================================
Received this email today and appears to be authentic. For the most part, I've enjoyed Vue as the most complete Sports package among all the streaming services. This would appear to discontinue just before the Super Bowl.
If you want to switch, I would recommend Sling TV's Orange and Blue services if you are a Sports TV junkie. It's not as complete but it covers almost everything.
Headline should say “Your”, not “You”. Sorry for the typo.
Well that sucks. I just restarted my sub. Haven’t gotten the email yet. You sure it isn’t a regional discontinuance? I have not read anything else about this.
1. They needed a deal with A&E to provide the History channel.
2. Calling it “PlayStation Vue” misled potential subscribers into thinking they needed a PlayStation to view it.
I switched to Hulu solely because of the History Channel.
I was totally unaware until I received the email and spent some time trying to make sure I wasn’t being scammed (the sent email was different than the usual one) but the link back to the FAQ page (Sony Entertainment) seemed legit and so I posted.
PS Vue has MLB Network and the Longhorn Network which I could not get on Sling TV. I was going to scale back after NFL season anyway. Instead, I’ll just sign up elsewhere when this lapses.
Did a Vue trial solely because it would allow me to watch a Penn State game (otherwise only available on Big10 network)
They could have done a better marketing job. Never converted to a subscriber.
Hulu Live has big 10. No nfl network though.
Yeah, I went to the PSVue site and got a pop up telling me as much.
Funny, I got it to watch UK basketball.
