The web-based television service allows users to
access live TV and on-demand content without a cable or
satellite service, the company said.
The service offers catch-up and on-demand TV. It makes the past
three days of popular programming available without the need to
schedule recordings, the company said.
During the invite-only beta, PlayStation Vue will initially
offer around 75 channels per market from major programmers, such
as CBS, Discovery Communications, Fox, NBCUniversal, Scripps
Networks Interactive and Viacom.
PlayStation Vue will begin an invite-only beta preview during
November for select PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 owners, with
a phased rollout starting in New York followed by Chicago,
Philadelphia and Los Angeles, the company said.
The service will also be available on iPad shortly thereafter,
and later on to more Sony and non-Sony devices.
