This is what makes me sad about cutting the cord. I want 1 system that provides:

1) PS Vue
2) Central repository to hold/download repository of purchased content or blu-rays
3) Music content (Apple Music or Amazon Music, etc)
4) Be able to accept AUX in to get my digital antenna signal for OTA TV.

I guess the closest thing is Amazon Fire TV or PS4? I really would love to be able to use some of the storage on AppleTV or Amazon to be able to download "Frozen" to its internal HD so I don't have to stream it everytime and waste bandwidth.

Thoughts?

To be fair, you can't get all that with one system if you keep the cord attached, either.

Unfortunately, the studios don't trust honest users, so as usual the easiest way to do what you want is to "steal" the content via torrents or usenet. That way you can manage your media the way you want.

But you're right, I think. The closest you can get right now to your "one system" is probably the FireTV. Obviously Vue and music content won't be a problem there. You don't get a direct antenna in, but you can use a Tablo or HDHomerun I think to get basically the same thing. As for your central repository of "purchased" content, you'll probably have to use alternative methods as I mentioned, and then do something like run a Plex server and access your media with the Plex app on the FireTV.

Vue also works just as good one the ps3 as a ps4. In fact if you have a ps4 and want to watch vue on another tv in another room you will have to have a different device than another ps4. As the user id that is connected to the service only allows it to be logged into one ps4 or ps3.

Not 1, but you could do it with 2 systems, I'd imagine.

I don't think it's that big of a deal to do it on 2 compared to 1.
