Streaming TV is only getting better. I only watch TV for basketball, and when the grey-market streaming service I was using for NBA games got shut down, I wanted to at least be able to see the nationally televised (ESPN and TNT) games without cable. I tried Sling for a month and it had issues, but for the past few weeks I've been using Playstation Vue it has been practically flawless. I'm on a 25/3 Time Warner connection running at least half a dozen connected devices during peak usage times, and I haven't seen a hiccup or quality drop once. The NCAA championship game last night was without buffering and looked great on my 4K TV (not in 4K, but the quality never changed to the point where I noticed any drop in clarity). It has some DVR functions depending on the program and channel as well.

Looking at the Playstation Vue plans right now and it doesn't look like these are any cheaper than regular cable TV $55/$45/$40 a month are the three tiers. Is there something I'm missing?

  Pricing must be based on where you're located, because the lowest tier (all I need) is only $30 here. The biggest benefit for me is that when the NBA season's done I will just click a button and stop paying, then click another button and start again in October. When I gave up on cable I had to take half a day off of work and drive an hour to the central office and say "no" a dozen times to their pleas to keep me on as a cable customer.
