Sling TV: Is it time to cut the cord?

[@projectWRX15]

This open, discussion based way of portraying tech news is fantastic. It is a great switch up from many of the scripted shows (which are still good) on CNET. Jeff I hope you continue doing these types of videos!

[@stinka4079]

sling tv still has a few glitches to work out, but i've had it for 3 weeks now, and i love it. i've gotten rid of comast's $130 bill. i just have to figure out what to do if i want to watch my nba games on local cable.

[@christopher2534]

I'm glad to see you're still on the air Jeff!! I stopped watching cnet for a while after they cut the 404

[@ronlovell84]

They didn't mention that HBO GO will be on Sling TV, as well.

[@VictorPessoaDaSilva]

5:54 "Bravo is like sports for women" hahahah that was priceless, spot on

[@ItsMeSteveyP]

What are some DVR options to pair with a product such as SlingTV?

[@Digital_Flesh76]

you can have OTA/Over-the-air/Free-to-air/Antenna channels by entering your post code into the app and have it localized and even get a localized EPG/Electronic Programme Guide and if the app supports it on demand and catch-up TV too 😊

[@Oo2k10]

All you need is KZbin. But seriously you guys should make a video showing us consumer on how we can take advantage of all the media streaming service provide out there and get the tv channels you want and still pay less than your current cable provider. I can see sling+Netflix+HBO is all you really need to cut your cord.

[@jgehbinv]

With any live streaming service, how do you get "On Demand" movies like I presently get with my Verizon FIOS service?

[@iLykeCahrs]

How much golf coverage is on Sling TV?

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Expect the Satellite and Cable companies to get the OK to go Ala-carte . I expect this to happen this year.

[@bixfisher]

Hope Sling and TIVO will get together. Love my new TIVO ROAMIO OTA DVR with the streaming features. Sling TV would be a great addition to the already present options of HULU PLUS, NETFLIX, AMAZON PRIME....etc. Any thoughts?

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

Jeff, do Americans have access to NHL Center Ice? Unless your team is in your city being broadcasted by one of the networks, 150$ per season is better than 100$ per month.

[@patrickdelarosa-gf2he]

I thought of getting sling tv but what are the requirements before suscribing?

[@stinka4079]

+GeekyTec 101 There are no requirements. No contracts, or credit checks. However, make sure your internet speed is good. If you've streamed movies successfully, then you'll be ok.

[@patrickdelarosa-gf2he]

+A McGuire Thank you

how does it work on apple tv 4th?

[@Verdad2024]

How does Net Neutrality play a roll in this?

[@DeSoccerRefMan]

SLING TC or CABLE TV, or Cable Cutters I need some honest and well thought out advice please. At 66, I don't watch sports or Disney. I like RT, Sci-Fi, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MEtv, Bloomburg, AMC and for my wife, The JADE Channel. Here is the rub, no one uses their mobile devices and we have 6 TVs, 4 of them are being used at any one time. I took care of the 2 least used TV's by using free on over the airway HD signals. So that leaves 4 TVs. Our cable bill runs about $120 per mo. Can you please offer some sage advice. Please toss us a bone will ya? thx a bunch

[@brandonbartlett5667]

Scott Burry ps vue

[@davidholt2335]

PS Vue Allows 5 devices at one time.

[@DeSoccerRefMan]

The things you mentioned are easy to hook up for someone who is familiar with the technology, but for old guys like me (who have kept up with the technology as best as we could from 1970 through today but lack modern training) it is not as easy as you say it is. Why not make a video and post it on You Tube so we can all join cutting of the cord?

[@daveb2757]

How did you get msg?

[@wardaelsaidi]

how does it work

[@tigerbalm666]

HD sports like ESPN and golf, events like World Cup, etc is all that I want from networks.

[@billtrianosr.4786]

Using Sling and Amazon prime movies cost me more than cable because it using all my data

[@wardaelsaidi]

does it work on apple tv 4th?

[@frankiedonnadio6026]

yes

[@Nah-ig6ip]

How do you stream movies in Sling?

[@miker6570]

Sling tv is just like netflix if you already sub to them. This is a subscription service for people that includes some basic cable tv channels.

[@ElectricHeadOnline]

What about comparing to something like PlayOn?

[@MrSaLVideos]

Cable or regular (traditional) TV aint going anywhere,anytime soon (a BIG One).

[@haroldrussell5605]

How many chanels do you get for $20?

[@The_Real_DCT]

that's hilarious, yeah it's going to be a while before they get Bravo, Comedy Central, USA and all that and last week they added USA, Bravo, etc.

[@waswestkan]

Using an internet connection to get "TV" isn't really cutting the cord. Using the internet to get the content you want can be the most expensive option. I'm here because I registered with sling and provided the requisite payment info, but haven't been able to use it. Not with the roku or any app.

[@pf5658]

Had that same problem with sling on my iPad. I signed up for trial service and the app kept asking for password, which I gave but it never worked even after I tried asking for a new password that I never received. So I cancelled the service. Hope I have better luck on my tv with fire tv when I receive it. Also noticed that their iOS app had very poor ratings ,so I was not too surprised.

[@omargonzales3]

hey i want to buy this package $20, but i wan to add the sports channels to i think its $5 more (univison deportes, azteca america, ect) but some of thosed channels are also in the spanish movie section, can I watch the same shows that one network (UNIVISION on the movies section) airs on the other network (UNIVISION on the sports package) since its the same channel. unlike Univsion Deportes.

[@escoofimpakt]

NOOOO!

[@haroldmurrayDFW]

One word...MOBDRO

[@bigmikebjsr]

No Fox im out

[@The_Real_DCT]

they have Fox, unfortunately due to BS you have to choose between Fox channels Fox, Fox sports, FS Regional, FX, etc or Disney and ABC owned channels like Freeform, ABC and Disney because ABC didn't want to be available for multiple streams, Fox was fine with that but didn't want ABC to be available as a premium package. So you have to choose either single stream with ABC stuff or multiple stream with Fox stuff. They also added USA, Syfy, Comedy Central, Bravo, etc.
