Happy to see this. I cut the cord and went with Playstation Vue a few month back. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. Vue with the sports add-on gave my family 99% of the channels we wanted for a fraction of the price we were previously paying. I have also found the extra "hassle" of having to fire up the streaming service instead of just clicking on the TV has also been beneficial. I do not turn the TV on out of boredom or laziness as nearly as often these days and I don't get sucked in to watching movies I've seen before or stuff I really don't care about that much. Frees me up to do more productive things with my time.
