With so many streaming services to choose from, a decision about which to subscribe to will come down to the details. Which channels, features, and price point do the services have that make one a better option than the rest? We’re here to share the facts to help you make your choice.

In this post, we’re answering some of the common questions you might have about PlayStation Vue.

What is PlayStation Vue?

PlayStation Vue is Sony’s content streaming service. You don’t need a PlayStation game console to subscribe or watch content (although the streaming service is compatible with PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles.)

With a subscription, you can watch up to 85+ live TV channels including local news and sports. PlayStation Vue also has an on-demand library loaded with shows and movies.

How Much Does It Cost?

You’ll have four options to choose from when signing up for a PlayStation Vue subscription.

How Can I Watch?

PlayStation Vue works with the following devices:

Within 30 days of signing up, be sure to sign in at your home zip code. That’s how you’ll get access to your live local channels. After signing in at your zip code, you’ll be able to watch those local channels wherever you’re at when you sign into your PlayStation Vue account.

What Channels Will I Get?

Here’s the channel lineup for the Ultra plan, with all of the available channels on PlayStation Vue:

In addition to those channels, you can choose from these add-on packages and standalone channels:

Can I Record Content?

Yes. Your PlayStation Vue subscription comes with “unlimited” Cloud DVR storage that will allow you to record up to 500 programs. Your content will be saved for 28 days.

You can set up the My DVR settings to record all upcoming episodes of your favorite shows or set up a one time recording. Keep in mind that there are some DVR restrictions, based on individual channels and locations.

Can I Watch On More Than One Screen At Once?

Yes. PlayStation Vue will let you watch 5 streams simultaneously. However, you can only watch on 3 away from your home area, including smartphones and tablets.

Can I Use My PlayStation Vue Account to Log In To TV Everywhere Apps?

Yes. Over 60 network partners allow you to sign in to their channel apps with your PlayStation Vue information. When you sign in to those apps, look for PlayStation Vue on their list of providers and use your username and password to login to your account. To get access, you’ll need to be subscribed to one of the PlayStation Vue plans that offers that channel.

These are the apps and websites that will allow you to sign in with your PlayStation Vue account:

Note that CBS All Access is a separate app that will not let you sign in with your PlayStation Vue account information.
