PlayStation Vue problems

PlayStation Vue is a cool TV service that allows its users to watch movies, live TV and sports until their hearts are content as a an Internet streaming service. But from time-to-time its service does have issues when streaming, movies etc shutting down for no apparent reason and not being able to access the service full stop due to servers not working properly.

Right there on your PlayStation 3 and 4 is a better TV experience and when working in the right manner it is a very good service indeed. But customers have come forward to complain on social media networks, but now we here at Is Down Right Now USA would like for you to use this as your main PlayStation Vue community page when you have problems.

Are you having PlayStation Vue problems? If the answer is yes please do share with the community and us, please do remember to add your location and what console you are using.

  • Gina B

    Yes, I’m having problems too in Indiana. Using Fire TV and Fire Stick, 4 TV’s, same error message claiming I’m in a differnt location. I HAVE NOT MOVED! Apparently internet providers change IP addresses each time they update their systems and it causes problems This is not good.

  • Shayla Lemna

    PS Vue starts with putting in zip code after I push Ok then shows a black screen!! Push back ext and still nothing!! PS4 Michigan

  • QuestionsEverything

    PS Vue is currently not showing anything except Search and Profile. None of the Channels, My Shows or Recent are shown. This is on Roku Stick (2016).

  • Alias1333

    Ps vue is nothing but junk. I started a free trial last night and I have already called them like 5 times with problems. The problem was it kept saying it was picking up a zip code in Raleigh Durham NCbut I only live less than twenty miles from Charlotte NC. So I called them and told them the area code I live in and still would not after countless times register my service in Charlotte. I tried to change the zip on my ps4 and my actual home computer. It would not take. I don’t blame the people who answer the phone but apparently Sony has not trained anybody properly. They were all very nice just not very knowledgeable about what to do with any problems. They seemed to struggle with my concerns. So thank good this happened during my free trial. I cancelled my service and removed credit card info. I’m gonna try Sling Tv if that still does not work I will just get cable in my area. Appreciate this site letting me vent.

  • Beth

    What causes the system failed error code. Vue has been down since last night. Nothing is getting it running again. I have tried all the normal things.

  • Rob

    None of the channels or the guide will load currently, restarted the Roku and that didn’t work, moved to the Apple TV and the last channel I had open will play but none of the channels will open and the guide will not load. All other services are working correctly.

  • won’t even log into the service at all on my ps4 since Sunday morning…..I’m in Jacksonville FL

  • I’ve had Vue for about 3 months and when it works properly it’s a good service but this is my first time that its been down in my area, it’s been off about two days, luckily I have sling and Netflix as backups….this sucks

  • felicia kobernik

    Watching a dvr harry potter and the deathly hallows part 2. Watched 1/4 of the movie then says “um-ba4z” error code. Everything else works on vue. Ohio ps4

  • Peter Ian Staker

    Trying to login via PS4, won’t work. Keep getting error that says it’s not available and to try again later.

  • James Starr

    Can’t getting playstion vue programing to work. Get error saying not available (2 days now). No customer service available to help with issue. Paying for service that doesn’t work, what is Playstion vue doing for there customers that are paying for service that they are not receiving?

  • Bernard Shenkman

    Noticed I got an email from Playstation stating that my Vue acct was canceled due to non payment….email was dated for today….SUNDAY the 5th of Feb! Now thats a little strange, as my bank does NOT do business on Sunday….but just to make sure I checked my acct. Sure enough, there was NO attempt on the part of Playstation to collect their subscription payment. My payments are usually taken from my bank acct on the 6th of the month. Now I find that I simply cannot log onto my Playstation vue….getting messages like,”check connection….no Internet connection available” ….problem is that I have a wonderful connection to the internet and my Fire stick is accessing all the other apps! Now I am beginning to wonder if this “Cancellation due to failure to make payment” BOGUS email was received by anybody else…..can there a nefarious connection?????

  • Tava bowman

  • Dewey

    Constantly buffering

  • Tony Waugh

    Useless! Buffering is constant. Switched to online stream on iPad and it is perfect. Can’t understand why this is such a problem. Bad deal sony.

  • Gray JM

    The app on my phone continues to tell me to select another show/video to vue. Works fine on the console. This started happening Friday June 9th, 2017. Nothing wrong with my phone or Google cast. Uninstalled and re-installed the app. Signed in and out, cleared cache. Tech supports doesn’t know. Anyone?

  • Mike

    I have no idea what is happening but timing out all the time seems to be my current issue with PLayStation Vue.

  • Mike

    The general loading screen keeps freezing on me, i switch on then off and then back on again and the issue keeps happening.

  • DaveM

    Down in Omaha now………. Just billed me and now nothing to watch.

  • Darth Kaltavius

  • Greg Hull

    Was kicked out of Vue to Amazon home screen around 6:00 pm in Bakersfield on Monday. Using Amazon Fire TV 3rd generation. Also had a couple of freezes on two channels prior to the kick out.

  • Jack Nelson

  • Pete Corsi

  • QuietStormX

    Yeah down online.. On PC!

  • QuietStormX

    D.C Metro area…… ;-(

  • Susan Webb Bailey

    For the past couple of weeks, it is down more than it is up. Stops like it is buffering, both in DVR and live modes. Sometimes locks up completely and will not go past a certain point. Then eventually just goes back to the blue playstation screen and you have to start all over. When it does this, there is no getting out of it. I just switch to Netflix. Last night it would NOT play Madam Secretary. I switched to the app on my phone and watched the entire show without a hitch. Is it the Fire Box? I’m thinking of switching to another service.

  • Lynette

    am so sick and tired of the constant need to “activate” my account and be able to watch! No problem with them taking out the money each month, I don’t make them jump through to get paid. Now, you have to pick which pictures have a bicycle in them, or a car, and by the time you frikking do that, your activation is worthless. I am about ready to throw in the towel on this!………………

  • Keyser Söze

    I just cut the cord last week. Already having problems with Vue. Besides weather, never had a problem with cable. I can’t even use ESPN or NBC apps because I don’t have a sub with them (which I do with the Vue Core package). I’m missing playoff hockey and basketball tonight. Not a very good first impression Sony.

  • Jennifer Perryman

    Psvue is down on my ps4 and on my phone. It even signed me out on my ps4. I’m in Lexington NC

  • Sony Playstation Vue down right now in Santa Fe, NM… Also signed out of iOS. Was watching Man U vs Liddypool on TV when it dropped dead, not even allowed signing back in. Finished watching match on ESPN app via tvOS.

  • Tom

    Using Firestick and PSVue… constant daily buffering. Only when streaming PS Vue. Hulu and Netflix work fine. More annoying lately especially with price increase

  • Patrick D Ryan

    I am using Firestick and vue. Last week, I had a problem with getting CNBC. I talked with support (Playstation) and I was instructed to flush the data and cache. That worked fine. But, now I find that I need to do this on a frequent basis. I am using a 2nd generation Firestick. I have another set that has a 3rd generation, that has not had this problem (…yet).

    I have only had the problem with CNBC.

  • Brenda

    I use fire tv box that’s a little older started buffering so bad you can watch I’m about ready to cancel PlayStation and pitch the box out the window anyone else having trouble

  • Cobra

    Playstation Vue is down in Las Vegas .

  • David Francis
