San Mateo, Calif. November 13, 2014<\/strong> \u2013 Sony Network Entertainment International LLC. (SNEI) and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today unveiled PlayStation\u2122Vue, a pioneering new cloud-based TV service that reinvents the television experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryday TV is about to become extraordinary with our new cloud-based TV service, PlayStation\u2122Vue.\u201d said Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Group Executive in charge of the Network Entertainment Business. \u201cPlayStation\u2122Vue reinvents the traditional viewing experience so your programming effortlessly finds you, enabling you to watch much more of what you want and search a lot less. PlayStation\u2122Vue brings the best of live TV and a robust catalog of the latest content, always keeping you connected to what\u2019s popular, new and trending. Today\u2019s announcement builds on the historic success of PlayStation\u00ae4 and demonstrates what our company is capable of when we embrace disruption and stay true to gamers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Removes Barriers between Viewers and Content<\/h3>\n

PlayStation\u2122Vue leverages the power of the cloud to combine the live, on-demand, and catch-up TV content viewers love with a powerful user interface, that delivers unprecedented personalization and simplicity.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • PlayStation\u2122Vue immediately connects viewers to the content they want to watch, helps them easily access their favorite shows and channels, and recommends movies and shows based on their viewing habits and what\u2019s trending.<\/li>\n
  • Discovering content is both simple and powerful with PlayStation\u2122Vue. The smart \u201cSearch\u201d feature narrows down results quickly and intuitively, and the powerful \u201cExplore\u201d function allows viewers to filter the entire catalog of live and on-demand content by type of program, genre, ratings, popularity, length and more.<\/li>\n
  • PlayStation\u2122Vue delivers catch-up TV and on-demand TV, freeing viewers to watch TV on their own schedules. The service makes the past three days of popular programming available without the need to schedule recordings.<\/li>\n
  • Viewers can save their favorite shows to the cloud without storage restrictions or scheduling conflicts. Once viewers tag a favorite show, they will automatically have access to episodes of that show for 28 days so that they can watch on their own time.<\/li>\n
  • PlayStation\u2122Vue is simple to navigate and intuitive to use. By leveraging the power of the PlayStation\u00ae platform and controller, viewers are always one click away from quick access to watching, finding, and discovering content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
