The best value to stream live TV + on demand shows & movies

Sling TV is an app-based live TV service you watch over the internet. Imagine taking traditional TV, giving it a makeover, then made it way less expensive. Not to point fingers, but our price is less than half of our competitors. Sling TV is everything you love about TV without the grody parts. No rigid subscriptions, no bloated channel packs, no boxes or cables. You pick the plan that gives you the channels you care about without paying for hundreds of channels you don't. Sling TV lets you watch sports, movies, and shows live or on demand. It lets you customize your subscription with add-ons like AMC+ or Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. But the best part is, with Sling TV, you can sit as close as you want and you won’t go cross-eyed.

With Sling TV, you can record all your live TV except these channels: Local Now, ESPN3, ACC Network Extra and SEC Network+. Subscribers automatically get 50 hours of free DVR storage, but you can extend that to unlimited storage by adding Unlimited DVR for just $5/mo. It works just like traditional DVR recordings, except there’s no box or equipment of any kind. It’s cloud-based storage, and no, we don’t know what the cloud is, but smart people assure us it’s real.

FOX, NBC and ABC are available for some Blue subscribers in select cities. For everyone else, you can get ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC free for life with a digital antenna. We don’t believe in charging hefty fees for local channels like the other guys do, when you can get them for free. When you get a digital antenna, you get free local channels for life. See which markets get local channels here.

Orange subscribers can watch on one screen at a time. If you subscribe to Blue, you can watch on up to three screens at once. Now, hope you're wearing your fun pants, because this is where it gets exciting: If you subscribe to Orange + Blue, you can stream live TV on up to four screens at the same time.

Most channels on Sling TV offer on-demand shows and movies. Thousands of them, in fact.

Cancel! Any time! We've made it frighteningly easy. Or, if you’re just waiting for the next season of your favorite sport or show, you can pause for up to 3 months then resume when you’re ready. If you’re just looking to save a little money, there’s always Sling Freestream. Watch over 500 live channels and more than 40,000 on-demand shows and movies — all totally free. If you do cancel, your subscription will run until the end of your billing cycle then wait patiently until you turn it back on. We hate to see you go, but we get it. Sometimes you just want to read one of those word movie things. What are they called? Oh yeah, books.

Sometimes Sling TV offers discounts for new subscribers. The book we read on marketing said we should, so here we are. It also said we should say "Sign up, check things out, watch TV and see how it feels. If you like it, keep your subscription." It wasn't a very expensive book.
