Update: 11/25/24 Latest: wish I could give it NO STARS. FAST FWD SUCKS! After years of frustration, I have reduced my 2 star to ONE. Sling is the WORST. They fail to fix known bugs, secretly tinker with functions, like fast forward (which actually goes back to force you to watch unwanted content) on recorded (DVR) programs. And yes, it's cheap. 2nd update: Now, every time fast forward is used (on DVR shows) the app moves back to the starting point. Do it again and you still don't win! TERRIBLE

Horrible application and user account and billing experience (Double billing, which was resolved as soon as I noticed) Unintuitive menun flow, unhelpful search function. Application login not working, only website login was working. Lagging application On Chromecast with Google TV Cannot recommend this at all But this might be a very subjective review - decide on your own.

I love Sling. Been using them on and off for the last 4 years. Great channel selection and you get the local channels if you get the antenna from Sling. My only complaint is with ESPN only being able to be viewed on one device at a time. I don't think that's slings issue, I think that's a ESPN greed issue. I highly recommend Sling
