Sling TV

My account was reactivated mysteriously after i shut it down 45 days later and customer service refused to help me remmedy the situation. I called immediately, however, they let the charge stand and would not take my account off their website even though i had to shut i asked them to. I had to call the credit card company to cancel the card.
Customer service was also extremely rude - the worst experience i've ever had with a service.

Signed up for blue/orange PLUS an additional $20 for ncaa football... tried to play the mizzou game upstairs while my husband watched it downstairs and it kept kicking me out. So I turned on the FSU game. It kicked me out. Called customer service and they smugly said "yep, you can't do that it clearly said that when you signed up" but it didn't state that at all. They also won't refund you. I'll be reporting this to the FTC and BBB.

Sling TV would just stop, stagger, or have poor quality, EVEN ON LIVE EVENTS. I have called Sling TV 3 times (It appears they have now stopped publishing their number on their website), communicated through their online chat service three times, and have cancelled my subscription to Sling TV. I have NEVER experienced such bad customer service. The first time I called they "escalated" my concern. When I called 2 days later they said it had been cancelled and they wrote another one (expressed my concern that they could have contacted me to get more info if they needed it). The online chat service was nice the first time, but the second time the rep had no clue. The last time I tried to reach them via chat, the rep kept saying "are you there?" and even though I was writing, he cut me off. And they would give all kind of excuses. I gave Sling TV plenty of chances to correct the problem, but I am done with them. I would never recommend them to anyone.

Do not get Sling TV to watch major sporting events. It will load/buffer constantly. Sling will not compensate you for this. They also do not have the same channels that cable and satellite networks have. For example, NBA TV the NFL Network and the other acillary sports channels they offer are constantly blacked out, even when they are not blacked out on regular cable. They are basically going to tell you you are SOL, and that there are no refunds. The service is cheap, but it's a rip-off.

I have had Sling TV for a month and a half. I had to call costumer service about twelve times. Certain channels disappear, so you are paying for channels that you are not receiving. Half the time the channels buffer to the point you have to turn it off. Then when you call customer service, the blame is placed on your internet. Even though my computer, cell phones are hooked to my internet. I can watch netflex and amazon on my TV's. Sling has the worst customer service I have ever seen. N o call backs or e-mails to follow up with a no problem or for any call you have placed to them about an issue. I do not recommend Sling TV at all.

After a years of being a customer I have seen constant buffering, errors, and all out fails. I understand it is what you pay for. It works great when it works. I do not recommend Sling for Sports it always cuts out or starts buffering in the middle of a game. I do not recommend airTV unless you get it on an Antenna already installed with great reception. AirTV does not get you better reception and it does not fix any problems if you have them. I am in a difficult area for reception and only get the reception I already had. The Sling guide for ESPN is always out of wack and miss-labled but I'm Sure that is on ESPN.
I do recommend an express Roku player with the sling app if you travel. Worked great while staying at places on family vacations for those couple of hours before sleep and while waiting for places to open. Also on your phone at the airport.

Sling.com just charged me $24.99 for a month of service. I was out of town last week and no one was home. They claim someone in my household signed up. Really? The charge was on the 18th and i just happened to notice it on my credit card bill. It is now the 27th and i called to tell them there was a mistake. They said they were sorry but they could not refund the money. I had signed up months ago for their free trial and ended it within a day because i knew it wasn't what i wanted. Now months later they start charging my card. The fact that they have horrible reviews speaks volumes. What a totally crooked company.

They advertise on their site, that with the upgraded Sports Package, that as a subscriber, you can watch 4 sports games, at the same time (different devices) on the Blue and Orange package. What I found out, after subscribing, is that you can only watch one Orange channel and 3 Blue channels, at the same time. I called Sling and challenged their false advertising, and was told "too bad!" So, I cancelled my subscription within 48 hours of payment, requested a prorated refund, and once again was told "too bad, no refund!" Don't go with SlingTV!

One day I got an email from Sling saying something like "Thanks for renting the GGG vs. Canelo Alvarez fight". And in it was the amount of $85.18. I knew nothing of this fight and verified my husband did not rent this upcoming event. Immediately I pulled up my credit card statement and they had charged my card the $85.18 already at the same time they sent me the email. Well of course I thought this was just a mistake and call them to get it corrected and a refund to my card. Long story short, after talking to 2 supervisors, It was clear I was not going to get a refund (Even though the tv event had not even happened yet). I could see if it were a mistake on my or my husbands side and we accidentally rented this show, but they sent us the exact time it was rented and we both can verify we did not rent this- not even by accident. They can not be trusted with your credit card numbers becasue they will charge random things to your card- I cancelled Sling right away and will never go back!

I canceled my subscription with sling. After the 3rd email requesting cancelation and to refund my money finally they cancel but say they do not give any refunds. I spoke with Kelly a supervisor. I know I can not be the only one having this issue with their no refund policy and their continuous billing practice after their has been a clear request for denial of services. We need a class action lawsuit against this company for their taking of funds from their customers to stop this. A request for attorneys fees and hopefully enough people to stop a company from swindling funds and taking advantage of customers. If anyone is checking in to along TV. The app is not great and their continuous charging is not worth the risk. Do not give them your card info. Definitely choose Hulu or some other app that doesn't ignore a request to cancel and keeps taking funds from your bank.
