Sling TV Orange?

[kingdivac]

Anyone have Sling TV Orange for TNT, espn, tbs? How is the quality? Do they blackout games? How's the DVR features/usage?

Thanks.

Years ago. Quality and DVR not up to YTTV quality, but they work. No blackouts, it works the same as a cable or satellite sub would.

I had a short-term subscription to Sling as recently as last year to fill in some gaps. I don't remember noticing a picture quality difference relative to YTTV, but the interface in general was a bit clunky. Probably would have irritated me a bit if I used it as a primary provider, but manageable. The nice thing about Sling (like YTTV) is that you don't have to sign up for a contract. It's month-to-month, if you don't like it, hey, it was only a month.

Thanks, seems to be cheapest playoff alternative currently

It's still the only service that has some semblance of meaningful a la carte. I actually had it when YTTV didn't have the Turner channels, the other was the Pac 12 network, which I'm still not sure if YTTV has added, but they hadn't when I unsubscribed after 3 years.

If you just want playoff basketball for the best price it's the best bet if you don't have a password sharing arrangement.
