    New BBC Streaming Service

    PBS will continue to pay $$$, possibly more $$$ for US Rights, but I would suspect that those rights would be only for Premiere and then only for a short time. PBS is still a great source of income to BBC. However, PBS is not the only source of programming for local public television stations...

    Free 18 hour Sling TV Preview

    So, will SlingTV servers be slammed with so many presumably taking advantage of this 18 hour free offer? If things get overloaed and slowed down, it will be a very bad demonstration of SlingTV as people will conclude that it is always low performing streams every day. I shall tune in to see...

    Lots of Sling TV News!

    This makes the top tier services nearly as expensive as Sony's Vue service, without DVR, but Charlie did say that was being worked on. This is all happening all over again: the same payTV tier and pricing mess, but it is all moved over to the OTT connected devices apps universe. Soon, it will...

    Sling TV now on available via Chromecast

    At this point, that would likely cost Sling more money (paid to the content owners/providers). At some point it may be worth it to them to pay it, but not anytime too soon. Otherwise, we can kiss the reasonable $20 price point goodbye. Sure, there are more features with coming competing...

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

    a quarter of a million in just a few months. That is outstanding. The real comparison will be how well Sony and Apple TV do when they finally come out. They will be charging significantly more per month (believed to be around $50 per month). Right now, SlingTV is the only live TV OTT service...

    How do I unsubscibe to Sling?

    Pretty much everybody, Netflix, Amazon, HuluPlus, don't have any way to "cancel" a subscription from the connected device such as a Roku. They all require one to log onto the account via browser PC, etc. where you then select to "Cancel" your subscription. This is an industry practice. None...

    A&E Networks coming to Sling TV

    It is not about the A&E channel, but the A&E OWNED channels that is the big news. That means the addition of History and H2 and Lifetime, all popular channels with popular programming. That's the value, not so much the A&E channel itself.

    SlingTV Invites going out tonight 1/26

    SlingTV was never designed to be the more sophisticated cable sat experience with DVR in a multiple person household, and that is part of the reason cable/sat is so expensive (box fees; DVR fees, etc.). SlingTV is for those young, mostly males, SINGLE people who've never paid for cable/sat and...

    Supreme Court ruled in favor of TV Networks

    Actually we can do something to change it. Congress has felt the public's heat on some issues and done a complete turn-around voting against or amendmening current law opposite to what the big contributors demand for their "payments" because the one thing politicians fear most of all is losing...

    Supreme Court ruled in favor of TV Networks

    The Supreme Court only ruled under the current copyright laws. Congress is free to change the copyright laws as it sees fit to explicitly allow services such as Aereo or clarify what cloud based services can do and not, but considering the big media companies who either own the content and/or...
