Help re: PlayStation Vue setup
Posted on 1/8/19 at 3:34 pm

I’m looking into canceling DirecTV after my latest bill increase. Based on channel selection, I think I’ve landed on PlayStation Vue.
I’ve read the cord cutting threads, but I’m still confused as to what I actually need to purchase. What do I need to set up 5 TVs on PS Vue? I have a PS3 but no other devices that I can stream from (that I know of). I believe I’ve got each tv wired for internet rather than running off WiFi. Do I need a Roku for each tv? Or is there a better option for setting up? Thanks!

You need a smart device on every TV unless the TV is already a smart TV.
You need to test it out before you do anything.
1. Will your wife or family like the functionality of streaming TV
2. Will your internet be able to hold up? Live streaming isn't the same as streaming Netflix. What is your internet speed right now?
3. Do you have a data cap on your internet? You need to find out if you do, and how much you are currently using. It'll shoot up if you go to streaming (especially if more than 1 person is watching at a time).

I've found fire TV to be far superior to Roku for PSvue. I have a Roku smart TV and the interface is so awful for PSvue I bought another fire tv to use on it.

I had PSVue for about a year. I switched to youtube TV and I like it better FWIW. Pretty much the same channels, and youtube (depending on your location) gives you all the local channels. When I had Psvue I had to log into the CBS app to watch LSU football games. Youtube gets CBS unless you live in the middle of nowhere. Its also a little cheaper
