Sling TV picture quality

I have a Apple TV 4 and I see sling TV is on there now. I really want playstation vue but who knows how long until it is available on the App Store. I would like to get sling TV since they have alot more channels like E! and bravo now so my wife will be happy but I'm not sold on their picture quality. Every video on YouTube I seen their picture quality looks like crap. With all the new updates they have done has the picture quality improved any?

Don't know about now but it wasn't very good last football season. It was good enough that I didn't feel the need to go back to cable but it wasn't great.
I did the 7 day trial of Vue a couple of months ago and the quality blows Sling out of the water.
Having said that, I'll be interested to see if they still have the same quality with a much larger customer base.
I know, doesn't answer your question. The answer to your question is
1.Get device that has Vue
2.Profit

I don't mind the quality, really depends on what kind of internet speeds you get and what device you are using.
I used an Xbox one at first and the quaLity wasn't there. Switched over to a fire TV and it got significantly better.

i've had sling on a firetv since its inception, and it's always been clear HD. some of the ESPNs are highly compressed-looking, but still HD. sling uses about 4 mbps for HD.

I had Sling for a while but it just kept locking up every so often and it wouldn't "click" into HD. It was like standard def TV quality back in the 90's.

Not really. I got the ATV4 this weekend hoping it would improve from the firestick. it launches cleaner and the UI is lightyears better but it would still pixelate and freeze on me. Better than the firestick but still severely lacking. The eyeroll i got from the wife when i asked her to stop checking facebook on her phone because it was messing up the TV was pretty epic.
I have not hard wired the router to the ATV yet and plan to do that tonight to see if it improves.
Still not bad enough to make me go back to cable but they have some serious issues. They were first to market but if Vue ever comes to the App store or better yet when Apple rolls out their streaming TV app i think Sling is toast.
ETA: better than the firestick but still not very good.
