"The best value in TV today is Sling TV plus free live locals," said Jon Lin, VP of product for Sling TV. SLING TV is making it easier to watch local broadcasts on LG Smart TVs, without ever leaving the SLING TV app. Roku, meanwhile, is doing something similar with its fast-developing live/linear program guide, surfacing OTA channels alongside licensed live/linear networks within the app’s guide. And with 200+ channels, SLING has something for ever. Local channels are then accessed through app from network-situated devices ranging from iOS smart phones to Roku streaming boxes and sticks. SLING is a streaming service with the best of live TV, both free and paid, streamed to you on any device. Unveiled on January 5, 2015, at the Consumer Electronics Show, the virtual multichannel video programming distributor aims to complement subscription video on demand services. Last year, for instance, they debuted the AirTV 2, a device that connects to an antenna and sits on the user’s WiFi network. Sling TV is an American streaming television service operated by Sling TV LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dish Network.
SLING TV APP LG TV LICENSE
If Sling were to license ubiquitous local access to the major broadcasters on all of its tiers as, say, YouTube TV has, its price point would be a lot closer to $65 a month than $30.ĭish and Sling have been working on porting OTA channels into the app environment for several years. ABC is available on both tiers as a $5-a-month “broadcast extra” add-on.ĬBS locals aren’t licensed at all by Sling TV. It has a slightly different, more news- and less-sports focused selection of cable networks, with no ESPN. Now, it has taken over the TV: When the TV powers on, the screen flashes as WebOS comes up, and SlingTV instantly starts.
