Sling TV Customer Insights

1. Not much has changed apparently.It's a great app for watching cable TV at an affordable price, the only bummer is not being able to skip commercials on DVR recordings, at least give us the option to pause live TV during the commercials, I can live without the option to skip them during live TV watching but atleast let's pause during commercials.

2. Never gets choppy even at highest quality.... But why if I rewind after an on demand ad, do I have to see the ad one more time?? Code it so it knows I've already seen the ad and can continue watching if I decide to rewind or even pause! Local channels volume goes up and down randomly please fix!!Great TV, but very buggy app.

3. I wish they'd get their act together.Been a customer for over 10 years.. it used to be worth it, but now it is not much cheaper than basic cable and has basically become what it was created to avoid - another overpriced, barley functional streaming platform.

4. This is a big company?UPDATE: trying to add an add-on but it is trying to FORCEe to update to the $5 a month DVR Service.

5. I can after about 10 minutes each time of trying to get it to function without getting stuck at the beginning and playing the same ads in a never ending loop.

6. Sling sucks.Saving me so much each month, and on top of that i get more channels and the features and quality are outstanding.

7. I can stream it on 5G (but that uses data and I can't cast) just can't stream it on any Wi-Fi, and I've tried multiple.Worked fine for a month.

8. Trying Sling and within a week started seeing issues.

9. It hasn't really been fundamentally redesigned since day 1.I used sling years back and remember how unreliable it was.

10. Otherwise great app, and it's affordable.Unusable. As far as trying to cast to your TV from a device, the app is still in development.

11. It either has an error message at the start, or it plays for a minute and says the stream is unauthorized, or it just crashes.
