I use Sling TV to access live TV channels without being tied down to an annoying cable contract.
While it may be one of the oldest and most established streaming services of its type, its offering is different compared to what you can get with other services. It is arguably the best low-cost streaming service at just $35 per month.
Most of the industry offers full-range plans for roughly $70 per month: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or FuboTV). But Sling TV has competitors in the low-cost area like Philo.

How To Pause Your Sling TV Subscription
Pausing your service can be helpful if you aren’t entirely sure whether you want to get rid of it but you’re tired of paying for the monthly subscription. You can pause your subscription for 1, 2, or 3 months.
However, if you have a promotion, are paying via gift cards, signed up through Roku or an affiliate partner, or are paying using Amazon Pay, you cannot pause your subscription.
To pause your subscription you’ll need to follow steps 1 through 5.
Then, instead of ‘Cancel Subscription,’ click ‘Pause Subscription.’ From there you will be prompted to select how long you want to pause your account (1-3 months).
Once you select how long you want to pause your account, click ‘Next.’ Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize pausing your subscription.
Can I Still Watch Live TV?
Whether you choose to pause or cancel your subscription you will still have access to all Sling TV features included in your package until the end of your billing cycle. If you have chosen to pause your subscription, your account will become active again after the selected period.
If you have canceled your subscription completely, you’ll always have your Sling TV account. You can use this same account to get Sling TV again in the future by simply renewing your account. (Note: If you cancel during a free trial, access to Sling TV will be terminated immediately.)
Just because you’ve given up your Sling TV subscription doesn’t mean you can’t watch Live TV without cable. There are plenty of alternatives for Live TV available for cord-cutters.
Besides, Sling TV has 20+ free live channels you can access without registration, as well as an on-demand content library.
