At least it doesn't for us trying to watch American Ninja Warrior. We have tried several different episodes as well and two different Rokus (a new Premiere model and a 3 model that is connect with ethernet). I have 100Mbit internet service and tests show it isn't the issue. Each time the...

How are you seeing your monthly usage with Charter?

Well it's $200 for the unit and $150 for the lifetime guide sub so that puts you at $350 -- then you still need to purchase a USB drive and a streaming device (like Roku, FireTV, etc.) So it's really makes it no cheaper than the $400 TiVo option that the poster didn't like. That said, Tablo...

We were an early adopter with Sling TV and I tried my best, but my wife just couldn't accept the lack of DVR so we switched to a Charter bundle (TV + internet) earlier this year. If Sling TV's DVR service is decent, I would switch back to them in a heartbeat (and try their Blue package this...

Well, we did end up leaving Sling TV earlier this year because of the issue I outlined above. I see now they are about start beta testing a Cloud DVR -- that sounds like something that could lure us back to Sling TV.

Yes, but I am having trouble getting a clear picture of what all is in each pack; I keep getting "Sorry we are having trouble...try again" errors on their website. That said I think they have spread the channels around in such a way that it wouldn't make sense for a family like mine.

I do expect some ebb and flow with deals, but they seem to just be trending to get worse and worse. Like I said, maybe DISH is focusing more on retaining customers now. By starting this thread, I had hoped people would chime in to confirm or deny that theory. All I know is my past experience...

Despite what you think, you don't know much of anything about me. Congrats on acting like a jerk!

Are they? I can no longer find the "normal" pricing on their website. That makes it really hard to compare.

That isn't what I am thinking -- instead it is giving me a bad vibe with DISH.

Every time I consider coming back to DISH, I look at their intro-pricing deals and surprisingly they keep getting worse and worse. When I first looked, it was 2-year lock at $50/month (for the 120+ package) and that included DVR service. Then it went to a 3-year lock but the price no longer...

They never offered it but would have only accepted with a 12-month contract (or less).

Nope, not when adding TV to my Charter internet effectively gave me a lower price!!! That and I read about DISH offering much better deals to a lot of other people. I had been with them for over 7 years, never paid late, perfect credit, and had been out of contact for at least couple years...

WOW -- the best they would offer me was $15 off for 24 months (or $25/off for 10 months). Oh well, I decided to leave... Did they call you with that offer or did you call them?

See below for info on which channels have replay and on demand. The biggest pain with that stuff -- and what will likely cause me to leave SlingTV -- is that if you get part way through a show and then have to stop watching it (or in my wife's case you fall asleep) then you want to watch it...

My wife hates this aspect even more than I do. You see she often falls asleep watching TV. So when she goes back to watch the end of a (3-day replay) program that she missed when she fell asleep, it is a royal pain in the arse! This very well might end up being a dealer-breaker for us keeping...

When watching a "3-day replay" channel, if watching a program that is currently live you can rewind it to the beginning then fast-forward through commercials as you are watching it (until you catch up with live of course). But when watching a program replay, you cannot really use fast forward...

So did you ever figure out what happened? I assume they fixed your account/service?

Never say never! :)

With Xbox One soon adding OTA capability, they really need to figure out how to get Sling TV content into Xbox's "one guide". And wouldn't it be cool (after that was done) then the Xbox One could record Sling TV streams (on it's internal HDD) for viewing later?

I kept having problems too. If they cannot provide what I am paying for then why am I paying? NOT HAPPY!

I was watching Sling TV for several hours that evening and didn't have any problems -- BUT I was switching between TBS and TNT all night and not staying on one channel for long periods of time. Hopefully Sling TV can work out their problems when watching one channel for several hours.

I too think they are going to have to add that capability for all channels (save maybe the ESPN ones since you have access to WatchESPN for replays) for most people to be satisfied with Sling TV.

Maybe I am wrong, I do not forsee Sling TV offering OTA/locals. That is a lot headache they avoid by not having to work out all those contracts (not to mention the expense).

Did you watch the Arkansas/Wofford game in its entirety? That's the one where I had the multiple problems. Being I could stream it from the other source without any issue, I think the problems are pretty damning of Sling TV. When I had the biggest problem (the odd "not allowed" error) I did...
