Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t I see the Sling TV app on my VIZIO TV?
The Sling TV app is only available on 2016 and newer model VIZIO SmartCast TVs. If you don't see the Sling TV app already in the SmartCast app catalog, you may not have a supported device.
What is "casting" and how does it work with VIZIO SmartCast?
You do not need to 'cast' to watch Sling TV on a VIZIO SmartCast TV!
Casting is a feature that allows users to share content with a television or other display from a separate device, like an app on a mobile phone, all through a wireless connection.
This means you can use your Sling TV app on your mobile phone and cast the content onto your VIZIO SmartCast TV. However, now that Sling is an available app within the SmartCast library, just click the Sling TV app and Enjoy! - No casting needed.
