Looks like your Chromecast Dongle will work.
You will need some kind of device on each TV - unless you have a Smart TV that can add the PS Vue app.
I'm on AT&T - my Max speed is 28MB and running wireless works well 99% of the time. Even cable sometimes had glitchy signal/pixelation/feezing occasionally. I defy you to look at the picture of the stream and see any difference between it and cable.
I just picked up a 55" TCL from Costco for $329 that has the Roku system built in...so that my be an option. I already had an AppleTV to put on it - so I haven't tried to add PS Vue to it - I may check it out.
PS Vue Supported Devices
The AppleTV boxes allow you to "AirPlay" so you can push videos from your phone or computer to the AppleTV for viewing. It's nice - but not a deal breaker if you don't have it. I don't know about the other systems - it's just been easier for me to stay in the Apple universe as it all works together and it's easier for the wife if she doesn't have to figure out different systems.
It takes a little adjustment to your viewing habits - but it's definitely easy enough to pick up.
I typically watch Sports on the ESPN app - everything is available to watch live or replay when convenient (Usually available to replay about 30 minutes after completion).
PS Vue has a DVR system - so you can tag shows to record and then watch later. It works great except for sports, because they don't differentiate enough on the teams. If you ask it to record an LSU football game - it records all "College Football" games - so it's more difficult to get back to it at a later date. I haven't found a way to stop that.
I've converted a couple of neighbors and they are all happy with the system.

FOLLOWUP:
Added the PS Vue app to the TCL Roku system last night. Works well and easy to use - you can set it so the TV defaults to that app when you turn it on.
