I pay about 100 bucks a season for MLBtv to get all of the out of market games streaming. I'd pay a bit more for that if they'd stop blacking out local games and also stream MLBNetwork.

But now that I know about PS Vue I'll be dropping cable as soon as I'm contractually able to.

You have a contract w/Comcast? Pretty sure my years in MA, it was all at-will?

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think you can have up to two or three streaming at the same time. You must be in your home to access live TV unless it is through a Watch ESPN type setting.

So presumably I could be using PS Vue on a roku watching live TV in one room, while someone in the other room is using the same ps vue account to watch live tv on another roku?
