A standout feature of Sling: Live TV + Freestream is its selection of international content. With a broad lineup of international programming available in 22 languages, the app appeals to a diverse audience. It's suitable for families with diverse backgrounds or viewers seeking content beyond English.
Sports, news, and entertainment
With Sling: Live TV + Freestream, sports fans can stream live coverage of the NBA, NFL, NASCAR, and more, and view highlights to catch up on key moments. Beyond sports, the platform features trusted news channels like CNN and ABC News Live, as well as lifestyle networks such as HGTV, Food Network, truTV, and Bravo for reality shows, cooking, and home inspiration.
Families will find plenty to enjoy thanks to a selection of children's channels, including Disney Channel and Cartoon Network. Beyond live TV, you can browse a library of more than 120,000 on-demand movies and shows. You can even rent the latest blockbuster releases and purchase live pay-per-view events, eliminating the need to juggle multiple streaming services for different types of entertainment.
Users can record live broadcasts to watch whenever it suits their schedule with the 50 hours of DVR storage included with the plan. Those who need additional space will have to upgrade to Unlimited DVR. This is one area where the service falls behind, as many major live TV streaming services now include unlimited cloud DVR at no additional cost.
A flexible cable alternative
With its broad selection of live channels, free streaming content, and extensive on-demand catalog, SLING: Live TV Shows Movies offers something for nearly every type of viewer. The DVR storage could be more generous, especially when many rivals now include unlimited recording, but the service makes up for it with customizable plans, international channels, and the freedom to stream without hidden fees or lengthy commitments.
