Sony Vue is rock solid, have had only a few freezes. Channel lineup for the $35 level is almost perfect. Part of my issue was always getting the channels I wanted without paying for premium cable. Menu is not bad, actually pretty good. Wish there was a way to get detail on a show without drilling through the menus. Saving shows, DVR, works well. Not as much OnDemand content as Diectv Now but I think the app login is probably better than any other service to get on demand.

Very cool.

If you have Vue, what do you use Tablo for? Vue give you ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox but not local, correct?


Also, another Vue question...are you able to record shows across all platforms? Meaning, I assume you can record shows from the PS4 or the Apple TV since you said it has the better interface. I didn't spend too much time on the Roku interface for Vue but the little time I did spend, I did not notice a feature where you could record or watch recorded shows.

Vue does not have local channels, so the Tablo is used for local. I have about 29 local channels. It records just like a cable TV DVR to an external USB HD you plug in.

Vue does have on deman for ABC and Fox but local including sports (Saints/LSU) is not on Vue

Bump, hoping someone can provide some insight on this one.
