The whole concept of live TV, without a DVR, makes very little sense to me in 2015. Even if the Sling TV product is flawless, it still might not make sense for everyone for the reason that it’s live TV. A few of Sling TV’s channels offer DVR-like pause and play functions, but there isn’t any way to record a show or time-shift it (at least yet, it may come in the future). It took a lot of explaining and I had to use phrases like, “We can’t watch whatever we want, we have to watch whatever the channel shows us.” Days later he was still asking whether we had that specific episode on the new “TV thing.”ĭescribing broadcast TV to a four year old who had never experienced it before was eye opening. Later that day he was asking about watching that specific episode again. My four year old son watched part of a Mickey’s Clubhouse show and was hooked. Even for me - someone bent on giving cable companies as little money as possible - it feels like a peace-offering to customers saying that it will compete with a good product rather than legal loopholes.Īs much as I wanted to love Sling TV from the first moments, I realized one of its main problems pretty quickly.Īfter I had logged into Sling TV for the first time, I turned it to the Disney Channel. One of the most intriguing aspects is the non-lock-in pricing model. If you want a few more news, kid, or sports specific options you can add on additional channel packages for $5 more per month. For $20 (with no monthly commitment) you receive ESPN, ESPN 2, Disney Channel, TBS, TNT, HGTV, Cartoon Network, AMC, CNN, Travel Channel, and a few others. Sling TV is a cable TV service born of the Internet where all channels come over the same line as all other webpages.
