Attn Cable Cutters, Sling TV now has AMC & IFC as part of its regular package

That's right, for $20 you will get AMC and IFC along with ESPN cnn, tnt, cbs, hgtv, etc...

For those who have been asking about it, it streams fairly well. The app can be a little buggy on IOS. The best way to stream is Roku. Crystal clear HD for $20 a month, no contract.

I apologize, I couldn't find the original sling TV thread

No Comedy Central? SYFY? Nat Geo or History?

 

I don't understand the fascination. 20 bucks a month for 16 channels (7 of which I wouldn't watch/never heard of), with additional tiers for 5 dollars more. Or 40 dollars a month for over 70 channels (28 of which I don't watch). or 50 bucks for over 200 channels.

I wish cable or satellite would offer an al-acarte. I hate paying for 100 shopping channels when all I watch is network, espn, nflnetwork, and history.

Its up to media content providers which is why it may never happen.

A media company like Viacom owns Comedy Central, MTV, Nick etcso if you need Comedy Central only you have to get the MTVs that show zero music,Catfish marathons or mostly Bleeped modern hip hop videos along with Nick if you have kids or not.

More ad dollars charged if it is shown on more channels. So ala carte is not happening soon.

I have it and still am trying to feel out if I like it.

I certainly don't miss direct tv

And I don't miss TWC all that much.

I did the 7 day free trial of Sling a few weeks ago and choose not to renew. I thought it would be awesome, but for some reason I just didn't use it as much as I expected.

To be fair, I only have Chromecast, so to get it on my tv I had to use mirroring, which of course eliminates use of my phone while watching. If I had a compatible streaming box it may have been a different story.

Sling is offering half off of Romulus when you prepay 3 months.

I may pull that this week and rock and roll.

150 + a month cable bill is getting old.

Unfortunately this is true. 

 

Imagine if they had a tier a la carte package deal:

 

3 channels

6 channels

12 channels

 

 

All I need is HBO, AMC, Nat Geo, Palladia, Food, and Travel

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
