    Reminds me of http://www.ustvnow.com/ but with a different lineup of channels (add: a lot more possible channels if you pay more).

    For someone that doesn't have cable it's decent enough. it's not always 720p but /shrug. It just came out I'm sure it'll improve over time.

    Just announced that AMC will not be available at launch but will be part of the core programming a few weeks later.

    Just a heads up. Sling works 1000x better from amazon fire tv than it did from phone to chromecast. And Fire TV is 10000x better than Fire Stick. Also you get $50 off Fire TV if you sub for 3 mo with Sling.

    Yeah, AMC is now on Sling. <3 Service is awesome. I love Food Channel and HGTV. This is so much better than actual cable. Everything streams in HD now too.

    Sling TV being available on Roku is a win for me. This plus HD Antenna = no large cable bill

    That's exactly what I do. Most the other channels from cable are fluff for me anyways. Travel and Food are what I watch the most with it. And some HGTV sometimes.

    I am seriously contemplating signing up for this but I can't decide between the free Amazon Fire Stick or the 50% off Fire TV. I get that the quality of Fire TV is better than the Stick, but I'm also thinking about the ease of mobility of the Stick, especially with tailgating during football season. And free sounds a lot better than 50% off.

    Idk, the firetv is small and roku sized. So I wouldn't say its less convenient to tailgate with.
