Sling TV

     Last September I was not going to start the football season knowing I was going to miss all the Bowl games at the end of the year because I did not have a cable or satellite television package.  It was time to pick a streaming package, something I've been putting off  far too long.  Not having  cable or satellite television since the early 1990's this was going to be an eye opening experience for sure.  I chose Sling TV at $20 a month.  Sling was much better than I had expected.  For a no contract, no sign up fee and no installment fee,  $20 a month  was right in my budget.  The $20 monthly gets you all these channels
  • ESPN
  • AMC
  • CNN
  • HGTV
  • Comedy Central
  • Cartoon Network
  • History Channel
  • Disney Channel
  • ESPN2
  • ESPN3
  • TNT
  • ACC Network Extra
  • Food Network
  • TBS
  • BBC America
  • Freeform
  • IFC
  • EPIX Drive-In
  • Tribeca Shortlist
  • A&E
  • Viceland
  • Lifetime
  • Travel Channel
  • AXS TV
  • Newsy
  • Cheddar
  • Bloomberg Television
  • Local Now
  • Flama
  • Galavisión
Sling even through in a free $55 free over the air Chanel Master antenna  that works fantastic.  The antenna gives me 25 free over the air channels.  Along with Sling TV I started off September with Amazon Prime $8.25 a month and a Roku streaming stick at a one time charge of $40.  This brought my home video package to $28.25 a month.  For that $28.25 I get the 30 channels on Sling TV, all the thousand of video and television offerings on Amazon Prime and the thousand of free channels Roku offers.  For all you people paying $100 plus for you home cable or satellite listen  up YOUR GETTING SCREWED.
     Fast forward to February  2018  and six months of the $28.25 monthly  video streaming package I put together, it  exceeded my expectations.  But after six months of Sling, I found 90% of what I watched on Sling was sports so I turned it off and will turn it back on in September when football season starts up.  To sum up.  September through February my video streaming package and free over the air will cost me $28.25 a month and March through August my video steaming and free over the air package will cost me $8.25 a month.
     The days of installing an antenna on the roof top are long gone.  I can remember the days when my household was  only able to receive one television channel.  Home video has really changed in 60 years and will continue  to change as streaming goes main stream.
