What is Sling TV?
Sling TV has become a very reasonable alternative to regular cable. This app-based streaming service lets you stream live TV and on demand content across more than 30 channels. After the easy sign up process - with that discounted $10 for your first month - pick from the 80,000+ shows and movies that are at your fingertips - after the Olympics have finished of course!
The pause subscription option allows you to take a 30-day break from the streaming service. So if you've got a busy month with no time to binge watch your favourite shows, simply pause your subscription to save yourself some money. Then restart your subscription when you are ready. Not making use of your subscription at all? Easily cancel it with no extra fees.
With DVR on Sling TV you can record your favorite episodes to re-watch to your hearts content. These recordings will be around for as long as you are an active Sling TV customer, only being deleted 30 days after you have paused your subscription.
Keep in mind recording isn't available with ESPN3, ACC Network Extra, SEC Network+ and Local Now, but you're good to go with everything else.

Sling Blue isn't all Sling TV has to offer. The $25 saving also applies to Sling Orange, which differs slightly from its Blue equivalent.

But three ESPN channels are available with Sling Orange, so it really depends which sports you are looking to watch. We've put together a dedicated Sling TV channels guide to help you make up your mind.
If you like bits of each, go for the combined Blue and Orange package that gives you the best of both worlds for $50 a month. Still not satisfied? Sling has lots of extras that can be added to your basic plan for their own monthly fees. These include Comedy Extra, Sports Extra and Hollywood Extra.
