In light of the videos circulating that show DISH technicians installing Flock cameras, I've seen some folks downplaying this by saying that OnTech was the entity contracted for the installations, not DISH. To be clear DISH owns OnTech - much like DISH owns Sling. I don't know about others, but I have concerns about supporting a company with connections to Flock on any level.

So I'm trying to play a DVR recording the Lions-Colts preseason match that saved from NFL Network, but it's saying it's unavailable due to "blackout restrictions". Can anyone explain more on what that means because I have basically everything in terms of sports packages and I feel like this is gonna affect my regular season viewings?

edit: typo

Basically the title.

If someone has a sub, can you and your family watch it at the same time even if you aren't in the same household?

I prepaid for 3 months of Blue. I want to add Essentials for a month, but I don't want to cancel Blue. How do I do that? TIA

I just joined sling blue select, the $25 dollar one. Last time on this it was $25 plus they added $5 for local. Today it did not add the 5 and I am getting 2 locals, CBS and NBC.

I did get the Paramount showtime add on for $10 if that matters.

Is this a glitch or are they now included at no cost. Next month bill also shows the same price so it was not a first month discount. This is day 1 and maybe the locals will disappear in a day or 2.

I have several Roku TVs all use Sling and Airtv for my local channels. Just ONE of my TCL ROKU TV does NOT play the local channels (from antenna). The local channels do appear on the TV guide. They DO play on my other Roku TVs.

I have tried deleting and reinstalling the Sling app, factory reset the Roku TV, unplugging the Roku TV for a bit and restarting. All apps are up to date (Roku TV, and Sling app).

For the past two days AirTV Anywhere hasnt worked. I rescanned the channels, readded them but they're just stuck on the loading screen. I'm connected through Ethernet and tried a different cable just to be sure but got the same result

Edit: I should be more specific: The guide shows the local channels, but doesn't actually load them. It just sits on the channel logo screen. I have 3 other Roku TVs and it works fine on all of those. But my living room doesn't work. I tried the Android app and that works fine as well .

It is unclear from the Sling website, but with a Sling Latino plan do you get DVR space?

My main interest is being able to watch Premier League matches on Universo. Can you DVR those or are they on demand?

Then, with regard to Bein Sports Connect, can you DVR connect-only matches, or are they available for on-demand viewing?

Also I'm assuming I can JUST sign up for the Sling Latino plan, correct? I don't need Sling Orange or Blue or whatever?

Will Sling broadcast EPL matches in 4K this season? If not, how to watch EPL in 4K in USA? I can't find NBC 4K or USA 4K on Sling

how many times can i do the pause extra

I bought the AirTV Anywhere and an antenna, but the app just continues trying to find local channels, just a loading screen. I used two different antennas, same result. I plugged it into the tv and it works but I need some way to broadcast on my Mac. Can anyone help?

Edit: talking about the sling app

i just signed up with sling and got the unlimited dvr when i fast forward it only shows a thumnail very small picture its too small for me i cant see it is there a way to make the fast forward picture the whole tv screen if i cant make it bigger i will have to cancel

Why is it that recently when I go into the Sling App, I have to turn off Close Caption? Never used to be this way.

It's obstructing the score of the match I'm watching and it won't go away. Infuriating.

The past three months our data use has tripled on xfinity leading to overage charges. It would appear sling tv on my TCL rocu tvs isn’t helping. There appears no way to reduce picture quality like in the past, sling tv ios app still has the picture adjustment. How can I throttle slingtv back?

Anyone else get a email saying the spin and win will end this month ? August. I only won a $10 credit. They removed the regular earned points for watching then only the spin and win last year or so. Thoughts? Anyone win anything?

i got the new essentials plan and the app said i can get the hollywood extra that has the TCM ch i paid $6 and it does not have it does anyone know whats going on

I set the DVR to record The Help about 3 years ago. It won’t stop recording it no matter what! I can stop it from recording if I happen to catch it on “scheduled “ but all efforts to cancel future recordings do not work! It’s fine when The Help isn’t trending and I only have to erase a couple times a year but it’s back on the repeat lately. I don’t check scheduled recordings daily (who does?). I’ve done everything! I can’t make it stop! Same with “Swindler Seduction”. Why only these certain movies??? So embarrassing! 😂

I'm considering dropping my FiOS TV package and switching over to Sling, but I still need local channels to record NFL games (I start recording, then start watching around halftime so I can skip through ads and time between plays). The AirTV Anywhere seems to be the easiest solution (if not, please let me know what's better).

Am I correct in that the AirTV box doesn't need to be next to your TV as long as it's connected to your network? Just trying to figure out where to put the antenna and box—if they can be hidden away somewhere, that would be nice.

I am debating between Sling Essentials with Sports Extra and ESPN Unlimited. I used to have Sling Orange with Sports Extra until I switched to ESPN Unlimited last year.

The question I have is about ACCN extra and SECN+.

Sling Orange with Sports Extra contain these channels in the Sling platform. In other words, I didn't have to log on ESPN app.

Is that same for Sling Essentials with Sports Extra? I cannot get a clear answer and would appreciate if somebody knows the answer.

Long time YouTube TV subscriber. After all the price hikes and watching probably half of the channels, I decided to give Sling a go. Channel wise, I think I’ll be good.

Using Apple TV - and everything app/video quality wise seems far superior in YT TV. Sling is, well clunky. Watching a baseball game and it seems like it keeps kicking around video qualities. I have 100/100 fiber and have zero issues with any other streaming app (YT TV, Netflix, etc.).

I don’t think it’s a game breaker, I’ll adjust. This is more or less a check-in to see if this is expected or if there is anything I should be checking? I did some online research and didn’t find much.

Let me know if you have any other tips/tricks outside of this. Thanks in advance!

Edit, fixing typo.

Has anyone else had trouble with Sling TV’s customer support? I had an account in 2021–2022 and tried to log back in to resubscribe, but the website wouldn’t let me update my package. Their chat system kept looping without solving anything, and when I finally got a live agent, they just repeated basic restart steps and pricing info on the old package with no real effort to troubleshoot the actual error. I’m trying to avoid going back to DirecTV after their recent price hike, but Sling’s support experience has been pretty frustrating.

Anyone ever try to watch this channel? I love crime and murder documentaries. Every time I see something interesting to record and/or watch, according to the advertising shows/time slots, they’re always inaccurate! Every single time!

Who’s running that channel? Are they on LSD the entire time? It’s insane.

Hello! I was originally a YouTube tv subscriber but I did not like how they pause content made for kids/family then they geolock your account. Tried Hulu but too expensive. They also geolock. Channels won't work outside of home. I was trying to share channels with family. Downgraded back to Hulu Disney premium. Fubo has too many sports channels I don't need and direct tv hikes your price after a few years. Plus they won't allow prepaid cards. Sling does. I just noticed sling has nearly all of the premium addons added and I can add what I want for about the same price of Hulu with only 4-5 addons there. I cannot afford airtv so I got a tablo. Total cost is $175 about the same as my old Hulu plan. So much stuff to watch now!! Thank you sling tv!

OMG is non stop. Last night 7 in a row of the Amica insurance commercials.

Stop the insanity. 😂
