A:Answer Great question. My wife and I got PlayStation Vue's best package with STARZ and Showtime , the Amazon Fire TV, HBO Now, Netflix and Hulu and paid $175 to set it all up (some people pay that monthly). Monthly, we pay $75.
PlayStation Vue's makes it worth while. The key is that you get LIVE television with cloud DVR for 28 days with an on-screen guide. We watch CNN, CNBC, Nat Geo, MTV, MTV2, VH1, TBS, FX...and even ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. You can also stream on 5 machines simultaneously. This with the Amazon Fire TV, it IS cheaper than cable...much cheaper. I've heard buffering issues with the Stick so spring for the Fire TV. And it has Alexa...its pretty amazing.
