Dish now has a new service: Sling TV which for $20/mo. you can get selected channels such as:
- ESPN
- ESPN2
- CBS
- TNT
- TBS
- CNN
- Food Network
- HGTV
- Cartoon Network
- Adult Swim
- the Disney Channel
With Sling TV you can watch LIVE channels on you almost any streming device… Most of the channels allow you to watch shows as much as 3 days back! ESPN and ESPN2 for example don’t allow you to record or pause the playback – you can only watch it live! Keep in mind there isn’t a DVR.
The Sling TV service can be watched from (as of now):
- Your Android / iOS device
- From a Web Browser
- Amazon Fire TV
- Amazon Fire TV Stick
- Google Nexus Player
- LG Smart TVs
- Mac / OS X
- Roku set-top boxes
- Roku Streaming Stick
- Roku TV
- Windows PC
- Xbox One
There are no contacts involved you you can cancel the service anytime you want and with the Xbox One you get a one month trail so you can have enough time to make sure this service fits your needs.
If you need more channels then you can buy ad-ons.
Dish wants this to be another streming service along with Hulu Plus and/or Netflix. As for now we suggest you keep your current streaming service subscription for now…
