![]() Most of the movies cost between $3.99 and $6.99 to rent, but some of those recent releases which had to skip theaters and landed on streaming for $19.99 (like the Tracee Ellis Ross starrer The High Note) are also available as of late June 2020. To make your search easier, if you don't quickly see the film you're looking for, you can filter the page views by movie rating and / or Rotten Tomatoes score to try and make sure you get something that's just right for you. ![]() If you head to the Rentals tab you'll see some of the latest movies which have become available, but you can also use the Search feature in the top right corner (near your Settings tab) to look up anything not on the Rentals homepage. Last, but not least, YES, you can get recently released movies and a whole host of other movie rentals through Sling. Now, this might have more to do with the fact that I have a not-so-new television (bought it refurbished in 2015), but since I've never used the app on any other TV, I can't say for sure whether it's my set or the app causing the issue (though other apps on my TV do tend to work fine). I have to close the app and go back in, deleting what I've watched before playing any more content. ![]() But, if I've watched those couple of hours I mentioned above (hopping from recorded show to recorded show), the app usually doesn't let me delete the shows right away. This takes significantly longer to happen if I decide to say, start the Food Network's Friday Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives marathon and leave it on there most of the day, but poor functionality can still veer into a common-ish area.Īs another example, I frequently let shows pile up in my DVR and then do a little binge on the weekend. For me, I've noticed that if I've logged more than a couple of hours on Sling, especially if I've been surfing around to various channels to watch a bit of this and a bit of that, the app will stall and then quit on me. OK, here's the only thing about Sling TV that I haven't been crazy about, but which I can't prove is totally an issue with the app. The Sling App On Your TV Might Be A Little Glitchy The Guide can be toggled between grid view or channel view, with the latter allowing you to pick a channel from your list and see all the programs coming up in chronological order, so if you've opened the app wanting to watch a particular station you don't have to bother with the other options available right then. The top navigation bar also has the On Now tab so you can see what's playing when you log on (which are arranged by category, such as Sports, News, Movies, and TV Shows), your Guide (which shows everything on each channel by time of day), as well as Sports, On Demand and Rentals. As you see which channels you gravitate toward, you can edit the ones that show up in your channel list, so you're not inundated with content from providers you don't watch. The first thing you'll see when you log on is the My TV tab, which has bars you can scroll through for all of your channels, the recordings on your DVR, a list of programs you started but haven't quite finished, your favorite shows and more. Once you sign up for the packages of your choice, you have several ways to investigate all of the viewing options when you fire up the Sling app. Your Favorites On Sling TV Are Pretty Easy To Navigate In addition to all of that, you're not limited to domestic channels, as they have a number of International packages, too. And, among the Sports package, you can get channels for specific teams (Detroit Pistons), sports (Tennis Channel) or more general networks. Each add-on offers five or more additional channels and costs $5/month, with the exception of the Sports Extra, which will set you back $10. ![]() I have the Lifestyle Extra (which added DIY Network, Cooking Channel and more), but you can also opt-in to the extras News, Kids, Hollywood, Sports, Heartland, Comedy and Premiums (they have nine Showtime channels available!). Meanwhile, Orange offers options such as Freeform, three ESPN channels, Motortrend, and Disney Channel.Īs I mentioned earlier, you can add-on smaller channel packages to get more of the content you're looking for. I've got Blue, and get channels like E!, Food Network, HGTV, History Channel, Bravo, Cartoon Network, and Syfy. ![]() So, what kind of channels are we talking about with Sling? I've found that you can get some of the most popular channels with either Sling Blue or Sling Orange, and some of the channels in each do overlap, while others are only available in one package.
