Sling TV Review: Is it Worth $2. Per Month? This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure page for more info. We’ve tried Sling TV on several occasions as we canceled our Direc. TV contract last year and thought a review of the service would be good. We were intrigued by the idea of getting access to channels like ESPN for $2.

I often get asked how to cut the cord and many hold back out of fear that they’ll miss out on sports. This only results in you spending more each month than you need to. I used to be one of those people and was excited about getting ESPN and ESPN2 for $2.

I want. We had a good overall experience, but ultimately decided not to keep it – and have come to the same conclusion with each instance we’ve used the service. Here’s a Sling TV review for 2. How Sling TV Works. As mentioned, Sling TV is a no- contract way to get television content. Ironically, it was launched by Dish TV in 2.

As I’ve shared in the past, we now get all of our content through the Amazon Fire Stick and are more than happy with that as a replacement. We also get our local channels with the Mohu Leaf which has worked great for our needs. Sling TV is an Internet based TV service that offers just over 3. They also offer a $2. ESPN.

I will also add that Sling TV is a mix of live TV plus on demand shows, so it’s really a marriage of Netflix and the channels you want from cable. What Channels Do You Get With Sling TV? The Sling TV app offers a base package of 2.

Those channels are: ESPN                                               TBSESPN2                                             Travel Channel. AMC                                                 Adult Swim.

Most importantly, it’s fairly inexpensive and does not require a contract. That alone is worth consideration. It lets you access some of your favorite shows if you’vecut cable without the nasty cost. I also like that it’s compatible with so many devices.

You can use it on your phone or even on a video game console if you like, so there’s obviously a lot of options. We only used the television interface but it was relatively straightforward. You simply launch the app on the Fire TV Stick (here’s our Amazon Fire TV Stick review) or Amazon Fire TV (here’s our Amazon Fire TV review) and navigate to the channel you want to watch.

The app provides a “What’s On” section so you can see what’s live. Watch Cafe Society Online Hulu. You can also navigate to the specific channel to see what on demand programming they have available. I will add that many of the channels have pause, rewind and fast forward features, which is nice – though it does not work on channels like ESPN, TBS or TNT.**Additional tip: Love NFL football but don’t know how to watch your favorite team without cable? Here’s how to watch NFL without cable and still catch all the action!**The other thing of note I really liked is the 3- Day Replay Sling TV offers. It’s not available on all channels, but is on most. This feature allows you to access content that has been on the given channel during the past three days.

They also offer a similar “Start Over” function that allows you to jump back to the beginning of a show. While not the full features found in a DVR it does offer some ways around it. Sling TV – What Not to Like. The main complaint I had with Sling TV was buffering issues. We have a relatively fast Internet connection (4.

Mbps download speed, 6. Mbps upload speed and 9. The most glaring time I saw this was while trying to watch the college football playoffs in January – with the championship game being the worst. It took 1. 0- 1. 5 minutes for the game to come on though I’m sure it’s because there were many other people trying to access it at the same time. That being said, they had much worse problems during March Madness last year so it’s something to keep in mind. Additionally, there’s no way to look at what’s on without kicking you out of the platform altogether – ultimately forcing you to start over every time you want to watch something different. Want another no- contract option?

Check out Direc. TV’s new service in my Direc. TV Now review. Similar to Sling, Direc. TV Now offers a free 7- day trial to test out the platform. Another thing to keep in mind is Sling TV only works on one device at a time on the base package. That wasn’t an issue for us though it may well be for you.

Lastly, some of the more popular channels are linear only which means live is the only option you get with no ability to fast forward or rewind. This can be a problem as they’ve not rolled out DVR capability yet, though it is available in beta testing to some customers. Sling TV Review – Final Thoughts. Ultimately, I believe Sling TV is the beginning of new things for those who want to cut the cord. As such, it’s not perfect. My hope is that they continue to improve its functionality and clear up the buffering issues.

I think for those who want to cut the cord and still have access to channels like ESPN it can be a good option for the $2.
