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.

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

I don't have cable, but still wanted to be able to view local news stations. From where I am at, I can pick up about 20+ channels. Most I don't watch, but its great if you want to watch local networks, kids programming, shopping channels and a few others. The HD networks are HD even with the Antenna.

I’m working on cutting cable out of my life. This was the first step and it turned out to be a good one. This antenna lives up to the manufacturers claim. Excellent reception, easy to hook up, nice looking product. I’m very happy with it.

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.

This SlingTV trial was very helpful in finding out how well the service would work for me. I live in the country with a slow internet connection, I was able to see how well it would work with this extended trial. SlingTV is excellent, my internet speed is not.

Sling TV - Good Product

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.

I havent had a 4K TV before and am blown away by the picture. I dont have much to compare it to but it’s like you are in the room with real people. Sometimes its a little freaky but awesome

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.

I guess its really not all that bad but think there are way better services. If you just want something cheap this will probably work fine for you and simple to use

Sling offers a lot of programs and movies and has an easy setup and use. The drawback of this fee item is you must use your credit card even to get free time.

Great Service, needs a few more package options

Sling overall is a great service. Much better than DirecTv Now (since they upgraded and it constantly buffers and they keep adding services and charging more without letting the added services be an option). I don't recall much buffering if any at all when I used the service for a couple months. They only offer 3 packages (Sling Orange, Sling Blue, or both). For the few channels offered that I actually watch on a consistent basis, it just was not worth the price to pay for both packages or even a single package and still not get a few of the channels I watch.

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

SlingTV Trial Service

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
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.

Terrific addon benefit to another purchase - made me purchase SLING as a regular subscription. Thanks for the trial!
