You may like your cable TV, but don’t want to pay a premium to access all of the channels, half of which you don’t ever watch. Also, you don’t want to commit to year- or two-year-long contract.
Enter Sling TV, a television service that offers access to live TV stations. In the United States, Sling users can stream ESPN, ESPN2, HGTV, AMC, and more than a dozen other stations for only $20 per month, with no annual contract and no hidden fees. Sling International carries more than 180 channels in 15 different languages.
There are three basic packages:
- Sling Orange that includes more than 30 channels for $20 per month
- Sling Blue with 40+ channels for $25 per month
- Sling Orange + Blue for $40 per month
On top of this basic offering, you can add themed bundles to your subscription, including:
- Sports Extras – $10 per month
- Kids Extras – $5 per month
- Comedy Plus Extra – $5 per month
- Lifestyle Plus Extra – $5 per month
- Hollywood Extra – $5 per month
- HBO® – $15
- Cinemax – $10
- Best of Spanish TV Extra – $5 per month
- And more
The coolest part is that you can watch Sling TV both at home and while on the go, on your TV, computer, tablet or smartphone. According to Sling — and we agree with them — this is TV the way it should be.
With Sling TV you also get video replay, along with the much-needed freedom to cancel your subscription easily online.
Sling TV is free to try for the first week, after which you get to decide whether it works for you or not. Check it out.
