Simply put, Sling is a budget friendly, easier way to watch TV. It’s live shows, live sports, live news and video on-demand that you can watch online using a supported streaming device that’s connected to the internet. That includes your smart TV as well as your smartphone, laptop, and other streaming devices.
If you’re used to watching TV with a cable or satellite subscription, you’ll find that the switch to Sling is easier than you might think. Sling offers you tons of top channels like ESPN, HGTV and CNN so you don’t have to worry about missing out. From there, you can customize your service to include more of the channels you love without having to pay for the channels you never watch.
In today’s world of streaming services, Sling is the perfect live TV solution to bundle together with your on-demand streaming services so you can get all of the content you crave without dishing out hundreds of dollars a month.
Streaming live TV online offers the same experience as watching from a cable box or satellite. What makes Sling different, though, is that you don’t have to be tied to the equipment set up in your house. Your Sling service follows you anywhere you take the Sling app – from your smart TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick to your iPhone or Android smartphone and more.
Sling combines the same guide view style that you’re used to seeing from your TV provider with the ribbon-style views offered by your other streaming services. This makes it easy to find the shows that you’re looking for, and then find them again later by adding them to your My TV tab.
If you aren’t able to watch shows live when they air, you can use Cloud DVR to record the shows you want and guarantee that they’ll be available when you’re ready. All Sling users get 10 hours of DVR for free, and can upgrade to get 50 hours with Cloud DVR Plus. Sling also has a huge library of on-demand titles that lets you watch on your own time.
At Sling, our main goal is to give you the most control possible over what channels you pay for and how you watch while also saving you money. Start by picking between Sling Orange and Sling Blue, which have slightly different channel lineups. You can even choose to sign up for Sling Orange + Sling Blue and watch all of the base channels at a discounted rate. Sling is also the only service that doesn’t make you pay for your local channels in most markets - learn more about how to watch local channels for free.
