Sling TV

I got one too. One thing I'm not clear on does this have a web interface or must an app be installed to work? I have a chrome box hooked up to my main tv and would love to use this on there since we don't have cable, just an antenna with hulu and netflix.

 

Damn it i want one

 

I think now only Roku, mobile devices, and PC are supported.

I still haven't received my invite and I signed up early. Let me know what you guys think.

 

Xbox one updated app makes it significantly better

 

Cancel directv, add sling blue tv and if you have a pine64 or a rasperry pi you can stream the comet tv channel for free. Cut your cable bills man! NOt worth it!

 

Any options for streaming rockets games here in Houston? I'm looking for HD quality as well.

 

Would totally do Sling if I could watch Rockets. Otherwise I'm sticking with Comcast

 

Heck yes!! It's included if you do the sling blue tv!!!

How do the FOX Regional Sports Networks work?

With our Sling Blue service comes the addition of FOX and FOX Regional Sports. When signing up, the FOX Regional Sports network(s) you receive will be based on your billing zip code. When you start streaming, your FOX Regional Sports Network will be available to you in its eligible zone. If you leave this zone temporarily, you will not receive your Regional Sports Network until you return.

The following FOX Regional Sports Networks will be available based on your location:
FOX Sports Ohio, FOX Sports West, FOX Sports Florida, FOX Sports South, FOX Sports Midwest, FOX Sports Arizona, FOX Sports Cincinnati, FOX Sports Detroit, FOX Sports North, FOX Sports Prime Ticket, FOX Sports San Diego, FOX Sports Southeast, FOX Sports Southwest, FOX Sports Sun, Sports Time Ohio, and YES (Yankees Entertainment and Sports) Network.

The Rockets aren't on Fox though. They're on Root Sports.

 

Aw ****!!!! Dammit

 

I'll find a way to watch the games somehow. Just not on sling.

 

Directv Now

This is only one step in the right direction. It's not the final destination.

Still waiting on ESPN to offer streaming without requiring a cable subscription. That is what will truly blow things open.

 

At least we have a chance for DirecTV to have Root sports, since well they own them, SlingTV, owned by Dish Network, doesn't have Root Sports Houston at all

I've been using SlingTV Blue (multi stream package ftw) since last season's playoffs, have no complaints about it. It didn't work with Android after Nougat was released, but was fixed last week.

 

I use it. It's good if you like surfing TV. I end up watching HBO Now, Netflix and Kodi more.

 

Any DVR like options or is it only live TV?

 

Some content you don't have to watch live, but I don't think you have control over what that is or how long it's available

 

Check out PlayStation Vue for cloud dvr features.

 

I prefer PlayStation Vue after using SlingTV. It's more reliable in my opinion with better picture quality. As @dc2000 said though, DirecTV now is our best bet as they own Root Sports.
