phones, Roku, Amazon FireTV, etc. You never needed to own a PlayStation to use PSVue.

I mention it since Sony is shutting it down due to lack of subscribers. The fact that they didn't make it clear that a PlayStation wasn't necessary had a lot to do with that.

Philo is basically Viacom's content. I won't bore you with the schizophrenic relationship that Viacom, CBS, the Redstone family, and Les Moonves had.

Philo is Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, BET, Paramount, etc. They have a decent amount of "middle channel" TV content. For $20/mo, it's sort of an add-on to other streaming services if you like their offerings.

YouTubeTV does have unlimited DVR. They offer one subscription price ($50) for which you get 6 accounts (everyone gets their own DVR and individual recommendations) and 3 simultaneous streams. The DVR stays saved for like 90 days or something. Of course, it's all cloud based.

Thanks! Yes, I learned this after I posted. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
