In this Sling TV review, we’ll cover exactly what you need to know before you sign up for Sling TV including their channel lineup, pricing, local channel options, and the Sling TV app. What’s great about Sling TV is it seems to balance those two elements: features and price. Do you pay up for a content-packed service like Hulu + Live TV? Or pay less for a service with fewer content options like Philo? While each service has its own merits, they seem to bring about an essential choice. According to the company, future Sling Freestream features on the road map include universal search functionality, updated guide filters and autoplay capabilities.On Shall I Stream It, we’ve reviewed multiple live TV streaming services, including YouTube TV, Philo, and Hulu + Live TV.

Freestream also offers international programming in nine languages, such as AajTak International, DesiPlay, Noticias Univision 24/7, ARY News, France24, beIN Sports Xtra, SonyKal, TVP World, Al Jazeera English and Al Arabiya.įreestream is available through the Sling app on Roku devices, and is rolling out across LG, Samsung and Vizio devices and all Sling-supported devices over the next few months. The Sling Freestream content lineup includes: AMC’s The Walking Dead Universe ABC News Live Architectural Digest’s “Open Door” “Family Feud” (Buzzr) CBS News Cheddar News’ “Wake Up with Cheddar” ESPN On Demand ESR Electric Now FailArmy “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Heartland,” and “Forensic Files” (FilmRise) Maverick Black Cinema’s “Boxed In” and “Dilemma” GoTraveler Rick Steves Europe Anthony Bourdain’s “A Cook’s Tour” the Pet Collective, and VH1 I Love Reality. “We know some people want free content, some may want a year-round paid subscription, while others may want to subscribe for certain events or shows,” he said. Sling’s expanded FAST and AVOD tier will serve as an on-ramp for consumers who want to subscribe to its pay-TV packages - as well as an off-ramp for those canceling their paid service so Sling can retain them as viewers, Schanman said. As of the end of the third quarter of 2022, Sling TV had 2.41 million paid subscribers, down 6% from a year prior but a sequential increase of about 214,000.

The move comes after Sling TV last fall raised the prices on its stripped-down internet pay-TV services, bumping up both packages (Sling Orange and Sling Blue) by $5 to $40/month.
