Sony has revealed a new cloud-based TV service called PlayStation Vue.<\/p>\n

What it does, basically, is let people watch on-demand and live TV over the interwebs. No DStv satellite or Altech Node required – all you need is a PlayStation 3 or 4 and a broadband Internet connection.<\/p>\n

PS4 and PS3 owners (well, a lucky few) will receive a beta version of the service before the end of November 2014, Sony told\u00a0Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A PlayStation-eque user interface and DualShock control will let you navigate Vue, while the service will monitor your viewing habits and recommended shows and movies. That could be awkward if a friend arrives unexpectedly – “Why does your PlayStation Vue keep recommending we watch Dance Moms?”<\/p>\n

The service will also store the last three days of programming, giving you instant access to anything you may have missed. If you want to save a show yourself you can do that to, with no storage restrictions or schedule conflict issues. (Guess the cloud is cool after all.)<\/p>\n

PlayStation Vue’s beta will include 75 channels per market, with North America getting CBS, Fox, NBC, and Viacom.<\/p>\n

Although no pricing information is available yet – or whether it is coming to South Africa – Sony has promised that the subscription will be “fair” and will be offered on a month-to-month basis.<\/p>\n

Once the beta is over Sony said it will look at bringing the service to the iPad and other devices. The commercial launch is expected in early 2015.<\/p>\n

“This is an opportunity, in my view, to fulfill a longer goal of transforming what was in the past a dedicated game device into a proper entertainment hub,” said Sony, refering to Vue on the PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n
