Sling TV

Signed up for 7-day trial. On the last day I tried to log in to cancel, but the website wasn't working. I called. I was told that my trial had expired at 2:11 that afternoon and that I'd been charged and nothing could be done about it. I then talked to a supervisor, who also said nothing could be done. Plus the service is bad. The image froze often while streaming and even went black sometimes. Friends had signed up to watch the NBA finals, but were unable to watch the first game because of an issue with ESPN3 - but there was no message on the website or on the company voice mail.

I have been duped one too many times by Sling's cancelation failures. They have set up a cancelation system that does not cancel your credit card from billing you! I was not refunded my money when this happened to me on 2/19/24. They stole my money using this easy to cancel system! BEWARE!

In my prior experience with Sling, it wasn't too bad. However, my recent encounter with them suggests that they have become excessively profit-driven, bombarding viewers with an overwhelming number of commercials.

During my attempt to watch just two episodes of Gold Rush, I was subjected to an astonishing 40+ COMMERCIALS. This relentless advertising onslaught almost dissuades me from watching TV altogether... It's frustrating, to say the least.

We signed up for the trial and were charged before it ended. We called, while still in our trial, canceled and were told it's against their policy to issue refunds. It's been 4 months and we are still calling every month to make sure they cancel and they are still refusing refunds. They assured us a week ago there would be no more charges last week and another payment posted today! The customer service number wait is usually 30 min or more every time we call. We have decided to dispute the charges with a bank to get all of our money back and to block them ourselves. Theives!

Horrible service for football fans. They didn't have any cbs channels even though they advertise like their program is good for sports. I couldn't get a refund even though I only used it one day. 0/10

So I decided to take sling up on its free tv until 8/20/22. On the page where you check out it gave me the rundown on charges that will occur after the promotion. I was charged right away and did not receive any free viewing days. I immediately contacted customer service and was told I was not qualified for a promotion even though the checkout page said amount after promotion. I then asked since they took the money already can they just change the billing date for the next month, I was told no, and was hung up on by a rude customer service representative. I feel I have been scammed at this point. It's not sling tv it's scamtv. Best to stay away.

Had sling for many years off and on...went to watch it and it says someone from overseas tried to sign in.then code 10- 1,code 403.etc...called and no one can help asked for $ prorated nope...they are scams and thieves...

This has happened twice now where they start you with a menu and then take it away. The latest for everyone to know about is that the Elrey Network, effective 06/14/17 it taken away and put in "Comedy Extra" and now they want you to pay extra for it. It's basically a horror movie channel and how that gets into Comedy Extra is beyond me. It's definitely not for childred. Example, they have been playing a "Saws" marathon. You may want to look in different directions, I'm going to cancel my service.

I signed up for a 3 month "deal" and decided not to renew. The TV access went blank after 3 months, so I figured that was that. But Sling TV continued to bill me monthly. When I called, they said the account was automatically reinstated on the same day the 3 months was over, because I failed to call (or go online) to cancel. They should have notified me when they automatically reinstated my service dates. They should not have continued to bill me if they were not going to continue to provide the service. They said I should have read the small print... Buyer beware!

I paid for a ppv show last night. It's always been attached to our next bill, but this time, they took payment immediately. We start watching the show and not even halfway in, my partner falls asleep so we stop the show to finish it the next day, since it's always been available for 48 hours after it starts. We log into sling to finish the show, and the show is no longer available. So we paid $50 for nothing and there's no way to fix it. Truly awful. This is thievery.
