Over 100 live channels from SLING Orange, SLING Blue and the 4 Extras Deal are available, plus free access to SHOWTIME®. Starting today, those new to SLING TV can register for the SLING Fling event and watch for free from 5 p.m. ET to midnight, Feb. 9-14.

Our goal is to give everyone the chance to explore the benefits of live streaming with SLING TV, and join the millions of SLING TV subscribers who save money and enjoy their favorite sports, news and entertainment.”
The SLING Fling event, which coincides with National Cut the Cord Day, introduces new customers to over 100 live and on-demand channels, from SLING Orange and SLING Blue (a $50 value), Kids Extra, Lifestyle Extra, News Extra and Comedy Extra (a $13 value) and SHOWTIME (a $10 value). SLING Orange and SLING Blue offer top sports, news and entertainment channels like AMC, A&E, FS1, TNT, Cartoon Network, CNN, TLC, HGTV, History and more. Plus, as an added bonus, viewers will receive 50 hours of free DVR storage.
SLING TV is also offering new customers their first month of SLING Orange or SLING Blue for $10, a $25 discount. If they would rather get more capability instead new customers may also choose to prepay for their first month of SLING TV at $35 and receive a free AirTV Mini streaming device. Before doing that though, The Streaming Advisor recommends that you hook up an antenna to your TV and see if you can get channels clearly enough to warrant the extra equipment. In general it is very convenient to be able to access broadcast channels in the Sling TV guide with a good set up.
