I finally decided to make the switch from cable to Sling and I'm glad I did. I chose the "blue" plan with DVR and HBO and it is the perfect amount of television for my family for a great price.

I've tried Sling on my android phone, Roku and Fire stick and it runs smoothly on all three devices. I've only experienced some skipping when using it and it's most often during commercials and not during the actual show. I'm not sure why this is, but it doesn't really bother me.

The DVR offers up to 50 hours of recording. I am able to record as many shows as I like at one time even when I have my devices shut off (there are some limitations to what can be recorded I believe, but I haven't run into any of them). Cable only allowed me to record one show at a time and my box had to be running. If I wanted to record more than that It would add another $10-25 to my bill as well as some installation fees, not to mention the amount of electricity the box uses when left running.

Not only that, there are tons of television shows and movies available On Demand!

One unexpected result of switching to Sling has been that we are actually watching television more because there are no longer so many junk channels to sift through to find something to watch. It's also nice to be able to watch cable in every room (thanks to our streaming devices) rather than only the rooms we can afford to put a cable box in. There is a limit to only 3 streams running at a time with my plan, but I doubt that will ever cause any issues for us.

Sling has made television enjoyable for me and my family again.
