#Sling orange how to#
Not sure how to stream on your TV? Sling will send you a free Amazon Fire TV Stick streaming device when you pre-pay for two months of service, a $50 value on its own. This does add an annoying extra step to the TV-viewing experience - you’ll have to switch TV inputs and remotes every time you want to watch a local channel - but it’s a big part of why Sling can keep its prices so low. They’ll even send out someone to install it professionally for you. To make up for its biggest channel gaps, ABC and CBS, Sling offers customers a free indoor or outdoor TV antenna when you pre-pay for two months of service. That lowers the price of Orange and Blue to $30 in the first month, and Orange + Blue to $45. Instead, it swaps that free week with $10 off your first month of service. We’ve come to expect it, and it’s something that comes standard with every other streaming service. It’s disappointing that Sling doesn’t offer a free trial to customers who want to test out the service. Sling is the only live-streaming service that doesn’t offer a free trial, but it makes up for it with many generous promotions. Out of Sling, Hulu, DIRECTV STREAM and YouTube TV, Sling is the only service that doesn’t have all of the “big four” networks: ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

Granted, you can get those channels for free using a TV antenna, but it certainly degrades the channel-surfing experience to exit the Sling app whenever you want to watch ABC or CBS. It doesn’t have ABC or CBS in any of its plans - the two channels consumers said they wanted more than any others in TiVo’s survey of 3,300 consumers. The channels Sling is missing are tough to overlook. If you don’t need ESPN, you’ll get a lot more value with a plan that doesn’t include it. It’s why the channel and its affiliates cost a reported $9.06 in more than half of American homes. Without it, sports fans would miss out on many sporting events, including Monday Night Football’s marquee NFL matchups, the College Football Playoffs and NBA Conference Finals games. It has 41 channels to Orange’s 31, including FOX, NBC, Discovery Channel and FX.īut Sling Orange has one must-have channel that is non-negotiable for huge segments of viewers: ESPN. Sling Blue has an objectively better channel lineup. That said, there are some key differences between the two plans. In fact, around 80% of Orange’s channels are also available in Blue. There is a lot of overlap between Sling’s Orange and Blue plans.
