Quote:My guess is a Playstation Vue subscription is only available on Playstation right?  So the 5 users at once thing would require 5 playstations instead of just any smart TV device.  Many of the apps that you could log into directly don't recognize SlingTV as a valid log in credential and I'm guessing they wouldn't recognize a Playstation Vue login credential either so there probably isn't a way to get around the fact that you have to have a Playstation hooked up to any TV that you want to watch your subscription through.  In fact, last year when I had SlingTV, ESPN was the only channel app you could log directly into with a SlingTV subscription.  Maybe that's changed and please correct me if I'm wrong.  Sounds like a great option for someone living alone and only owning one TV though.

According to PlayStation website you DO NOT have to own a PS3 or PS4. As of now, you can use Amazon Fire tv instead. Supposedly Roku will have it later. You do need to set up an account with PSN with a credit card on file. You do not need a yearly subscription to PlayStation plus. The PlayStation Vue is a separate subscription you can get.


According to what I've read, the Fire tv that I will receive today should allow me to download the PlayStation Vue app, then start a free trial of the service. I already have an old PSN account so I'll use that. Like I said, it seems too good to be true. Many more channels than slingTV. DVR, 5 users at once (provided you have multiple Amazon Fire Tvs or playstations).


The fire tv comes today. I'll activate it and start the free trial (assuming I am understanding their site properly). I'll let you know if there is a snag or catch.


In the mean time, go to PlayStation Vue website and read up on it.
