I switched from Sling to Playstation Vue.

I like vue quite a bit from the start...more channels, sports, local news and my disabled sister-in-law could watch Good Morning America on the day it first aired (Hulu next day). But now they have added a grid...it took some work to figure out how it worked and there probably is stuff I don't know still, but I love it. You can go back days and watch shows you missed or just decided to look back for the hell of it. You can go forward and for seems like weeks and add movies. I added all the Christmas movies.You add shows with a + sign and then they are recorded...no limit either like sling for the DVR...and I have had less technical issues than Sling...although Sling had improved. And the added all three Hall Mark Channels. I love the mystery channel. It also turned out cheaper than Sling for what I wanted and way cheaper than cable.

(mystery). I spent too much buying seasons...paying 48 a month for everything...this on cable would be close $300 on Spectrum and $250. on Satellite.

I did not like Sling as much though that was over a year ago, so they have probably made changes.

Additionally, I did Sling on Roku and am doing Vue on Fire, so that makes a difference, too.

Hubs missed football games. And the Vue interface is more stable...we have way more channels for less money too.
