    Hulu Ups Price of vMVPD Service But Reduces Core SVOD Plan with Commercials

    While the increase sucks... my wife and I agree that Hulu has given our family the greatest all in one option of all the ott providers. For years, I have been trying to figure out how to get an all in one option going. We had Hulu prior to live tv and loved the collection of shows it has (full...

    Cord cutting still subpar

    I will say that Hulu, with even more recent developments, has and will allow us to drop other services. Movies almost mirror what is on Netflix, and if I can get all the shows that my wife and I watch that is only on Netflix, saved into my PlayOn Cloud DVR, I can cut Netflix out and save that...

    SLING TV PUSHES BEYOND THE BUNDLE: REMOVES PAYWALL BARRIERS

    As far as I know, the rate increase won't affect those who already have the Orange package. I just looked at my account, went to the "change packages" area, and noticed that my package is dubbed "Sling Orange (Legacy)" for $19.99, and there are Sling Orange Legacy add-ons, which are the typical...

    Cool Sling TV/Air TV classic experience

    I was looking to see if anyone reviewed on a total "out of the house" experience of the Sling TV/Air TV classic combo. I have finally been able to do so, via the Amazon Fire TV box. I have been "confined" to the hospital for a short term due to a chronic disease I have, so I decided to make...

    Ooyala: Growing Frustration Among OTT Viewers

    The grid guide and cloud DVR are the two reasons that I came back to Sling TV. Also the fact that soon... their Roku app will allow locals to be integrated into the guide via their AirTV2 box (two tuner local channel receiver, connected via the network). I had Sling TV for a bit after it...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I haven't noticed it on our OTA ABC station, just the ABC/Disney networks that stream via Sling TV. I have been told it is an issue on their end, that they are working with their engineers on... however that has been the story for at least the last few months I have had it, and still hasn't been...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    Just a quick update... I received the AirTV yesterday and started testing it out. While the instructions say that it integrates into the guide on Roku, the website states that Roku only works with the AirTV app. The website is correct, as my Roku hasn't added the over the air option to the app...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I already have the Roku set up and operating.... and voila.. Disney networks are working flawlessly on it! I wonder if those Android boxes don't play well with up-converting to 1080p from 720p, and that is what causes the issue? Not sure I get any of the Fox networks on Orange... do I? I find it...

    Dish Soft-Launches New AirTV Box

    I bit and purchased it. I received a relatively inexpensive AirTV player box from sling... and see why the price is what it is. For some reason, all the Disney owned stations have issues with that box (runs on the Android TV platform). Literally every few minutes, will go back 10 seconds in...

    How are you liking Sling TV?

    They actually do have TruTV in the Lifestyle package. My wife and I subscribe to that one. We watch TruTV all the time!

    Sling TV’s Subscriber Numbers Keep Growing-250,000

    My wife and I, 20something millennials, subscribe to it and quite enjoy it. While there are limitations, we deal with them as the cost point is low enough to make it worth putting up with the limitations. I constantly am getting things in the mail to come back to DISH and get $200, or even...

    100,000 subs 1st month

    While my wife said we could do without it and just with Netflix, she says she "quite enjoys" the package. I echo what Toddwsu2005 says above... smart channel choices that appeal to us millenials.

    Anyone else getting bored with Sling?

    It was what I expected. I wanted HGTV, Food and Travel. I ended up adding DIY and Cooking to our original package. TBS and TNT are nice too. It fills the void that OTA/Netflix couldn't 100% fill for me, especially since LiveWell went away in our market (which was similar to Food and HGTV)...

    Sling TV

    Sure enjoying it thus far. I am watching on a 50 inch LED TV... good quality picture (in HD) for everything I watch regularly (HGTV, Food, etc). This is well worth the money, for sure. I am thrilled.

    SlingTV Invites going out tonight 1/26

    I am 26 years old. I have received a code, and activated the service. I used to have DISH. My wife and I love HGTV and Food Network, but I HATED watching it in SD when we had Welcome Pack to watch it. Now, we can get it in HD... along with a plethora of other channels we enjoy. I love the fact...

    WeatherNation on Roku

    One of our OTA signals airs WeatherNation fulltime, in full HD (not on a subchannel, on a main channel). WIWN (Wisconsin WeatherNation). Picture is superb on my 40 inch LCD TV. I will say that the Roku version isn't bad though... but do prefer it over the air with the local forecast.
