There’s a couple channels that do this, amc being one of the ones that I watch the most (BBC America is another). It will keep doing this stuttering. I’ve tried pausing and letting it buffer but doesn’t change. Anyone else have this issue with this channel?

@slingstevie any idea when Multiview may become available on Apple TV? I think the sling experience is best on Apple TV, but this is a sorely missing feature.

National NBA broadcast coverage looks a bit different again this season following network right updates. Here is a breakdown of where games are broadcast throughout the week and how to access them on Sling starting October 20th.

Weekly NBA national broadcast schedule

• Tuesday: Peacock and NBC doubleheader (NBC is available on Sling in designated local markets with Sling Blue or Sling Select)
• Wednesday: ESPN doubleheader (available on Sling Orange and Sling Essentials)
• Thursday: Prime Video doubleheader (not available on Sling)
• Friday: Prime Video doubleheader (not available on Sling)
• Saturday: Prime Video afternoon games (not available on Sling); ABC and ESPN evening games
• Sunday: ABC and ESPN afternoon games (available on Sling Orange); Peacock and NBC evening games (NBC is available on Sling in designated local markets with Sling Blue or Sling Select)

Base plans and flexible options

Depending on which games you want to watch, Sling offers a few different ways to access national broadcasts:

• Sling Essentials: Covers ESPN broadcasts on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
• Sling Select: Provides NBC coverage in available local markets for Tuesday and Sunday night games.
• Sling Essentials & Select: Combines core channels from both plans for lower-cost national coverage.
• Sling Orange & Blue: Combines the primary channel lineups for broader coverage across ESPN and local NBC markets.

*Sling Select and Blue packages include ABC in select markets.

What team or matchup are you tracking on the schedule this season?

I've run into an issue where my PC desktop browser version of Sling where I mostly watch it has vanished my local FOX and NBC affiliates as of yesterday. I was able to watch them just fine last week but now I don't have them despite subscribing to the correct plan. The Support line was unhelpful as hell, telling me all sorts of basic fixes. Their conclusion was my IP address somehow changed? Has this happened to anybody else? It's working fine on my TV and Phone apps.

What’s the consensus - hd antenna, Air Tv or both?

And what Air Tv style do you prefer - AirTV (AirTV 2 or AirTV Anywhere)? I’ve been reading conflicting reviews. I know it’s probably a subjective thing, but I want to determine whether it really makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

I want to watch the English Premier League game on NBC this weekend - I know it’s on Peacock in 4k HDR and should be on NBC too. I just can’t seem to work out if Sling carriers NBC in 4k or not.

I recently just got sling with airtv2 with a cheap RCA antenna, but I can barely get a reception. Trying to get any local channels is a struggle, I’m think a better antenna might help.

Last few days the app seems more snappy and the guide screen looks different. Anyone else notice this? I’m not complaining.

Is there any way to turn off the pop out of video when I press the menu button on the Apple TV now? I just want it to go back to the Home Screen, and not keep the video going in a small window.

Sling double charged my bank account for months and is refusing to refund me. I will be going into litigation with them. Do not deal with this shady company. I have come to find out that I am one of many people that they have done this to.

Why does Sling think their startup sound is attractive? I hate it and think it sounds like a toilet flushing.

I had no idea how compressed the OTA signal was on sling until I did a side by side with an HD Homerun. Night and day difference. The Homerun provides a beautiful picture. I now split the antenna signal between both units and watch Homerun at home and use sling on the road when I travel. I remember when Sling had options to select for quality of signal, was it better back then on high quality? I can’t imagine what the low quality options provided.

I have the Orange/Blue package. On both my Roku TV and using the standalone Roku the guide no longer shows recent channels, only "Recommended For You". Is this a recent change? Player version is 9.6.31, UI is 0.0.1122.

My Sling TV subscription recently expired. Today I wanted to watch some of the MLB Playoff games and went to renew using a gift card I had recently bought. I could not find the option "Add Gift Card" as I have used in the past and also mentioned in their help center. I then spoke with an agent on their customer service chat who initially told me my gift card code was invalid even though I had just scraped off the PIN seconds prior and offered to bill me by credit card. I asked why my code was invalid and got a response "our system won't let me redeem it please reach us back later" and the agent then instantly left the chat. Has anyone else had issues with this. I guess I will not be watching any baseball today...

I've been toying with the idea of cancelling Sling due to it becoming nearly unwatchable. I have a Roku TV where I've always been able to watch Sling without any issues (well, few issues). But lately, it keeps freezing up and not allowing me to even exit the app without having to turn off the TV.

I finally decided to cancel, but instead I put it on Pause. My current billing cycle starts over on the 7th, so I thought I would set up a few shows to record today that I could watch later on when maybe the kinks get worked out. I remembered I could also access Sling through my ONN app. And voila, Sling is working just fine on the ONN app.

So, what would be causing Sling not to work on the Roku app?

I’m getting both Fox Sports and ESPN which never happens.

Has anyone had this show up when trying to sign i. through the espn ? Lately I have been getting errors every Saturday before kickoff games and today this one showed up and will not let me sign in…

I was attempting to sign up for day pass this morning and received this message in the chat when attempting to get an agent because the day pass links would not work:

"An Important Update Regarding Day Passes Sling was built to give our customers the ultimate control over their entertainment, and Sling Passes delivered on that promise for millions. Though Sling Passes are no longer available, we look forward to continuing to innovate and showing our customers new ways to experience the content they love"

It would have been nice if they had announced and removed the links before discontinuing the service. That was frustrating.

I believe the current contract between Dish and Disney expires this year, likely this month.

Dish/Sling would want:

1. Access to ESPN Unlimited (others already have them)
2. Unbundle ESPN from other Disney channles (YouTube TV and DirecTV already offer sports only packages)

Disney/ESPN would want:

1. Carriage fee increase
2. Discontinue day pass

It appears that the day pass program is already terminated.

Are Sling/Disney going to enter into a new contract soon?

If so, are we going to see a new bundle and/or price increase?

I enjoy Sling Scapes way too much. This one is a banger. Still waiting on Bigfoot to show his face.

I know in the past you were able to switch from Blue to Orange and then back easily.

Is that still doable with essentials and select? I only want TNT briefly for a MLB playoff game and then switch back to essentials/select for college football.

My family is a perspective customer considering switching from Hulu + Live TV due to a recent price increase. I was wondering how people generally feel about the service (good and bad) before jumping ship. We are mostly a hockey household, so our RSN is a must have. Our hockey also airs on ESPN, TNT, and sometimes NHL Network. We also watch football, so CBS, ABC and NBC are also a must. We could care less for for boring filler junk on most other services, but do recognize the unfortunate reality that the channels we need are behind bloated packages of channels we wouldn't even touch if bored.

Within the last week or so, some channels, like Danger TV and Torque, about 30 seconds after you tune to them the sling app locks up, then crashes a few seconds later, then causes Fire TV to reboot.

Yes I know Sling and the Fire Stick already have a rough relationship, but crashing the whole thing? I've done all the usual steps like clear cache, uninstall, reinstall, etc, etc.

Pretty much the title but I literally JUST seen the sonic channel and suddenly it’s gone. Is gone temporarily for maintenance or is it gone for good ;-;
