![]() ![]() Unlike Sling TV, which just recently added Chromecast to its growing list of device options, Vue is also relegated to a short list of streaming hardware, available only on Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and iPad, as well as being limited to a handful of cities, including Chicago, Dallas, LA, Miami, NYC, Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Offering packages that start at $50 per month and stretch up to $70, Vue’s overall approach is strikingly similar to cable, including cable’s notorious tacking on of off-brand channels like Desination America that users are forced to pay for, whether they watch them or not. Unlike Sling TV, which offers a cord cutter-friendly base package of around 20 popular channels for $20 per month, Vue came online with a more bloated selection, and a price to match. One of the only major Internet TV choices for cable expats, Vue launched in March to relatively little fanfare. In addition, Vue will offer on-demand content from Disney and ESPN stations, allowing viewers to catch up on shows for up to 3 days after air. Vue already offers affiliates from NBC, Fox, and CBS, so this latest deal essentially completes the broadcast network package. Under the new agreement, Vue subscribers will have access to a wide variety of coveted ESPN channels like ESPN2, and ESPN College, as well as adding the ability for local ABC affiliates to opt in to the service, according to Variety. ![]()
