One of my Fire TVs will do this and one won't. I have to keep hitting play. Eventually it works.

Yes. Did some googling and it's a common problem. It drives me fricking crazy. Both fire tv's do this in my house. Vue went down last night so my wife said no big deal, I'll watch netflix. Turns out that wasn't an option either.

I had the same issue and it seemed to be on multiple channels but I'm not gonna cry about it.

The only other issues I have is sometimes the dvr shows are a little shitty and jump ahead. Maybe my Internet was going in an out as it recorded.

Nah, it's an issue they are fixing. They have also began to record 5 minutes before and some time after a show is supposed to finish to prevent cut out recordings for shows that overflow

I had problems with the Fox owned channels last night, FS1, FS2, and FX last night. All the other channels I tried seemed to work fine. Only the 2nd time I've had a problem with Vue, but I'll take it for $35 a month.

I've been reading List Eaters comments about it. Will give it a try.

Obviously, you would be using Sling to watch the game if it worked for you.


I could have upgraded Sling to Orange and Blue to get FS1 but decided to do the free trial of Vue since it gets glowing reviews.....and I thought the Dodgers season would be over after the Nats series....when they won I was so giddy I let Vue charge me for a month.

I didn't like the interface at all.


Neither do I. Really counter intuitive.

I've seen what you drink.

It seems one of your major complaints here is not being able to contact customer service.

If they stated on the site that there was a known issue, what did you expect customer service to do for you via telephone?




I was using their "chat with support" option on their web site.....didn't see telephone option. I wanted to cancel and get a pro-rated refund and then just upgrade my Sling for a month....which would be cheaper than Vue and is what I should have done to begin with. I just wanted to see what Vue had to offer.

Yep. Usually I can reboot FireTV and it works. But about once every couple of weeks I have to uninstall netflix, reboot and reinstall.

Are you too lazy to use the app on FireTV or something? Wow, that might have taken only half the time that it took you to write your OP.

Ask the people in the Lafayette area about Vue.....oh wait don't they (including myself in Crowley) live in a Vue blackout zone but only if you are on Cox (LUS in Lafayette works just fine).

So if you want my opinion....SlingTV is 100% better than Vue for me, but I'd like to at least have the option to try Vue out.

Any word on other changes? I've posted a couple times in the other thread about their DVR service leaving much to be desired...

Nice bump!.....but to add to the PSVue beat down, buddy got PSvue but it stopped working after a few days. He called and they tried different fixes to no avail and finally told him there was nothing they could do to fix the issue.

Zapp .. I went from PSV to Directv Now and it's money. Outside of an outage during GOT's premiere is just like cable TV.

Downside is we are waiting on DVR which is in beta.

But DVR and OD with PSV is garbage.

I use fabiptv.....better customer service and cheaper than flawless..... But it ain't perfect......no IPTV is on the level of vie or sling or dtv....bit its close. I am debating whether to get sling for football season.
