Dish's Sling TV is adding Fox channels to its programming lineup, but they're not going to be part of the existing $20 package. Instead, and this is pretty strange, Sling is launching a new, second $20-per-month subscription package that includes Fox's broadcast network (in select markets only), Fox Sports, FX, and the YES Network.
quote:
The new $20 package — available in beta starting today — can be streamed on up to three devices simultaneously. But here's where it all gets weird: this package does not include any of Disney's channels. No Disney Channel. No ESPN. For those, you've got to stick with Sling's original subscription package, and you'll still be limited to one stream at a time. "We are in active discussions with Dish about their multi-stream Sling TV service but we have yet to reach an agreement," an ESPN spokesperson told The Verge.

for that 20+20, you could just pay $40 to Cox

Sling has a much wider audience

or $35 to vue for 3 times as many channels, nearly double the devices, and way more functionality

Playstation consoles and fire tv devices, sling is so far behind vue it's not even debatable

You're right..but I can safely assume it'll come to ROKU soon enough. That's about the only thing (other than a computer app) Sling offers that Vue doesn't. The consoles cancel out being that Xbox doesn't offer vue.
ROKU's hold a large market of cordcutters, so it's a big deal.

How is the VUE quality...I tried Sling several times, and just have not been impressed..I have more than adequate internet speed, as I routinely stream 4k..I added the channels back to Cox, but for the price and selection of VUE, I'd be willing to try it

Do you have a Fire TV? Just give the 7 day trial a shot if you do. It's really not something you should do based off of someone's opinion.. but I can definitely say you should check it out.

You get a 7 day free trial, Amazon was having a sale on their Fire TV devices. I'd recommend the box over the stick

Total garbage. That is a fact. Quality isn't even close.
I can't wait to use Vue during football season.
Vue is new. As soon as word gets out, Sling is doomed unless they ramp their quality level.
Also, it will be interesting to see if Vue can handle a large influx of customers.

We established that..The issue is that Sling, for now, is available to a wider audience

I would get that but no espn hell no. All me and my family need is all espn channels, bravo, E!, and all Nickelodeon channels and we are straight.

Vue really needs an Android app with chromecast support and a roku app

Chromecast is garbage compared to Roku...I should not have to use my phone to "cast", when I could just use a remote and have what I need
