Customer Ratings & Reviews

no assembly required just hook it up to tv slim , light & sleak design

I gave SlingTV trial for a few weeks. The service had many different options to choose which best fit your interest, even international channels as well. However, there are some downsides. The UI that you interact with is cumbersome, not so smooth and interactive. The international options such as Mandarin/Cantonese were of low quality. There was good selection but the quality wasn't clear as the domestic channels. if you were interested in domestic channels, it's a good choice.

Love the growing number of choices for TV providers nowadays. SlingTV has become the service I prefer the most. They offer many of the most popular channels - but what sets them apart for me is the fact they offer a lot of the 'less-glamorous' channels that, to me, have some of the most interesting programming available. Sling has a very nice user-interface which they continue to upgrade and improve on a continuous basis. There's a nice blend of live and on-demand programming - and - the picture quality on my receivers is excellent. I experience virtually no buffering problems - and I love the fact Sling allows you to choose the quality of picture you wish to receive. For those of us who have ISP's who strangle us with caps, it's nice that we can adjust how much data we consume. Even choosing a 'lower-quality' bitrate from Sling, I receive an excellent picture quality. I'm always keeping my eyes out on all the new services and what they have to offer - but for now, SlingTV is best for me.

When I tried Sling TV, I also had a free trial for DirecTVNow. Between the 2 interfaces and channel offering I greatly prefer the DirecTVNow. The interface on Sling is Dark, bulky, and the only way to change the channel is to leave what you are currently watching. With the DirecTVNow I was presented a semi-transparent layover for the guide menu. It was also nice because I could channel surf by using the arrows on the roku remote (without having to view the guide). This feature by itself is enough to make me prefer the other. For the price and the quantity and quality of channels that you receive, Sling TV CAN'T be beat. Don't get me wrong, Sling is a great service and more than worth the amount they charge for it, but I would be willing to pay a little bit more if they cleaned up their UI a bit and made it easier to go through the guide.

the set up of the set was easy, with onscreen menus that quickly direct you to how to set it up. When combined with the antenna that I bought on the same day, I've gotten great reception and adequate number of channels to enjoy.

I did not stick with Sling for a few major reasons: 1. No DVR 2. Lack of some local networks 3. Commercials and ads (can't skip) The good points include the ability to somewhat pick a reasonably priced sports package but you still get all the S#$% channels as you must pick from a blue or orange plan. Not the a la cart advertised. The GUI is a pain and needs to be cleaned up but if you are used to the mess of Amazon Prime then you will be fine with Sling's GUI as info is scattered everywhere with no particular easy way to do anything or pick up on previously viewed shows/series and continue if you left in the middle of a show. Hopefully soon one of these devices with include a true a la cart, dvr and local channels. Seems so simple but no one is doing it other then the sat/cable companies but the whole point here is to cut the cord. To get to my goal of cord cutting I would need to buy a OTA antenna, TIVO and mini Tivo, but then I am back where I started with Direct TV as Tivo requires a subscription again.

When I decided to cut the cable cord, I bought an indoor antenna and a Roku streaming device and began my subscription to Sling. To be fair, I am going through cable TV withdrawal - I have had cable since the early 80s - and life after cable has been an adjustment. However, Sling does an admirable job with connecting me to the TV stations that I used to watch and offers a very clear picture. The cost is good, I get a lot of channels I like, and it is easy to use. It just takes some getting accustomed to the new setup. Bottom line - cable TV is easier and offers more options but costs A LOT; Sling is much less expensive and offers a lot of the cable channels I watch. All in all, Sling was the right choice for me at this point in my life.

it is not a great product but it is a good product. you can get most channels the cheaper ones have. however you get better reception. if you want better then get a better product. as you get what you pay for.

I am happy with Sling. Would like to have access to ESPNU though. Sometimes the DVR won't delete a recording. No problems with the picture or speed of loading. Also some sports can not be recorded.

Got the 14 day trial to Sling when I was cutting the cord while buying an over the air antenna. Sling has a good mix of channels and there weren't any issues with the streaming. If you're a sports fan, there's plenty here to keep you going. There's also a good mix of other channels. I didn't keep it because I want a true a la carte experience where I choose only the channels I'm interested in. Otherwise it was fine.

If you want to cut the cord and find a service that lets you pick the channels you want and dump the ones you don’t, then SlingTV is the way to go. Easy to set up and easy to use.

I used a free trial of Sling TV and I loved it. The streaming was smooth, had a great selection of channels, and was easy to use. Only issue was that I cut the cable cord 7 plus years ago and I don't care to pay for any cable channels no matter what company it is through. I am happy with Netflix and few other streaming services. However, if you are looking to cut the cord to save money and still want some cable channels then Sling is the way to go.

No problems or issues. Service and channels as described. Why would anyone keep cable with so many other good options like sling out there.

We got the indoor antenna for a guest bedroom. We are not tech savvy but we were able to set it up in minutes. We can see loads of channels.

I enjoyed Sling which was free for 14 days with the purchase of our 4K TV. Easy to order online and start streaming 40 channels. We paid $40 the 1st month and sinc we didn’t watch it as much after we installed an indoor antenna we decreased it to $25/mo.. We kept it 3 months and stopped our subscription since we watched Netflix and streamed 10 channels of our choice from Spectrum (cheaper). Sling is easy to use and stop service.

Picture is good. Sound is good. Very little buffering if any. Needs an easy to use Electronic Program Guide. Also, a little Pricey.

When Sling TV came out, I jumped on the opportunity to get rid of my $200+ satellite bill and I was a loyal customer for a long time... until DirecTV Now came out. To me DirecTV Now has a clearer picture and a more user-friendly layout. The big advantage that Sling TV has over DirecTV Now is Cloud DVR (coming soon to DirecTV Now) and the numerous foreign language packages (fairly pricey though). If you don't care as much about either of these two things, I think DirecTV Now is a better option overall. Sling TV is a solid service though

This was a decent streaming service when we used it. We got a 30 day plan when we bought an Amazon Fire TV. Unfortunately we canceled this plan because of the fact that our cable bills were in excess and we just didn't need to add more but I would highly recommend this for someone who doesn't have a bunch of streaming services that they currently paid for even though this other free TV services out there this one is good for what you pay for.

Had the Sling free trial related to a 65 inch TCL TV purchase. Connect the TV, signed up for Sling, used it to test the functionality of the web enabled TV. Web worked fine, but the TV was defective from a sound perspective. By the time they had the replacement TV in stock, the trial had expired. I did sign up for additional Sling service, and it works well on the new TV. Easy to subscribe/unsubscribe for 2nd home purposes, like mine.

I have received the 2 week trial for purchasing an Apple 4k tv and just started using it. The picture quality is pretty good but noticed it has almost a minute delay from my current Comcast signal as I am testing out prior to cutting the cord. Seems like a possible option if you don't mind streaming, want to save money and can deal with the loading of channels (but really not that annoying). Will be trying other streaming options as well!
