Sling TV

I despise commercials. We all do. When my favorite show starts a commercial, I switch channels, but Sling makes you watch all the commercials before you can actually switch to the next program. They show the commercial in a smaller window and keep playing the sound even if it is 5 to 7 minutes of continuous commercials. They lock you out of progressing. I hate this and thus I now hate the products that are being force fed to me.

Even with all the spotty signals, Sling has found a way to offer you a more troublesome experience. Sling recently changed their channel lineup guide and now it's far more difficult and time consuming to see what's on and what's coming on at a later time. It's obvious that some so-called graphics person decided on what looked good to them rather than what may make the consumer viewing experience better. It's so bad, that after 4 years of being on Sling, I will be moving my business elsewhere very soon. If you have the choice, look for something else.

Mostly sling tv works. Occasionally, it goes off the rails and just tells you it can't connect (this is not a wifi issue). The recording feature is awful. I record Struggle Meals and it routinely cuts out half way through the show and starts when at the end of another episode. The biggest bonus of I get NBC. If it weren't for that, I would go to Philo.

I had the service for 3 months and during this time they offered a free Roku. I asked them about the promo and they wanted my credit card info to " confirm" account.
Instead of getting my Roku, they tried to charge me again for a subscription I was paid up to and current. Apparently the transaction was declined. They canceled my service but then refunded me the rest of my subscription that I had paid. Their operation made no sense. Not sure what this company is up to or where their service center is located.
In hindsight, I'm glad my credit card flagged them as suspicious and denied their charge.
The concept of Slingbox is appealing but I think there needs to be some competitors. Slingbox has a ton of bugs, doesn't run smoothly and their customer services appear shady.

There is not a night during prime time that the signal cuts out on major network NBC. Never resolved only getting worst. Not my network in the house it's business fast it is the transmission. Ruins the programing makes you avoid watching.

When my "basic cable" went up to $80 a month I started looking around. I live in a wooded, rural area, so I can't use either an antenna or a dish. I got a roku ($50) and for $20 a month (and an internet connection) I can get both real time and streaming channels. No contracts, month-to-month payment. It doesn't replace broadcast TV or cable, but it is a real alternative. Downside, only works on 1 devise at a time (remember when we watched TV together as a family) and Sling doesn't transmit the big 3 (ABC, NBC, CBS), Check out the stations it does have, (ESPN, Disney, Lifetime) and the ability to add HBO for $15 a month at a time. Love it!

I only subscribed to Sling.com for Wimbledon 2023, but after YEARS of dissatisfaction with ESPN, I have to say that Sling.com's coverage of Wimbledon 2023 was OUTSTANDING. I saw the BEST matches up close and personal compared to the diciest matches on ESPN on court 300. The only thing that surpasses Sling's coverage was HBO's coverage of Wimbledon years ago. That, too, was outstanding. I will subscribe to it every year going forward for Wimbledon. Thank you, Sling.com, for Wimbledon. Tennis is one of the few secret pleasures and you allowed me to watch the very best of it. Thank you kindly.

Bought a gift card I can't use it but they want me to pay an extra $90 untilt theyI get it figured out not gonna happen at the lady was reading a Teleprompter or something like a robot the whole time I just hung up on her finally talked to someone with some sense I'll just go to a different service tired of this ahi& every other month dealing with something that was not my fault that they want me to pay for my service twice cause my payment went past my due date no it didn't your gift card system is messed up AGAIN

Worst streaming service ever! Borderline scam. Customer service literally told me " sorry, nothing more we can do...we will start a ticket & you will be contacted via email".crickets... I have screaming fast & stable fiber internet.

I can't cancel services on the website. I tried on Chrome, Edge and Firefox. No browser worked. Everytime I clicked "Review" to see the changes the page says "Oops there was an error, refresh page" Never works. This has been broken for a very long time and I'm sure they know about it. Sucks to pay for services you don't use.

I signed up for the 7 day free trial and cancelled after one day because it was not what we needed. I was charged $40 despite cancellation. I spent over an hour talking to customer service, who unapologetically explained they have a "no refunds" policy, with no exceptions.

This clearly is not a successful business model and I'd be extremely wary of ever signing up for a service who has a policy like this. It's also incredibly difficult reaching customer service.

I wish I would have read reviews before signing up for a 5 month "deal". I assumed I would be able to see my team (Ohio State) since the advertisement was for college football. Ohio State is a well recognized brand but almost none of their games are available. 1 on big ten network. The local channels also cannot be streamed in my zip code for some other inexplicable reason. The process should include a way to indicate what you want to watch and you should be able to see if it is a match.

If I could give ZERO star, I would! I only tried their "free" trial period for 24 hours, could not find my favorite channels, cancelled subscription, but they still charged me for the full first month! Frequent glitches with those annoying "we'll be right back" blackouts. Stay away from Sling!

Sling attracts customers with false promises... it says once you have Sony Liv u will have access to all exclusive web originals on the channel... however that is not true... they take that away post 1 week... i am damn sure if had taken one of their expensive packages they would have come back... these guys are liars and scammers... i can only pray they go in losses.
