Sling TV

I recently downloaded the app and worked through connection issues with their rep. Upon connecting the streaming was very choppy. The rep said he thought that might be an issue given our bandwidth. We agreed there was no solution until our town gets higher speed broadband service. I asked to cancel, and he said no problem, except I would still be billed for a month of unusable service. He helpfully referred me to their feedback section which cheerfully told me how pleased they were to respond to my issue. Pleased, but useless. The bottom line is they would rather screw you for one month and lose you as a long-term customer. I'll never go back, and my advice is avoid them like the plague.

I noticed $15 extra charge on my last cc statement I contacted them it was over free trial that I cancelled but it didn't go thru so 2 months later after 2 calls and chats they say it's cancelled but will not credit. I'm thinking about changing companies. Have been with them for 5 years. I guess that doesn't mean anything. No loyalty there!

This service is terrible. It often goes into a spooling mode that sometimes won't clear for severs hours Loading the service is at times like pulling teeth. Often it takes 2 or 3 attempts to get past the sling logo. When commercial comes on often you have coax it back to show by switching to a different channel for about 60 seconds then try to re-establish your desired channel
I have experience the same channel replaying a show I just finished watching. There is also a problem with consistent audio. The audio will time out and the come back on which is totally distracting and watchers lose cohesion of the show. I will cancel this service in the next day or so.

My 12 year old son set up an account using CC info stored in my wife's computer. We were billed for 8 months before we realized what was happening. Sling acknowledged that the account was only ever accessed ONE TIME and yet they refuse to give any refund. I only asked for the last three months, but they didn't even offer a one month refund. Now I am in a dispute process through my bank. Terribly rude customer service agents and supervisors. I had to call back a second time and it took them almost 30 minutes to locate the account.

Horrible, and it's not my connection. Netflix, Discovery plus, Hulu, prime video and YouTube all do just fine with playback and pause. For some reason Sling just cannot get their hands on whatever platform tech their competitors have. For example I tape NBA games. I pause it to get a bite to eat and sling apparently doesn't know how to bookmark where I left off and when I press play again it jumps to live ruining my game and and defeating the purpose of DVR. This happens routinely. Pause and playback work perfectly fine on the previously mentioned streaming platforms. I'm ready and actively looking for a better alternative. I've been too patient for six years with sling and they still can't get their sh$? Together.

I ordered sling on 9-12-23, online when I signed up the computer said I would be charged 27.50 immediately and 55.00 on 10-11-23. Instead they took $55 out of my card on 9-12. I called and told them their error, of course it's another country I'm calling, talked to two people they only would read a script, saying no refund and I would have service a month. They claim I was existing customer because I used 7 day trial a year and a half ago. Not I tried it one day. I deleted their app immediately and am now disputing through my bank.

I have the best of the best when it come to internet access and wifi access and sling is the only app that I Constantly and I mean constantly have issues. It constantly freezes and just stops for absolutely no reason, so annoying, and the company sling is ripping ppl off of their hard earned money and not putting money back into the company to produce a quality entrainment service.

Channels are great, especially NFL Red Zone, NFL Network. There is a glitch however, between every single show on every single channel, which causes Sling to miss the end of one show, and the beginning of the next. Contacted them many times, and they are aware. They simply do not fix the issue. Sling sucks because the have way too many small technical issues. Another example, DVR, constantly stops pulling your recordings. Contact them, they fix it, same things next day. I'm done for good.

Sling never worked, so I cancelled. Apparently, cancelling is rather sketchy because one of their FAQs is about being billed after cancelling. Talked to a supervisor in customer support and found out refunds are not something Sling does. So, irresponsible company with a product that needs specific requirements, buggy billing software, and a no refunds for lack of service policy.

I took the bait only to find out that I was lied too. Read the small print. In order to get local tv you need to buy a hd antenna that they will gladly sell you. What a scam. A streaming service that wants you to install an Antenna. No money back ever. Even if you used it for only one day.

After chatting with a representative for over 30 minutes, they finally told me that unless you live in Nevada or California, they will refuse to delete your account, and will essentially hold on to all of your data forever.

You pay for a package then Channels don't show up on the guide. You go to their chat site and get asked the same questions within 3 chat boxes only to be disconnected from chat by someone. Why are the allowed to hide a phone number? Why doesn't the FCC/Congress do their job. Oh wait government due their job is like asking sling to do theirs, useless! Maybe some lawyer should generate a class action against all those companies, maybe then it'll get solved.

It's not a service, it's a scam!
When you sign up the website works perfectly. When you go to downgrade or cancel your subscription it suddenly stops working. Button press won't do anything! Only way to do that is to wait on their chat for 15-20 minutes and then chat with rude agents.
Stay away from this scam!
