Now that it's available in Houston for only $35/month and it has all of the local networks unlike DTVNow (currently grandfathered in) I'm contemplating making the switch. Is there a down side that I'm not seeing? Anyone used it yet?

Depends on what you watch. No HBO, Viacoms, Discovery or A&E channels. Basically it is locals, national sports, some kids channels and some stuff that I don't know who watches.

There is not a native app on any of the streaming boxes. The only way to use it is to cast it from a phone or tablet, that may not be a big deal to you, but I don't like that kind of setup at all. I think it works way worse than a native app, may just be the hardware I've used in the pas though (never had a Chromecast device, just the built in stuff in my Vizio TV).

The no HBO certainly is a negative.

Didn't realize there wasn't an app. Not a fan of that. Probably a deal breaker.

Try the Hulu Live service. The only local Houston channel not currently with live service is NBC. And that should change soon. I have had it for a month and am really impressed. So much so I cancelled my Directv service today. Has apps for Android and Xbox. All the others will follow shortly.

Really? Who cares. I have Vue, but I don't subscribe to HBO through them. I just subscribe to HBO Now, so regardless, I have HBO.

Makes sense. I went ahead and signed up for the free 30 day trial. We'll see how it is.

it does come with CBS which PS VUE does not. That makes me a little tempted, but we lose a lot when it comes to it.

Really impressed for the most part before I learned today that some channels force you to watch the on-demand version of the DVRed shows (aka commercials) if there is an on demand version available. NBC is one of these channels so you can probably predict its coming to the others.

Depends on your area. I have CBS on PS Vue here in Austin.

Doesn't have Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, History, NFL Network, Nickelodeon, *****, TBS, or TNT. By far the worst package of channels for any major streaming service.

If you want all local channels live, look at Hulu Live or DirecTV now.
