Haven't tried cuz I found by the time you start combining all the options you need you really don't save much over just having a bundle from Fios, or Cable. And it's more of a hassle logging into a bunch of different stuff. Also if internet ever goes down so does your live tv

I'm paying 159 a month for 1000 internet speed 3 boxes and a channel package with HBO and Showtime. I've got no complaints.


You getting raped

Using DirecTV Now base package. $10/month for the first 3 months with promo code YESNOW3.

I like it doesn't really buffer at all except when you cycle through all the channels before picking one. Has a simple interface and nice guide that's easier to get parents and older folks on board with. 2 simultaneous streams

Lost signal once during an episode of Atlanta Housewives of all things :mjlol: . Sports run 60fps and haven't had any buffering or problems in my experience :ehh:.


Only issues being I don't get live local channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) in my area and some shows are slow to get episodes on demand.

They have a Beta program that brings a DVR and some improvements, invite only though.

Using on a FireTV 3 and two Roku Sticks, no issues. Have those antennas for local channels


PSVue had a shytty interface and I thought my PS3 :flabbynsick: was going to burst into flames using it. Only benefit I found was 5 simultaneous streams :whew:



If Hulu implements a proper interface for the live channel browsing and a guide, I'm hopping on that live w/ no commercials plan for $45/month :leon:.

Vue's interface on PS4 is nice, and it's good on Mobile. I have Roku's as well, but they are old and it's not pretty on there, but the quality is the same. It runs best on PS4 tho

It starts at like $30 or $35 tho. So it sucks because of how much the most expensive package costs?

:what:
I didn't realize you were such a Sony stan. That shyt is blinding you :francis:

Yes, it sucks because it doesn't offer the channels I want. Yes, it sucks that it costs $74.99 for everything, while I can get HBO and SHO with Hulu Live for $61 (and that also includes a shytload of content). Vue is limited, costs too much, and is missing channels I want. Hulu Live simply has (a lot) more shyt, and is cheaper.

But, you keep stanning Sony. Do you :hubie:

Vue on PS4 and firetv box is pretty good. PS4 obviously has the better and faster menus and can do picture in picture.

I been thinking about copping the directv now with that apple tv, but I got too many fukkin remotes can't stand another device.

I'm looking at both base packages, what channels are you even talking about?
:dead:

You can get HBO and SHO time added on Vue for 65, so I am failing to see what Hulu Live has so much more of.

I have access to HBOGo anyway, so I get that shyt for free anyway.

Viceland, CW, History

Hulu has netflix levels of shows as well. It has so much shyt. Vue doesn't have a library behind it at all. Hulu Live is simply a better package, as it includes Live TV, On Demand, and libraries of shows and seasons to stream with no ads. All for $43.99 a month.

It's not that difficult to comprehend, breh. You simply get much more with Hulu. :yeshrug:
