We tried Sling TV on a Roku 3, an iPad 2 and an iPad mini. If you want to watch Sling TV on your television, you might need to spend $40 to $100 for a streaming media player, but that's still a significant savings over the multiyear cost of a DVR or a cable box. It should also work on Android and Apple iOS devices. At launch, Sling TV should work with streaming media players from Amazon and Roku as well as with the Xbox One, Google Nexus Player, and smart TVs from LG and Samsung. Like many other streaming video services, Sling TV works through an app that you can install on multiple devices. No launch date for Sling TV has been announced, but the company assured us it's coming soon. Premium channels, such as HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime, are also unavailable on Sling TV. Sling TV doesn't include any of the broadcast networks, so you'll need to hook an antenna up to your TV to get ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Sling TV is the closest service yet to à-la-carte cable television. This $30-a-month package is incredibly tempting for anyone who's ever wondered why they're paying $50 and up (plus a monthly fee for a cable box) to get hundreds of channels when they watch only a few regularly. We tried the full suite of channels, which includes Sling TV's two $5-per-month add-ons: Kids Extra (Baby TV, Boomerang Disney Junior, Disney XD, and Duck TV) and News & Info Extra (Bloomberg, Cooking Channel, DIY, and HLN). The basic Sling TV package has 12 channels, including Cartoon Network, CNN, Disney Channel, ESPN and ESPN2, Food Network, TBS, and TNT-a cleverly designed list of some of the most popular basic-cable channels.
