Sony Vue and iPad

I logged into the VUE website and successfully set up an account on my Mac. I downloaded the Vue app in my iPhone and am successfully casting to my Chromecast. I then downloaded the Vue mobile to my wife's iPad, and tried to log in. It tells me there is a problem and to call customer service. I call customer service, and they have no idea what is wrong. They tell me to delete and re-download the app, which I do several times. No joy.

What's wrong?

My wife needs to be able to watch vue on the TV when I'm gone. Will she be able to do that with the amazon fire stick with remote without any other device? I have one ordered but it hasn't come in yet.

Will Vue work with my spare iPhone 4?

I'm hoping this thing will save me $700 a year in cable fees.
  • My old 4 works. I had to update the OS. I can leave it on the coffee table as a remote.
  • You can have 5 streams. You'll need to have the device on your home wifi to get it working the first time IIRC. So make sure the IP's match otherwise you can have issues. The service is designed to prevent account sharing via the vue app although you can login to provider apps just fine.

    The service will work off your home network for most things but the DVR. You do have to set it up on your home network first though IIRC>
  • Can't answer about the iPhone 4, but the Firestick is supported by Vue. The FireTV is more powerful though - you might find the Firestick to be a little sluggish.
