For those of you that aren't too familiar with them just kind of solve few commercials sling TV is an over-the-top television service that allows you to livestream through your internet.
Many popular cable channels such as CNN ESPN TBS channels that you would normally need a cable subscription for but in this case you don't so within the year and a half that I've had sling TV.
I've used it on pretty much every device imaginable including Google chromecast, Amazon fire stick, Apple TV and Roku.
I've also used it on Smart TVs my phone no matter what device I use it's been very reliable with streaming even with internet speeds as slow as 10 megabits per second.
that being said I do recommend at least 25 megabits per second as an internet speed for a reliable experience but I have had people as slow as 10 that haven't had any problems with it, but then again they have a very good ISP that supplies them and doesn't really drop out if you have dsl.
I would not recommend sling TV setting up sling TV is very easy all you have to do is go on their website and decide what channel package you want and sign up.
after that you simply download the sling TV app on whatever device you have whether it be an Amazon fire stick, Roku or Smart TV and sign in to your account
sling orange has more sports based channels and sling Blue has more entertainment based channels and also includes Fox and NBC in select markets.
sling Orange only allows one streaming device at a time while sling Blu allows up to three streaming devices at a time.
the three streams can save you even more money if you decide to split the cost between family members. maybe you only have one TV set in your household but you have a sister that wants to cut the cord as well, you give them the login information they'll be able to stream sling TV at the same time as you on their devices and you guys can just split the bill.
there are also several a la carte options including cloud DVR, a bunch of kids channels, sports channels, a whole bunch of stuff that you can choose from.
the add-on to the base package now some of you may be sitting there thinking "why don't they have ABC and CBS" I need that noir to cut the cord I'm not interested in if they don't have those channels well did you know that there's a magic device that can bring you those channels for free it's called an antenna
I'm sure most of you know that but the reason why sling doesn't have those channels is probably because they were asking for too much money to be on the sling platform and if sling TV added ABC CBS and the other channels people are complaining that they don't have the cost would go from twenty-five dollars to forty or fifty dollars a month just like YouTube TV
so I'm very satisfied with the channel lineup that they have right now and if you want local channels as I said get an antenna so enough of me stating the obvious I'm gonna show you sling TV and some of its awesome features right now so this is a home screen for sling TV and I typically don't use this that much because it's mainly just things that are recommended to me as opposed to what's actually on right now
if you go up to the right where it says on now that'll give you a thumbnail of some shows that are currently on at this moment but the thing I like to use is the guides so if you scroll over to that that brings you to a more familiar layout very similar to something that you would see on a cable box and you can scroll down to the channels see what's on currently and what's on
the future time when you find something that you want to watch you simply click on it and it gives you two options you could either watch it live or start over and this is really cool because let's say for example it's 3:15 and you want to watch the beginning of Steve Harvey you just hit start over and it will start at the beginning of the show since there's about a 30-second delay from the actual live Channel
when you hit start over sometimes you will see commercials in this case it's just kind of a Philadelphia promotion but then it will lead into the very beginning of the show
as you can see the picture quality is beautiful and looks exactly like something you would see on cable or satellite you can also add the current program to your DVR and if you click on series it will show you some upcoming episodes of it
