SlingTV – my report

I watched the game on the trial too, and unfortunately my experience was mostly terrible.  It worked fine on my mobile phone, but on two separate Chromecasts and my desktop PC it constantly went to super low quality or just cut out completely for a couple of seconds about once every minute or two.  I don’t believe it was my network because it worked great on my phone using the same network connection and other streams work well.

Needless to say, I’m not going to keep the subscription as it wasn’t much better than an unauthorized online stream for me which is unfortunate because I would be willing to pay for the service if it was actually superior.

And just now I find out I can’t use my Chromecast to watch Monday might football because of a rights agreement that won’t allow me to use a smartphone to watch that game.

I really wanted to like Sling TV :/

Try using your Sling login on the WatchESPN app on your phone. And stream to your Chromecast. I can’t do that on my firetv, but it should work through your phone.

I have Sling and like it so far. I had quality issues until I plugged my android box directly into the network, but it works perfectly well through my FireTV (which is on the other side of the house). I am happy to have PAC-12 network with a bunch of on-demand games. That was a good surprise.

I just have Orange plus Sports, so I don’t have FoxSports. Note site what I will do this weekend for Arizona and for the ASU game. Probably use USIS’ stream on UStream.

But so far Sling works well for my needs.

I be your streaming issues @norm are because you have a slow connection, not because of Sling or the device you are using. Probably works ok on your phone because it’s a smaller screen width and doesn’t take as much throughput to stream on it.

I’m on a Roku and it is great. We are on the trial too and will probably do the full Orange/Blue/Pac-12 gig until football season ends.
