It is about time. Now if they will add MLB Network.

Nice addition!

Nice addition!

This was what their most requested feature to add. It just makes it so much easy to see what will be coming up on all of the channels in the next couple of hours instead of having to navigate each channel one at a time

It's a good start. I don't see a linear guide in either the iOS app or the Windows 10 app. How do you enable this?

It is currently only available on Android based systems. They said all devices will be getting this feature soon.

Wish PS Vue would do the same.

Are you using a Roku? I ask because all their other platform apps have a guide.

I think a grid style guide would be nice. The one thing I didn't like about Sling tv before was no guide.

Using both the Fire TV box and sticks. Granted that VUE has a guide, but it is in vertical rather than horizontal or linear form. Hard to get used to after being used to the linear style guide forever.

yep, thats the precise reason I actually like the current sling interface. Glad to see I'll have an option to choose which layout I want.

A linear guide is a must-have for Sling if they ever want to fully compete with satellite and cable.

The vast majority of channel-flippers are just simply used to that kind of guide, IMO. You want to be able to see what is on many channels at a glance.

Still not worth it.

I wish they had an ETA on when the new linear guide will be available on other platforms besides Android.

Is this available on Fire TV? I'm still seeing older non-grid UI.

Apparently it only works on Android phones. Not much of a roll out, eh?

Apparently, Sling and other companies who offer these streaming live TV packages have determined that big percentage of the population are shifting to watching TV programs on their smart phones and tablets instead of home TV sets. I find that very mind boggling!

It works on ANDROID devices, including boxes and such. NOT just phones....

I don't think they are wrong about that, especially for teens and kids, but they've forgotten everybody else. I guess that isn't too uncommon.

Amazon Fire is an Android device and it doesn't work on that
