It's good enough.
I used it for about 6 months when it first debuted, but on a machine in my office.

I believe Playstation Vue works on Roku, so if that works out for you, I may take that jump with you.

The cheapest monthly package on Playstation Vue is $50, no?

works best on the Playstation or FireTV where on both it gives you the viewing guide. My girl loves it. We had the expensive package but eventually dropped it down to the cheap $29 one,simply because all the stuff you are inclined to watch is available at that price point.

The roku interface for ps vue is different from whats on PS3 or Firetv but I like it better. while it doesnt have the guide, you can scroll to "all channels" and see what's currently "live".

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

I have a computer connected to my tv/surround system so it fits right in. I think the interface could be better but that's whatever. WHen I first started using it I kept having problems with the audio but at some point they updated the app and it's been great ever since.

My thoughts on it:

-The interface is awful
-You could probably keep these basic cable channels with Comcast or whoever for around the same price. You are essentially getting basic cable but just streaming it instead.
-It's just paying money back to a shitty cable company (Direct TV)
-I don't really need this shit, it's why I cut the cord in the first place

If you really can't live without some live TV though, it works. Just not worth $20 for me with that garbage interface.

If you can find a friend or family member who will share their cable login with you, you can get access to a lot of channels content online or through their apps.
