PLAYSTATION VUE DVR
You can't record premium channels like HBO, Starz, etc.
You can't fast forward on FOX, FX, or FXX programs
DVR storage is 500 episodes, not hours. But that equates to about 100-250 hours of storage depending on how long each episode is.
PLAYSTATION VUE PICTURE QUALITY
This is the best thing PS Vue has to offer. But, you need a solid internet connection. We recommend 25-50 Mbps to get the best picture quality.
