Live TV With Sling
Although it seems like the hip upstart of the streaming world, Sling TV is actually the oldest live TV streaming service. That may explain why it is so unique. DIRECTV STREAM, FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV — they all offer plans that are based on what the cable companies offer. Sling goes its own way.
Sling TV starts with low-cost base plans: Orange (ESPN, Disney) and Blue (Fox, NBC). You can then build on them with different channel packages, over 40 specific channel plans, and the best foreign-language options in the industry. Sling allows you to get the channel lineup you want rather than weighing you down with large plans will with channels you don’t care about.
You also get 50 hours of cloud DVR storage with Sling TV. If you love channel-surfing, this may not be the way to go. But if you know what you want and you don’t want to spend a lot of money, Sling TV is the obvious choice.

FAQs
Does Sling TV offer ABC?
Sling TV does not offer ABC but it does offer all the sports that air on ABC including the five bowl games that will be broadcast there. This is because ESPN3 shows all ABC Sports events live. And Sling TV is the only streaming service that offers ESPN3.
Can I watch the bowl games for free?
Most of the bowl games air on ESPN — and one on ESPN2. These are cable TV channels and they are not free. You need to get them through a paid streaming service. Six games appear on over-the-air local channels — five on ABC and one on CBS. These channels can be viewed for free with an antenna. If you are interested in this, Sling TV makes it easy to integrate with your streaming channels. Check out its service!
