Happy Cakeday, r/Vue community members! I sincerely hope that you all are doing well during this strange time.

In lieu of a "greatest hits" Cakeday post - given the inactive nature of our beloved service and subreddit - we thought it best to field a poll on any new streaming services that you all may be exploring. If you are using more than one streaming service, please feel free to leave a comment below. If your new service is not listed in poll, please comment below, if you wish. (Sorry - the poll could only fit six entries.)

If you do not wish to participate, feel free to discuss what you miss about Vue compared to other providers. Alternatively, feel free to note any new features or programming from new providers that was not apparent in Vue.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank this wonderful community once more for promoting lively discussion, helping users work through various issues, and sharing a mutual appreciation of our beloved streaming service.

As we are all sadly aware, Vue ceased its services on January 30th, 2020.

Therefore, as of today, we will be closing r/Vue to new submissions. The mod team will carry on at r/cordcutters and we recommend that you all join us there. I can personally attest that it is a very active subreddit that shares a similar love of streaming services and cord cutting solutions.

Thank you all again for your contributions!

Now that vue is shut down? My billing date was around the 20th and as of now I can still watch shows on HBONow and am unable to change my billing information. Will it last till the 20th? will it shut down tomorrow?

I watch ESPN,Fox sports, GOLF CHANNEL,Big Ten Network,National Geographic and maybe a few others like freeform. Any suggestions for these? Thanks

This and communities like it MATTER. Everyone who has come to praise, complain, or think-out-loud about Vue has been heard. We couldn't always address your concerns and we could not directly communicate with you, but you've been heard!

The moderators deserve huge praise keeping the area around here positive and friendly (as much as anyone can expect from the Internet).

Directly from the development team let me extend a heart-felt thank you. Go forth knowing that spaces like this do really make it all the way down to the exact person (in some cases) that need to hear it. Both positive and negative comments come through. And priority boards were commonly changed in response.

We are very sad to see Vue come to an end, but proud to have been part of the changes that were sorely needed. And you have truly been a part of that with us.

Thank you
Vue Development

I know both my phone and Apple TV apps just take me to that depressing shutdown screen, but am I the only one who might save the app for a while? I feel like it’s sort of a badge of honor, knowing the app has already been removed from the App Store. I feel like I’m writing an obituary or something here.

Sigh.

I know it’s just “TV” but Sony tried hard to get us the best TV experience. PSVue was way ahead of its time and its times like this where I wish I appreciated what I had. Now that PSVue is gone I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I’m just as sad as most of you. For those moving to other platforms I wish you well. For those that are going to be homeless(TV less) I’ll be right along your side. Thank you PlayStation for giving us an experience like no other.

Goodbye...forever

Update: As of 7PM CST PS Vue no longer functions. I'm sure it happened earlier but that was my first chance to check today. RIP Vue, you will be missed.

I signed up for YouTube TV about an hour ago and am figuring it out. I will say that the picture is sharper and more colorful one my One X vs base PS4 but that's not the fault of Vue at all. The DVR sorting by type of program is a step ahead already and moving forward/back in programs seems a bit faster as well.

I mostly picked YouTube TV due to similar program offerings and superior DVR vs competitors.

Original post below:

Not sure why, but I'm still able to stream the last thing I was watching via DVR. (Seinfeld FTW!!) I was curious so I completely started the program over and closed/opened the app. Haven't looked around at anything else yet but the menu is still updating for live programing and showing it's actively DVRing. (Best I can tell)

Currently 7:52PM CST

Using my PS4 via Ethernet connection.

You’ve run a good inclusive and tolerant community here and you deserved more subscribers and a service that continued on. Thanks for navigating a good Sub here and I know we all appreciate it!! Hope all goes well with you. And who knows...Sony has said they haven’t closed the door on streaming services forever. We might be back at some point?

Since today is the last day of service, I just thought I would give my respects to this service. Vue was the only live TV streaming service I’ve ever known, and I thought it was one of the best out there. Sure, there were problems with it, but not enough for me to switch. Although, I wasn’t happy when the Viacom channels left and still kept the price. However, that’s the past now.

In a perfect world, Vue would still be going strong if Sony gave any effort and attention towards it. From getting more channels and features added to it; to naming it better that didn’t confused the public into thinking they needed a PlayStation console to get it. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be.

I’ll be switching to Hulu today, as I shared my TV with my family and they wanted the Disney bundle thing. While it may not have all the channels and features like I had with Vue, but it’s close enough. Hopefully Hulu is good to me. While I’ve not been as active here, but it was a pleasure to had Vue as my TV provider; and may all of you do well in whatever provider you go with. RIP Vue, you’ll be missed.

I used Playstation Vue a couple of times for a few months, before Youtube TV finally came to our area. Served it's purpose, sad to lose the competition, as well as having a second choice...it's competition that keeps things companies in line. We have too little of it already in this area. I'll miss having the choice of PS Vue.

PlayStation Vue will be shutting down sometime tomorrow January 30, 2020.

Good luck to everyone going down with the ship. This is your place to talk about your stories and exit strategies. Memes are also welcome.

This sub will be shutdown sometime next week and redirected to r/CordCutters, in the meantime have at it.

I just finally signed up for YTTV (which doesn't have the two week trial I've been spammed with for weeks anymore! :c) and it's got some cool features, but the UI makes me miss Vue already.

Vue was the first digital service of the type I subscribed to, just to check it out since it was on my PS4 dash, and I never looked back. I'm already starting to appreciate things it offered even more after using YTTV for only about an hour. It's such a damn shame and I wish I could do something as a customer to have it stick around.

After so many years of use it's a nightmare to try to remember all of the shows I'd favorites and I'm sure I'll be missing quite a few; I actually started snapping photos of my DVR list to have some sort of backup, but it's far too large for that to be a reliable method. I wish I'd written some script to pull a text list from the web version, wish I'd realized this would be a problem before now.

Anyways, these are just random ramblings but I feel legitimately saddened by the fact that this will be the last day with Vue. It's weird, because I've never give a shit about swapping cable providers or anything like that in the last, but something is different. Maybe it's because of how customized the service is for you after an extended period of use and the feeling that you're losing all of that "work" you put in to getting it just right.

So yeah, this is just a shit post of me saying "I'm sad." G'bye, Vue, you shall be missed.
