    Tried this on a free trail and was impressed for the amount they want to charge. I’ve found others that r better and have all the local channels I need

    Direct tv now is much better and includes a free apple 4k tv (I think promotion is still active) Also the buffering is very annoying

    The stations offered were not to my liking. To upgrade to get what I wanted became costly. Canceled after free trial. Not for mem

    Cheap streaming option...but I guess you get what you pay for. Not horrible, but could use a little more work to be decent.

    Service is okay, but YouTube TV is easier to navigate. Too difficult to get local channels, so we dropped the service.

    For the same price at Hulu, I get Movie and backlogs of tons of extras. Also no Fox News was a deal killer!

    The reason of buying the fire stick was to get out of monthly premiums. I’ll stick with my Netflix.

    it worked for about 12 days then they shut it off and they did it by blocking my ip address i was unable to log in the site or the steaming service. they are a bunch of crooks who shut the service early even if you pay full price. left me no choice but to open credit card dispute. customer service refused to turn it back on saying they did not turn it off.

    I do not like Sling what-so-ever it really is not worth your time nor your money. If you are looking for good TV type IPTV services go to Hulu heck Netflix is even better than Sling. Like I said Sling it right out the window it's literally a piece of poopie. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE!!!!

    I’ve used sling in the past, and it never impressed me. Very limited channels and choppy video.

    I’m still trying to figure out if this was included with a 30 day “free” period included with purchase? If so I’ve tried to figure out how to redeem it because it’s not showing up in my digital downloads. OR is it just notifying me it’s there like “hey sling is an option however it’s only a 7day free trial” I only have 1star because this is very unclear.

    This really isn’t that useful for me personally. Maybe because I have cable already.
