Playstation Vue: THE cable killer?

[SublimeKnight]

This is why I have no interest in cutting for now.

I pay $130 a month for BH and frankly that's perfectly fine, instead of having to use 8 different apps and a streaming device to piecemeal together what I want to watch, all while missing out on many of the sports channels that I do watch frequently.

The big winner will be the company that can someday package everything into one "app" and rope in the sports channels. One stop shopping.

Vue carriers locals for a few cities, I'm guessing Orlando will be in the next round of additions. Then all your current cable functionality will be in one app.

For $35 a month, these are all the sports channels I get with Vue:
ESPN
ESPN2
ESPNNews
ESPNU
SEC Network
BEIN Sports
B1G Network
FOX Sports
FS1
FS2
CSN
NBC Sports
NBC Golf

I use 2 apps to watch tv now: Vue & Hulu. Netflix is an a la carte app and I only binge watch it when there's a new series out like Daredevil. If there's a live sporting event on one of the big 4 networks, I'll switch to the antenna but, other than that, everything they show is on Hulu and I've been watching tv on demand for years. So 2 apps and an antenna, that's all it really takes for me.

Trust me, if I could pay $130 a month for cable up here, I wouldn't be doing this. Everything up here starts at $150 before you add the cable boxes.
