I heard about a streaming provider called Sling that costs $20/month. You get live ESPN, TNT, TBS, CNN, Food Channel, HGTV (about 20 channels) But it currently does not support PS3 or PS4 and you need either a XBox One or a Roku or Amazon box/stick. Why isn't Sling available on smart TVs like Netflix is? You don't need a Roku stick or Amazon stick to access Netflix as long as you have a smart TV. Is Sling different? I thought as long as you should be able to access the Sling app through the smart TV, you should be ok. But when I called Sling support, they told me that a Sling app is not available on a smart TV yet. I find it interesting that they have a Sling app for the computer/tablet but not for a smart TV.
Support said Sling has to be supported to a smart TV thru a Roku or Amazon device. Maybe the app for smart TVs are in the works, just like PS3/4. Anyone know if Roku or Amazon stick or box is better? The stick is smaller storage and doesn't have functions like voicecontrol but seems more convenient without needing a HDMI cable. It basically just plugs into the TV's USB port.
