Nope. I have psvue but I just got an email that they're jumping my cost up by $10.
Is it due to the new local channels they might be picking up...?
Only local Tampa channel I know about is Fox. So I'd say no.
Apparently they signed a bunch of other affiliates last week according to Cordcutters, just didn't see the list of affiliates listed. I know users with streaming local channels pay $5-10 more per package.
Looks like all the prices are changing.I am on the middle teir so it doesn't effect me then. Wonder why the change.
Effective 7/6/2017 for new customers, PlayStation™Vue plans will have the same nationwide pricing, as follows:
If you are already subscribing at one of the prices above, your price will not change.
- Access: $39.99/mo*
- Core: $44.99/mo*
- Elite: $54.99/mo*
- Ultra: $74.99/mo*
If you have Access Slim, Core Slim, Elite Slim, or Ultra Slim pricing, you will keep your current price for three billing cycles after the July 6 pricing change announcement. At the conclusion of this period, your monthly subscription will change (on your subscription renewal date) to the pricing above, based on the plan you have. If you upgrade, downgrade, or re-subscribe during this special pricing period, currently available pricing will apply.
Sony claims PlayStation Vue has launched more live local broadcast stations (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) than any other Internet-based pay-TV provider, with least one local broadcast station for over 78 percent of the US population.
on Sling tv....SEC Network, as well as ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN 3, ESPNU, and ESPNews are only on the Orange package (the cheaper of the two anyway.) $20/monthBlue package? I thought it had SEC network, but it doesn't look that way for the Gainesville area. Any info? The website isn't real helpful.
Douglas...are any of the big 4 live in your area on PS vue?
According to that cnet article:
The updated pricing is not entirely out of line with the other options, though you'd think PS vue upping their prices to the other options isn't really going to help them with market share....especially if they haven't fixed the buffering issue for a lot of people.
Sling being the cheapest entry level, but you get much less in selection than the others at that level.
Seems to be part of the reason Sony is justifying the change in price, so I was just wondering.I currently get Fox, but I have heard that the company that owns the ABC affiliate is in negotiations.

Seems CBS is playing hardball all around though aren't they?I have been following on cordcutters (pops up every morning on my alerts) where they have been signing a lot of the companies who own the affiliates. It just have to be when they hit us. One article mentioned how they believe they will have most the country (if not all) by middle of next year.

I guess PSvue is trying to be the one stop shop though. Would certainly simplify the set up, though I wouldn't want to pay much more than their new prices because in total, internet and streaming costs would start to reach cable levels.
less equipment is the only thing I can think of lol, though I guess it depends on each persons setup.CBS is pushing their own digital services... but why would I buy them if I can pick them up on antenna?

I guess I was saying two different things there and it ran into one, I was saying that ps vue is trying to become a one stop shop, separately, I was saying I wouldn't want to pay much more (if any) than ps vue's new rates...in other words if they think continuing to add live major networks is going to give them a free pass to continue raising rates, they are probably going to lose out to competition.
Too many options now.
