Dish’s thinking here is that people can get local channels for free over the air, although you will probably need a rooftop antenna. Q: How do you get local channels through Sling?Ī: Sorry, no local channels. You feel that if you pay for TV, you don’t want commercials you can’t skip or fast forward through commercials on Sling. Or you view favorite shows after the original air time on a different pay service like Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu.
Or, you’re used to watching shows on demand and record them on a DVR (Sling doesn’t come with recording capabilities). Sling TV relies on Internet to get live TV shows to your home. You’ll still have to buy the basic service before you can add a tier.Ī: Your Internet service is slow, capped and terrible. Others, like DIY Network and Boomerang, will be part of special tiers that will cost $5 per tier. There are 12 channels in the basic $20/month plan (ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, ABC Family and CNN). So, I thought I’d offer a quick FAQ to help readers like Hans Desai, who asks, “How do you get local channels through Sling?” and a guy named Mark, who wonders about whether there is new potential for TV service in Evergreen, which had its over-the-air TV service disrupted when the nation switched to digital broadcasts.Ī: Yes - and channels include commercials. It’s unlike pricier cable plans that include 300 channels you don’t watch, but the caveat is you need reliable broadband Internet, which Dish doesn’t really offer. The $20 monthly offering from Douglas County’s Dish Network offers ESPN and a few select channels. Sling TV, which has not yet publicly debuted, has a lot of people talking about this alternative TV service. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
