Q&A
Question: Does Sling TV have commercials?
Answer: Yes. Sling TV is just like watching the same channel live on cable or satellite TV, commercials and all.
Question: Where can I watch Sling TV?
Answer: Almost anywhere! If you can connect to the Internet and have a phone or tablet app, you can watch Sling TV.
Question: Does Sling TV have a DVR?
Answer: Yes. Sling TV has Cloud DVR. The Cloud DVR records your shows on a Sling TV server, so a DVR box is not needed. But the DVR blocks the recording of certain channels like ABC, ESPN, and Disney.
Question: Is Sling TV really A La Carte TV?
Answer: Well, yes and no. Yes, to lower the price Sling TV really cuts down on the number of channels that you must buy in a package. And No, because, the true definition A La Carte is being able to order separate items. This would mean that you could buy each channel that you wanted for a few bucks each.
Question: Do I have to sign a contract?
Answer: No! And that is awesome! Sling TV is a “no hassle cancel” at anytime.
