What is Sling TV?
If you’re unfamiliar with Sling, it is the first app-based TV service that gives you the flexibility to stream live television and on-demand content. It’s super convenient to start using right away as their app is supported by the most popular brands of smart TVs and streaming devices including Fire TV, iOS or Android devices, ROKU, Chromecast, XBOX, and more.
Even better, each paid Sling TV package includes 50 hours of cloud-based DVR storage, so you never have to worry about missing your favorite live TV shows. If that’s not enough, you can always update to DVR Plus and get 200 hours for just $5 extra per month. Be sure to watch for a pop-up to score a month of DVR plus for FREE when you sign up today!
You can also easily purchase extra channels and premium add-ons to fully customize your monthly Sling TV subscription to meet your family’s ever-changing entertainment needs. Plus, a couple of their packages allow you to stream on multiple devices at the same time.

Check out what a couple of our team members had to say about Sling TV…
After our YouTube TV bill went up another $10 to over $80/month I went looking for something else and found a deal on SlingTV. I like the extra channels I get that I did not get with YouTube TV – like extra onlineedy stations, and you can also pick packages like pay a little more for scary channels or multiple AMC channels, etc. The only thing I don’t love is that DVR only holds up to 50 hours, whereas YouTube holds as much as you’d like. BUT since it’s $30 cheaper a month than YouTube TV I’ll live with that! – Hip Sidekick, Jessica
My boyfriend has Sling and another cool perk I love is the on-demand options. I canceled my Discovery Plus membership but I can watch all my favorite true crime shows via Sling on demand! – Hip Sidekick, Monica
