I paid for it this month and had it and opened the app and it is back to 200 hours now! It dumped some of my movies.
What is going on!?
I'm using Roku Ultra, Sling app version 8.144 build 18835.
This is the first time since I was given Unlimited that I've seen the Delete button next to each episode. I know others have reported seeing it, intermittently. I've been able to delete episodes on iPhone app all this time. It looks to me like Sling's intention is to allow deletes, and they are working towards it.
Deleted shows do get sent to Trash properly - marked with 2 days left. (Shouldn't they have 9 months lol?)
Do they ever publish Release Notes?
I just had a weird experience with Sling. I signed up for the Blue plan with the $11 sports extra. The site clearly said the Blue plan was on offer for $23, my cart said $34 total, but when it came through my card it was for $56.99. I contacted Sling and they said there is no offer and cancelled my order. I wonder what kind of game they're playing with a phony offer.
Considering getting it but don't have 80$ right now
I was hoping to get promotional offer by trying to cancel my current Sling subscription. I ended up cancelling it for real. This is the email message from Sling.
We’re sad to see you go. This email confirms you’ve successfully canceled your Sling TV subscription. You will be downgraded to Sling Freestream at the end of your current billing cycle on 02/07/2025 09:08pm MST.
Just want to make sure, this message meant I have my current subscription until 2/7, correct? I hope I can receive promos in the coming days. Also, what does Sling Freestream actually mean? Do I get to watch CNBC Mad Money? This is the only program I use Sling subscription for, sadly. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I'm perplexed by.
I have Sling on my 2 main TV's ....and of course my phone. One TV is an LG, the other, a Roku. Sling came pre-loaded on both TV's. My phone uses the app.
I've noticed during ad breaks, that the content is COMPLETELY different on every device. So both TV's, and the app actually air different ads!
But here's where it gets weird.
On the LG - the ad break CUTS OFF a few seconds of programming when the break begins! In other words, it starts about 3 seconds sooner than it should. And....there are MORE ads in the break, making the total time of the break, LONGER. None of this happens on the Roku TV or on the Sling app itself. The Roku begins the break as the program that's airing, comes to a natural pause. It returns to the show that's on, within a second of when the app does. Meanwhile, the LG TV is still running ads for an additional 20-30 seconds!
And one other thing; local ads appear within the breaks on the LG...just as if I'm watching Sling through a cable or satellite provider (which I'm not).
Has anyone besides me every seen this? Is there an explanation that makes sense? Why would the Roku and the LG differ? Do TV manufacturers control this somehow??
I’m a huge sports fan but so sick of paying for live tv so I’m going to just pick one and leave YTTV. I already have paramount plus and peacock. Do you all recommend orange or blue if you had to pick one?
Normally sling streams just fine but past few days sling has been freezing my roku tv
My tv doesn't even reboot, I have to manually unplug and plug back in,
It's driving me nuts, and sling support is completely clueless
Anyone else dealing with this issue?
I noticed this morning they added the Delete feature back on the tv. It changed on my phone as well. So maybe you can delete old episodes of whatever you have on all devices now.
I’ve got an airtv2, and I noticed that it doesn’t pick up a few channels that my TV did when I had the antenna connected directly to it.
I’ve read that the airtv 2’s tuners are weaker than the original airtv unit which was a single tuner device.
So, does the AirTv anywhere have stronger tuners than the airtv 2, or is it similar? Thanks in advance!
My Sling account was double charged this month and I can’t talk to a live person or even have a decent AI chat. Any suggestions for human contact ?
I'm not sure what happened, but I came back from a weeks vacation and I can't seem to delete any of my recordings. I have shows recorded and I usually delete the ones that don't interest me. Today there is no way to delete them. I did some searching and someone said if you watch them you can delete them but I can't even do that. The buttons that used to be to the right of each recording are gone. Has anyone figured this out? I'm on a Roku if that matters. Thanks!
I can't find it. Anyone know? Thx!
So, I was recording the NFL game last night and started watching it like 30-45min after it started. I could not skip ahead until after the recording ended. Super frustrating. My expectation is I could skip ahead and catch up to live but not so. So dumb.
Since Sling doesn’t offer the Fox channel.
It truly sucks that Sling is about the destroy my collection which took years to curate. Many, many pre-code Hollywood keepers and no option to lock them in.
Don't really give a shit about football (hence sling) but I may host a superbowl party just to get some people together and eat.
How do I get the NFL on sling? Curre try have blue with no air tv.
For instance they have teennick and nicktoons but no nickelodeon, nick 2 and nick music
They have mtv and mtv 2 but no mtv classic
I'm sure there is many more that I can't recall right now
Oh that's right they have accuweather and fox weather but no weather channel
Edit: that's right all the discovery channels except for animal planet
I see that I can get AirTv Anywhere off of a website called Ontech for 80$ but I have never heard of Ontech. I need to know if this is a legit site before we consider dropping 80$
Sling sells their own ads that run through most cable type channels. And lately all I’m getting over and over is Will from Will & Grace talking about sick and dying puppies. It’s so overdone that I change the channel. Then I turn off sling. Every single ad break starts the same. So frustrating.
Is everyone getting this same ad?
I've been a part of the program since April or May of last year and haven't won squat.
Since the beginning of January I've been doing the daily spin on the app and haven't won anything except extra entries.
Our Airtv2 hasn't worked for months, what is the best OTA DVR that works with Sling that isn't Airtv2
Once I cancelled Sling and just began using Freestream with my AirTV, the free 10 hour DVR won’t activate. “There was an issue activating your free DVR. Please try again.” Any way to fix this?
Didn't Sling use to have it's own hosted Community Forums?
I was looking for something I posted (on what I thought was their own forums) a long time ago and searched and searched but couldn't find any remnants of there being a Sling hosted community/forum. Am I remembering wrong?
