You are the douchebag. Hell you lose your entire weak arse point by having SWITCHED to VUE.



Sure you have the right to your opinion. I have the right to point out how wrong it is when it comes to Sling.

First you claimed I had crappy internet which was wrong. Now you call me a fanboy when I don't own a playstation. Keep up the good work.

Nope. Right now I pay $60 for internet. I can get internet and cable with dvrs for $100 for 2 years. Probably another $10 to $15 in taxes. In 2 years I would have to cancel or the price would go up. I'd Vue were $35 like y'all pay, I would go for it. But I haven't had any issues with sling so for the price it's the best value.

Vue 100x better than Sling. I would have gone back to cable instead of Sling and Vue makes me forget about cable altogether.


Vue has to be viewed from home, I can't watch it via phone unless things have changed.

I will reiterate that once VUE is bogged down with tons of subscribers, my review could change if their network can't handle the influx of subscribers.

I want to be able to watch content away from home. I had Sling for a bit and could do it, but I can't with Vue. I may switch back to Sling when football season rolls around.

I hate on sling only because of the Vue option for me. I used sling last football season and was thrilled to be able to watch ESPN networks without paying for all the worthless cable crap.

So sling is still better than paying cable and I imagine vue will at some point have similar device use options. Until then, nothing wrong with using sling and sticking one finger out at the cable folks.

The long term problem is they are both losing money. Price increases are in the future.

It never ceases to amaze me how people start out as cord cutters and wind up with essentially a poor substitute for cable and pay as much for it as the original basic cable. 


I save $100/month. And Vue is not a poor substitute for cable. In ways I like it way more.

Yup. I save $105 a month, roughly as it would always change with DTV, and I don't miss a single channel... A few years ago it would be wgn for cubs games but MLB screwed that up with their rules anyway.

The great thing about sling and Vue, cancel at will. No equipment to return and no long talk with a sales rep.

This would be a major selling point for me even if the price was roughly the same as cable.
