Cloud storage

According to TechHive writer Jared Newman, it's not a problem if your favorite shows air simultaneously because instead of a traditional digital video recorder, "PlayStation Vue stores shows in the cloud, so they're available on all devices without scheduling conflicts. And unlike cable, there are no hidden fees, equipment rental costs, or installation charges."^[6]
