What is Sling TV?
In the words of Sling TV, it is the first app-based TV service which makes the act of watching live TV the easiest and most affordable it has been yet. Whether its Channel Add-ons, Premium Add-ons, DVR Plus or much more, there are three separate plans for whatever your viewing habits are.
Offering a more family-friendly range of programmes, including Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and Nick Jr., Sling Orange features over 30 channels starting from a very reasonable $40 per month. Sitting as an alternative to that is Sling Blue – also starting at the same price – which offers 42 channels including a wide variety of national and local news.
The final plan is the best of both worlds, conveniently called Sling Orange & Blue, and mixes the entertainment channels with the sports and news in a bundle starting at $55 per month. This works out to nearly a dollar per channel with up to 50 different channels on offer. Find out more about these Sling packages and which one to pick for you here.
