I tried a trial. Very similar to PS Vue, Hulu Live, etc. I recommend it if you like the channel lineup.

The networks and cable channels will want similar deals as to those with the cable companies. Just wait until these streaming options make you sign year long contracts.

And you're paying $8-15 for three or four other streaming services.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think ESPN+ is mostly niche sports. Don't quote me on that though.

So cool to see this thread pop up on the very day where I think I've finally decided (after 15 years) to shitcan Comcast for good and try Playstation Vue. Going to try the trial of course before I make the move; been reading mostly positive reactions across the web. I'm not really out to save oodles of cash (I realize Vue is a bit pricey on the high package side), I'm just fucking sick of years of monopoly/abuse from Comcast's shit service. Anyone think I'm nuts or making the right move based on experience?
