So obviously you've got to own one of these to subscribe to Vue. As you might gather based on the name, the service also only works for those who stream TV through a PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 console. Unfortunately, for the time being, PlayStation Vue is only available in Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. It costs $50 per month, and like Sling TV, new subscribers can try it out for free for seven days. The base PlayStation Vue package, on the other hand, has 60 channels, including TBS, TNT, truTV, and CBS (but not ABC or ESPN). The basic Sling TV package also includes ESPN (great for catching game highlights), but it lacks truTV, which is the other Turner-owned pay TV channel broadcasting some March Madness games. We spelled out the basics of the former in a previous post, highlighting that the service comes with TBS and TNT and costs $20 per month, though it's available for free for seven days-enough to view a ton of tournament games. Well, for basketball-loving cord cutters, right now is an opportune time to snag a free trial of one or both of the newest streaming services, Dish's Sling TV and Sony's PlayStation Vue.

But CBS is only broadcasting some of the action. Hampton, and on Friday there's Kansas vs. The games airing on CBS on Thursday include Texas vs. Once you download the March Madness Live app, you'll be able to live stream the games being broadcast on CBS at no charge, and without needing proof that you're a pay TV customer. If you don't have such an antenna-heck, even if you don't have a TV-don't fret. What's a cord cutter to do?įirst off, many of the games are airing on CBS, and anyone can watch CBS and other broadcast networks for free on TV with an HD antenna, which costs as little as $30. Unfortunately, the majority of the games are being broadcast on channels that are traditionally available only in pay TV subscription packages. The NCAA March Madness early round play-in games are over, and the tournament proper tips off around the country on Thursday afternoon.
