    Not really a Slinger...

    I guess the Slinger app is ok if you don't have a few of the other big guns. But I don't like that they don't have a few of my local channels that I watch and they pretty much use that same custom choice format like FIOS does now...

    I was unable to take advantage of the 14 day trial period. I only got 7 days by registering directly thru the Sling website. 14 days gives you plenty of time to test the service to ensure you like it prior to cutting the cord.

    Just trying, my Samsung is not setup for CC on recorded programs over CBS paid watching and I plan on removing it as soon as I find a program that can give me closed caption without me having to buy a newer TV

    Sling TV, I tested this product and it worked as stated. Seemed a little on the slow side when requesting a channel, some buffering issues at times but overall is a 3.0 - price after promo was a bit much for me.

    Obviously this is the free trial but overall it is decent. I don't think I would sign up for this service once my trial is done but if this is in line with your tv viewing habits then it would be good for you.

    My cable bill was getting too high so I selected to purchase this product. This is a great solution to offset cable and this product has mostly all the programming I view. Great alternative to cable!!!!

    Sling TV has been great! We were spending entirely too much for cable, so we switched to Sling. We get all the channels we actually watch, at a 1/3 of the cost, without a contract. Highly recommend!

    I was excited to try Sling but was disappointed when I did. There aren't a lot of channel options once you actually set up and start using. Not worth the monthly cost for what you get in my opinion.

    Cutting the Cable

    Sling is awesome! No more cables and no more cable companies. I have Sling Blue+Orange + Lifestyle + Hollywood + 50 hrs. of Cloud DVR for less than $60 per month. Great deal plus I can watch on my phone, too.

    With the hassle free of 14 days trial, if you don't like it. cancel it at anytime! Good service for on demand shows and movies, user friendly and can select channels that you want to subscribe to!

    I had Sling tv for a while. It’s an okay streaming service but there’s a lot more streaming services you can subscribe to and get more channels for the same price or cheaper than paying for Sling tv

    There are a lot of streaming options out there. I wanted to try the Sling to compare it against other options. I found it to be good, but it lacked the content and intuitiveness of other devices.

    Sling is OK...lots of glitches in the service; signal drops, cut outs leading to re-boots, freezes in the transmission...etc...price point is acceptable...lucky for me that I don’t watch much TV.

    I was happy with the intro offer and we are happy with the service, prices and offerings however we did not keep it as the prices savings was not enough to switch from out present carrier.

    Received this promotion free with my Apple TV purchase -- free 14 day trial. I played with it for the first couple of days but it wasn't all that useful having had all of the streaming services already.

    We enjoyed the trial period. Offers some on-demand style choices for a few channels. Not so much an alternative to cable-cutting if money is a consideration. Nice trial though, which came with Apple TV

    Getting a free trial with the purchase of a Firestick was great. It allowed me to compare different streaming services (Sling, DirecTV Now, Fubo, etc.) for live TV. A nice bonus from Amazon. Thanks.

    I wish I knew about this app sooner. I switched from cable to Sling and I get the same channels that I had on cable at a lesser cost. No hidden fees. I pay the same amount each month.

    I should have made this drastic change years ago I didn't think I could do without my DirecTV but after paying $150 a month I am now down to $40 a month with many channels that I enjoy

    I have had Sling nTV now for a couple years and it is by the far the best out there for the price. Sure you can get a couple more channels at other places but for at least $20 more
