Dish Network announces Sling TV, an online cable alternative that will feature ESPN, ESPN2, Disney C

When does the promo code come?

 

Email.

 

Don't even need to put money. I was doing free trials of aereo and Hulu for awhile until I finally decided to pay Hulu to keep my queue but kept going with aereo just for football season. Might try to do a few more free trials of sling to see if I really really want to continue it. Basketball season is ramping up and I'm really enjoying the games so far.

 

Love this because all I watch is TNT, ESPN for sports but on my laptop, the app keeps crashing

 

Is this just live tv only or do they offer something like hulu where you can watch past episodes as well?

 

I did the 3 month promo and I just screencast my LG G3 and use that to watch it on my TV until my Roku stick arrives. Works fairly well.

 

Well this announcement makes me need sling less. I can leach off of family and friends now.

So I can't use one account for multiple tv's in my place is my understanding. That won't work. Ugh

 

Doesn't appear to be the case.

 

That sucks. Shouldn't they be able to just compare IP's and determine that the connections are in the same location?

 

Please elaborate or confirm bc that's exactly what I have been told.

 

Amazon stick is great. Much faster than roku stick

 

I meant that yeah it doesn't appear that we can use more than one device at the same time. When i was on the trial the 2nd feed would cut the 1st feed out. perhaps they are setting it up for an additional fee. Kind of like a 2nd set top box for an extra cost.

 

Oh ok gotcha. Pretty dumb if you ask me. I have to stay with Uverse.

 

El Rey network isn't widescreen

 

has AMC been added?

 

AMC was added about two weeks ago.

 

Does this provide any local broadcast stations (ex., NBC) or RSNs (Root SW)?

Just curious how it would recognize your address, IP or billing?
