Sling is great for sports

We got Sling for college and pro football including the NFL Red Zone. For sports, it is really great. You can switch between the blue and orange versions depending on what you want to watch. Away from sports, Sling is very similar to basic cable with lots of channels but not that much to watch. The DVR worked well but I did not like the fast forward/rewind functions as much as some other services. We discontinued the service after football was over and will likely get it again this fall. The cost isn't bad, again, when sports are on but during the off-seasons, it really wasn't worth it for us.

This item is good, but unfortunately I have satellite internet and can't use it. It zaps my allowance and slows my internet connection with my computer. I also have Dish and can't even hook up the internet with it, does the same thing. Living in the country has it's pluses, but also have issues with getting decent services.

A friend of mine had sling when we lived in Germany. She was able to watch tv from her parents sling box in the U.S. the only issue I ever had with sling was that if the other person was watching it, you couldn’t. But I guess that’s only if you are sharing.

Great alternative for getting rid of cable/satellite service. Good channel lineup. Since it works through your internet though don’t leave on all the time unless you’re internet service is unlimited because you will go over your data

Sling is a very easy to use service for video services over the internet. Bundled with Starz, it's nice to watch some of my favorite recent films at the press of a button.

Sling is the live TV for less. I was able to Customize my channel lineup and watch TV online. Also setup was easy and there is no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

It was free with a gift card purchase, but I never used it. It was a discount that I was not going to use. Nice thought though.

Good streaming service if you are looking to cut the cord. Free two months was a great incentive used to try the service out.

Sling is okay but is the cheapest around for a basic cable streaming clone. Try it out. Why not??

Not bad but if you have a firestick/smart tv, netflix, prime video, and disney plus you are pretty much covered.
