Sling TV

After getting a lot of recommendations to cut the cable I did with disappointing results. Sling was offering a "happy hour" special of free tv from 5 to midnight so I thought I would try it. I like that you get a choice of programming and there are inexpensive extras you can pick. While I don't have all the choices I would like, I have quite a few. It also allows me the opportunity to resume watching if I end up turning it off before the show is over. And I'm saving $60 a month from what I was paying for cable.

I have the Sling Blue package which includes all the major news channels, CNN, MSNBC, Fox and another 35 of the most popular cable channels like History, Discovery etc. I use it on Amazon Fire TV and Roku. This package is only $30.0 plus local sales tax. This package includes ten hours of free cloud DVR and you can add 50 hours of enhanced DVR for five dollars. You can fast forward, go back and pause on both packages.

I've had SlingTV for a few years, right after it came out. I was paying close to $100/month for the bare minimum satellite dish package and I wouldn't pay for any DVRs (I wasn't going to pay the additional monthly fee for the DVR receivers and the monthly cost for having DVR service). I work from home so I have to ensure I have great internet and Sling TV is SO much better than the basic satellite package I was paying for! I have so many more channels, I've never had any issues with streaming and another bonus - I don't have to worry about not having any TV when it snows (living in Utah means your satellite dish gets covered in snow multiple times and you have ZERO TV).

I have been with Sling for a couple of years now, Sling television has improved a lot. There's more channels and TV deals that's available. The price is convenient because sometimes there's nothing good on some channels. For the buck its a good deal, I just hope it authorized with apps like TNT, TBS, MTV and other apps so you don't always got to watch it on the sling app. Thanks, it good TV service.

Service is great, affordable and flexible but I cannot see Houston Astros games or UT Longhorns or WGN Super Station. Sling allows you to switch back and forth without charge between it packages which is a real benefit but I still can´t get the Astros or WGN. I can't find a provider for the Astros games except Root and Uverse which are not available here. DirecTV offers the games but the package is more than $200 per month. Sling is $25 per month...I can´t afford DirecTV.

In June we purchased a $60 gift card at Walmart for Sling and created an online account to apply it. Sling requires you to enter a debit/credit card to create the account but the site accepted the gift card as payment— until it didn’t and my credit card was charged instead. Customer service stated during promotion periods the gift card wouldn’t work, that we should reapply it in a month. Fast forward a month later and we reapplies the gift card. Again it said the card was accepted... but AGAIN WE WERE ALSO CHARGED on our credit card. THEIR MISTAKE and charges not authorized by me.

Was very hesitant to sign up for a new television service. I only watch a few select channels, but most importantly my local news. We researched Sling thoroughly and found I could get Hallmark Channel for $5.00 extra per month and it would include Food network and a couple of others I could take or leave. But most importantly if I purchased their $50.00 Antenna along with the 3 month package ($90.00) I could receive my local channels with no interruption. HAHAHA! The antennae is a joke and would not work for my area. When we brought this to the attention of Sling tv they basically said TOUGH! No refunds, no refund even of my 90 day subscription even though I have not watched one SECOND of Sling tv. They are the worst in customer service, in technical skills, in product quality, and certainly in VALUE. I would not recommend that anyone gamble on Sling tv. Just not worth it.

I set up service with Blue Sling TV for the trial program. I canceled service during the trial but it did not cancel. I was charged $32.45 for June and July, 2020. I did not realize that service had not been canceled until I looked at my account today. Customer service would not refund me for my subscription.

Sling TV changed my service settings without my permission. I have my Parental controls activated and I am the only person in my family that knows the number. They added a Spanish package to my service for $17 without my permission. No one in my family speaks or is learning Spanish. I called Sling TV immediately before the charge even cleared my credit card. The customer service representative said that someone had granted access to the charge.

Like others, when I tried to cancel, it wasn't. I subscribed for SLING on my Roku website, and so I canceled it on that same Roku website. But, when I inquired of Roku, I was told that to truly cancel my SLING subscription, I needed to contact SLING. And finally, Roku sent me a phone number to contact SLING. Today is the 12th of the month and I was billed on the 10th. SLING is a Pre-Pay billing, but when I asked that my account be canceled and closed today and that the unused portion of my Pre-Pay payment be returned, I was told by Mike and then a supervisor named Leo, Emp ID: **, that "we have to go by the guidelines."
