Sling TV
Sling TV is a sort of panacea for the cord-cutting generation, something we needed but no one was willing to make. It is, however, everything that cable is not. It is reasonably priced. It comes with no strings attached. And there are no salespeople attempting to persuade you to keep your contract. Most importantly, you won't have to forego some of the features that cable has offered in recent years, such as the ability to pause live TV or watch anything that aired up to 72 hours earlier.
Sling TV has two packages as of 2021: Sling Orange, which is more sports and family-oriented and includes access to ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN3, and Sling Blue, which is more news and entertainment-oriented and includes FX, SyFy, USA, and Discovery. If you're a new customer, they're $35 per month each ($25 for the first month), or you can get both for $50 per month.
If the bundled cable selections aren't enough, Sling TV offers a variety of Extras that allow you access to more channels for a monthly fee. These are divided into categories, such as Comedy Extra, Kids Extra, and Hollywood Extra, among others. You will be able to access more channels as a result of this.
Unlike most providers, Sling TV is completely free to use. It has over 5,000 series and films available at any given moment, and you don't need a credit card or a login to watch them. All you have to do is go to the website and start watching!
Sling TV is accessible on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, and Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, Oculus, Roku TV, and select LG and Samsung smart TVs, as well as via the online interface on PC and Mac.
