Sling TV

• Sling TV

Cord-cutters don’t want to pay for more TV than they need, and in an ideal world, subscribers would only pay for the channels and topics they want to watch. No well-known streaming service has fully embraced an a la carte model. Nonetheless, Sling TV, which primarily provides live content with some video-on-demand options, has come close, with topical add-ons available to supplement base packages. This adaptability makes the service appealing to many cord-cutters. Sling TV bills itself as “a la carte” streaming, with customizable subscription options and low-cost base packages that can be supplemented with add-ons. It ranks third in the rankings of the Best Live-TV Streaming Services of 2023 and tied for third in the rankings of the Best Sport Streaming Services of 2023. Sling Blue and Sling Orange are the two primary base packages offered by this streaming service. Blue and Orange plans begin at $35 per month, with a Blue + Orange bundle starting at $50 per month. Each base package has its specialization, so you can choose whether you want to watch news and entertainment or sports and family programming. For an additional fee, you can add features such as an expanded DVR or extra channel packages such as the Sports Extra or Lifestyle Extra. Sling TV’s user interface differs from what you might expect from live TV, with a tile system that resembles an on-demand streaming service in some ways. However, if you’re a seasoned streamer, this makes it simple to find your favorite content, and even if you’re new to the world of cord-cutting, you’ll probably adjust to its distinct appearance quickly. Professional reviewers note that if you have a strong internet connection, Sling’s streaming experience is smooth, and its picture quality is surprisingly good for over-the-top TV. Sling TV is an excellent choice if you want to pay a low price for popular live channels, with customizable add-ons available if you’re willing to pay a premium. Though it won’t completely replace your cable subscription, with fewer channels than most competing live TV streaming services, it’s a solid option for getting some great content on a tight budget. Sling TV has two fundamental packages: Sling Blue and Sling Orange. Both start at $35 per month, which is significantly less than competing live TV services, though you will have a much smaller channel selection. The two base packages have different channel lineups as well as some minor differences in features. Sling Blue, which starts at $35 per month, includes 45+ channels and up to three simultaneous streams, with news and entertainment channels. Sling Orange, which has more than 30 channels, is better for sports and family content. It also starts at $35 per month, but you can only stream on one device at a time. The combined Sling Blue + Orange package costs $50 per month, so you can save money by bundling. Other channels, such as Showtime and Epix, are available for a fee, as are extras such as comedy and lifestyle packages. Sling does not provide a free trial of its paid subscription options, but it does offer Sling Free, which allows users to access live and on-demand content. Sling Free, on the other hand, has fewer options than paid subscriptions. If you’re on a budget, Sling Free is a good way to access free content with no term limits, and you can always upgrade to a paid version if you find yourself wanting more. Sling TV’s two base packages have different channel lineups. Sling Blue has 45+ channels with a focus on news and entertainment, such as MSNBC and NFL Network, whereas Sling Orange has 30+ channels with a focus on sports and family-friendly content, such as Food Network and Cartoon Network. Both of these packages have fewer channels than most other live TV services, but you can add additional channels for a fee. Both of Sling’s base packages include free channels such as ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Sling’s Bonus Locals Bundle, which includes an HD antenna and AirTV 2, is also available for $49. Sling TV provides a fairly comprehensive sports lineup, with professional and college sports available through the service, as well as access to ESPN and other sports-centric networks. However, it does not include NFL Network, so if you want to watch as much football as possible, you should look into fuboTV instead. Most devices, including smart TVs, gaming consoles, computers, and mobile devices, are compatible with Sling TV. Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku are among the streaming devices that work with the Sling TV app. All of these devices require an internet connection via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, as well as the Sling TV app. Sling also occasionally offers promotions in which users can prepay for Sling TV and receive a free AirTV, Sling’s brand of streaming devices. Older Apple and Roku products from 2013 and earlier no longer support Sling TV (Apple) or receive updates (Roku). You can watch Sling TV on multiple devices at the same time, depending on the package you choose. Sling Orange only supports one stream at a time, whereas Sling Blue allows you to watch up to three streams at once, which means you won’t have to fight over the remote if your kids want to watch Nick Jr. during the big game. If you purchase the combined Orange + Blue package, you will receive simultaneous streams from both individual packages, giving you up to four streams to work with, depending on the channel. Three streams are included in the Sling International and Sling Latino packages, as well as any channels added to the international base service.
