What I thought of Sling TV

Tweet

I figured I'd give my own quick review on it as I know several people here who don't have cable or are trying to save money by cutting the cable bill. I tried sling t.v. through my firestick and I didn't like it. I didn't end up using the full 7 days of the trial. Fifeteen minutes was all it took for me to decide it wasn't for me. The channel options were alright, and so were some of the add ons for only $5.00 more etc. However, the quality of the picture and the fact that it kept buffering was just too much. Also, while some channels had shows you could watch at any time, not all channels did. I realize that sling t.v. is essentially it's own cable company, and that all they are really doing is giving a cheaper option to broadcast. However, you can purchase subscription to channels like starz through amazon prime and have no commercials, and have a more thorough option of things to watch. Not to mention the picture quality is much better and there was no buffering. I think sling t.v. is a good idea, but it's still in it's infancy and they need to work on picture quality and download / buffering speed. Sling TV would be $20.00 per month for 25 channels. There were additional options, including Spanish speaking television. Have you used sling t.v. and had different results?
