The Cue Streaming Live TV Programming User Interface is very reminiscent of old school Digital Cable.
Because
there are SO MANY channels, it is recommended that you build a FAVORITES list
to allow you to see the channels you most often want to watch. However, Cue Streaming has the following
LISTS available to allow you to quickly browse by Category. Beside each list, I have noted how many
channels are in that list as of this writing:
All Channels - 1772
Entertainment – 160
News – 37
Kids and Family - 23
Movie Channels - 68
Music Choices - 31
Sports Channels - 123
Bally Sports - 25
Pay Per View Live Sport Events - 13
ABC Local Networks - 209
CBS Local Networks - 208
FOX Local Networks - 209
NBC Local Network - 209
Entertainment Latino - 21
MLB - 91
NFL - 51
NBA - 180
NHL - 91
Soccer - 30

Insights regarding Cue Streaming Live Programming:
· Closed Captioning can be turned on
and off in a couple of clicks.
· You can use the NAVIGATION wheel to
scroll right to see the planned programming for about the next three days.
· You can set reminders of a show that
is coming on that you want to get a pop-up alert about. There are settings you can customize as to
how long the reminder is displayed. You

Recording:
If you are watching something and have to leave, you can record the remainder of
the show with a couple of clicks.
You
can schedule recordings that appear in your guide grid. You
can set scheduled recordings that span many shows.
Recording
does require adding storage to your Firestick and setting it up to record to
the auxiliary storage location.
