Sling TVReviews 531

It just doesn't work reliably, and their help pages don't help. We have a very-consistent 150 Mbps connection and Sling drops out regularly. When it's working, it's good, but we seem to have an issue just about every single day we use it. Sometimes the dropout goes away on its own, and other times we just have to give up watching TV. Speed tests reveal no problem when this happens, and often times we aren't even using any other bandwidth when it happens. It's just bad software imo. I constantly hope the next update will fix everything, but nothing has changed so far...

Terrible Service and Customer Service ( Specially Jimmy)... you buy it to watch world cup and it does not even stream for the whole length. And worst ever customer service possible with the most unhelpful unsympathetic robotic people hired for this job. SHAME ON YOU SLING TV for fleecing people of their money so that even if they dont consume your content since your service SUCKS, you still DO NOT RETURN their money and hold them HOSTAGE!

I signed up for a 7 day free trail.
I found out I didn't want the service and when I logged in to my account to cancel it. I was kicked out of the system as soon as I clicked on CANCEL MY ACCOUNT. I logged back into the system and tried to cancel the account the same thing happen. As soon as I clicked on CANCEL MY ACCOUNT it kicked me out of the system again
The next day I tried again and as soon as I clicked on CANCEL MY ACCOUNT I was kicked out of the system. The Next day I was charged with 1 months service fees
I contacted Sling and they told me It was not their fault I was not able to cancel my account and wouldn't refund my fee

I signed up for a 3 month "deal" and decided not to renew. The TV access went blank after 3 months, so I figured that was that. But Sling TV continued to bill me monthly. When I called, they said the account was automatically reinstated on the same day the 3 months was over, because I failed to call (or go online) to cancel. They should have notified me when they automatically reinstated my service dates. They should not have continued to bill me if they were not going to continue to provide the service. They said I should have read the small print... Buyer beware!

Channels are great, especially NFL Red Zone, NFL Network. There is a glitch however, between every single show on every single channel, which causes Sling to miss the end of one show, and the beginning of the next. Contacted them many times, and they are aware. They simply do not fix the issue. Sling sucks because the have way too many small technical issues. Another example, DVR, constantly stops pulling your recordings. Contact them, they fix it, same things next day. I'm done for good.

Sling TV is NOT worth paying even a penny for! Don't waste your money unless you don't really want to "watch" an entire movie or show. I have had Sling TV for over two months now and have not yet gotten to watch one program all the way through without being interrupted by Sling having an error and kicking off. It's incredibly annoying! Guess I'll be checking into Amazon Prime now. At this point having no TV would be better than Sling TV.

After about 1 year of service this is my review. At about 3 PM every single day Sling just stops... I mean the show stops where it is at and then when it starts back up the voices and sounds are slowed down so you can't understand what they are saying and the sound is not in sync with what is showing. It sucks and now I may have to go back to Dish. And no, it is not my internet as I never have problems with netfilx or any other streaming service. Stay away. PS their commercials are stupid too

Tried sling after deciding cable is too much and we need to get away from the TV a little more. Biy does Sling TV suck badly. The DVR complaint is credible. It wont let you pause programming then resume. On mine it rewinds the show all the way to where I paused and then I have to watch all the coercials again. Wtf is that? What A-hole engineer thought that was a good idea. It wont record anything I select. Even if I al watching it and tell it to record it, when I go back, it is never in the dvr section. The Ondeman is just as bad... Why the F when I select an Ondeman title it plays like I'm watching regular TV. You have to watch all the commercials and can't FF or RW. Mine also does this thing where it give you one FF and them it'll say "Not available on this channel". Like every channel says that so it's useless. Anyone denying this is working for Sling. It's garbage service. You pay $45 for Slimg blue/orange so thats like $1.50+ per channel. You can go to DTV or ATT and get 350+ channels in 4 rooms with NFL sumday ticket for $85 which is like. 25 a channel. I gave it a fair try but I am not a fan. It also crashes randomly during shows and you have to restart it. Does that at least 3 or 4x's a day. Just did it right now as I was typing that last line. Such a joke and not worth the money. They just try to push more channels on you with add ons which put the bill exactly where I was before with cable. I think it's time for Cable to make a comeback. Screw Sling

They'll rip you off in a heartbeat. Tried to update from Orange to Orange and Blue and they charged me for both!

Don't bother calling. It's the typical run around, the person who answers can't help, the supervisor won't help and - I love this part - the supervisor has no supervisor! There is no higher authority in all of Sling TV than the one supervisor on duty the day of your call. They won't give you another number for someone higher up, they won't give you an email to contact, they won't give you anything. "Lily" who does not have a last name, was the ultimate and final say in all things Sling TV on the day I called. "Lily" told me I would just have to eat those charges.

She did suggest I look go searching for Sling's TOS and someone in there I can file a complaint. Don't bother. The hoops you have to jump through just to get to it is ridiculous.

Way too many options these days to put up with this bs.
