Members Khan Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 So, Mama Khan and I have "cut the cord," so to speak, and subscribed to Sling. We have the Blue package, I believe, along with that "4 Extras" deal where you get four extra packages of channels for the price of two. I have to say that I'm liking what I'm seeing thus far. Most, if not all, the cable channels that I watch regularly are part of our deal; and the reception is as clear as it was on our old AT&T U-Verse TV. Only downsides? We don't have local channels; we don't live in a market that is available to Sling; and we live so far out in the sticks that even a high-range antenna (which we bought for one of our TVs) gives us trouble.

Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Sling has a special for something called "Air TV", it is supposed to give you local channels if you have the air tv box https://www.sling.com/devices/airtv Yay! I also love that with Sling you can downgrade your package anytime you want. I'm so addicted to GSN thanks to Sling, they have that channel almost on demanda, I can go back and watch Match Game & other shows that aired previously. The cloud DVR is so worth $5 a month. I have trouble getting local channels too, but I get ME TV pretty clearly so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Sounds good. Unfortunately, it still requires an antenna, which aren't the most reliable where I live, lol. I receive most local OTA channels, including Antenna TV and ME-TV. However, with each one, I get a lot of pixilating images, "digital channel strength is low" messages, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 As they call it, it's "A La Carte TV." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 You're welcome! Please register in order to view this content Like I said, most of the cable channels that I watch - Hallmark, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Lifetime, LMN, Logo, WEtv, etc. - are available on the Sling Blue and "4 Extras" packages, which together costs us $34.99 + tax. Which is way better than paying $170 and up for AT&T U-Verse TV and the dozens of channels we never, ever watch. No, that would be SLUNG TV.

Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Plus equipment fees and whatnot that cable co's charge DEAD AND BURIED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 17, 2017 Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Actually, Mama Khan wanted to switch L-O-N-G before I did. I resisted, largely because I still watch some local programming, especially for news and weather. That's why we compromised (sort of) and bought the high-range HDTV indoor antenna for my bedroom. I mean, it's Wednesday, and I am NOT about to not watch "SVU." Actually, the $170 includes equipment fees and other stuff. But, you know, when you have five TVs in one house, you expect to rack up SOME costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 17, 2017 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah that's so true. I have two tv's and I have fire stick on one and roku stick on the other and paid $40 for each, so overall I got a good deal given it's a one time cost.
