HammerTime Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Dropping DirecTv next month and going with the basic sling TV package and adding the sports package for $5. I know you can watch it on Xbox and a few other things, but it would be nice to have a remote of some kind with whatever application I use to run Sling. For those that have/had this what did you use? They offer and AirTv player that is $50. Not sure it's worth it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 But no ABC, CBS or NBC, right? I've thought about Sling but that's been my hold up so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 But no ABC, CBS or NBC, right? I've thought about Sling but that's been my hold up so far. We have an antenna and are able to get ABC, NBC, and Fox without any issues. CBS for some reason is darn near impossible to pick up in our area.

Bengal Maniac Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I have Sling at my place in Woodson Bend at Lake Cumberland. I Sling off my TWC at my place in Covington. But I am assuming you will be using it as your primary source. We tried rabbit ears at Woodson Bend and got nothing. However, to gat the local main channels, if you can get them with rabbit ears, you have a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleluck55 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I had sling and switched to Vue. I use a Roku on each of my Tv's and use the Roku remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they all have their own apps you can watch the shows on or like UKMF said, an antenna for most areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habib Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Vue is a little pricier ($39 + $5 for sports), but I get all the local channels live on it, plus DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stream it thru my Roku. It has built in DVR which is the why I went with it. I use an antenna for my local channels but in NKY, they have channel 12 and I think 9 live streamed, the other 2 are on demand. If I don't catch Designated Survivor live, I can watch it the next day on demand. I pay 34.99 for the sports package but I got an email they are so increasing it $10 a month.

I watch all the pro sports I want for free. MLB, NFL, NHL, Boxing and the like. I use an antenna for local channels ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. We ditched DirecTV a while back.

coldweatherfan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 You can get ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, MY9, & PBS for free thru USTV now. Just go to TV Guide - North American TV Shows, Movie and Series - USTVnow and sign up for a free account. It was originally meant for US military personnel and US citizens overseas, but it is available for everyone. They also have upgrades to more channels. I think it's $19 for the 28 channel package. They are not your local stations, they are based out of Harrisburg, PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
