First things first – you don’t actually need a PlayStation in order to use PlayStation Vue. It’s available on a wide variety of technology platforms, including Apple TV, Roku, Chromecasts, and many more.

PlayStation Vue is a great solution for cord-cutters who are looking to cancel their cable or satellite subscriptions – but don’t want to lose out on live sports, news, and other programming.

They offer a wide variety of network programming, including CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, BBC America, and much more.

PlayStation Vue is particularly attractive for NFL fans – offering local TV networks for the Sunday games, NFL Network for Thursday Night Football, and ESPN for Monday Night Football. If you live in-market for your favorite NFL team, you should be able to watch every game they play using this package. And you’ll have access to nationally televised league action as well.

Overall, it’s an excellent option for cord-cutters who don’t want to lose access to live TV.
