I read a news article that the author was using SlingTV. I am actually using it as a source for school

What are you using for school? The article as a reference? or a SlingTV account?

 

[Bobby]

Bobby are you saying that you were in charge of a missile silo at one time in the 60's?

No, I was not 'in charge.' I was an enlisted member of an Atlas F Combat Crew. There were 2 officers and 3 enlisted on each team.

The article as reference. When I get home I will post it on here. I want to say it was from Los Angeles Times.

You are starting to sound like me and MikeD-C05 when we don't get firmware upgrades soon enough when others already have theirs.

 

[Bobby]

No invite yet. You would think I would have some pull...

 

[foghorn2]

You have to pull, push, stroke and caress, maybe a kiss, lick and tug randomly to get anything special

 

[MikeD-C05]

Please tell me you are not confusing me with Haller!

No Bobby, I would never confuse you with Bob.

Just the idea of anyone I know, having access to nuclear missiles kind of freaks me out.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Has anyone on Satguys received an invite yet? Maybe it had a glitch and they aren't ready to roll out with it yet.

 

[SatinKzo]

I actually got my invite today. have to call in to activate it but it was pretty painless. CSR was very easy to deal with and pretty thorough in explaining everything.

I got an invite today signed up. And my biggest fear It's not very good on TWC cable modem works good at the office on fiber.

Yes, I will pass on Sling tv. The one stream at a time, limited dvr functions on certain channels and forced commercial breaks on others, sounds horrible to me. And the biggest thing to me ,is that you still have ESPN in the basic pack. I was hoping that this service would be the first to not force you to pay for sports and this service is not that. I don't think this service will be all that successful, if this is the way they are going to do it.

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 never will because they can't accept ever paying $60+ per month for TV. The "limitations" of SlingTV aren't really limitations, but the very same experience if one watches cable or sat using NON-DVR box, which several MILLION do as DVR's are still in a MINORITY of households. So, sitting through commercials and having only ONE tuner with NO DVR is still the common experience and not so different from the SlingTV experience, but SlingTV does offer access to shows already aired and some limited DVR like features on some content, so SlingTV would be an enhancement to watching cable/sat with only a one tuner NON-DVR box.
