I can't even remember the last time I paid for cable. For years, I got by on a rotating roster of Hulu, Vudu, Amazon Prime, and, of course, Netflix, but if I’m being totally honest, there was always still something... missing. Once I had binged my fill of B-list movies and watched all the true crime docs I could handle, I found myself longing for the old TV shows I adored from networks that weren't included in my regular streaming lineup. To my rescue? Sling TV—a streaming service for live TV.

Right now, new U.S customers can sign up for a free three-day trial of the service, which will give you access to Sling’s mid-level Blue plan. Note that you'll need to enter your email address and credit card info, so you'll need to cancel before your trial ends to avoid being charged the regular $30 monthly subscription fee.
This membership gives you access to more than 45 different channels, including Lifetime, E!, Bravo, Cartoon Network, the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel and more. It also allows for three simultaneous streams, so you can watch your favorite reality TV show at the same time that your little one is watching his or her Saturday morning cartoons from another room.
Following your free trial, you can choose to continue your Blue membership for $30 per month or opt for the entry-level Orange membership (also $30 per month), which has less channels but access to ESPN and Disney. Better yet, unlike YouTube TV, you'll be guaranteed to have no rate increases with either plan through August 1, 2021, when you sign up by August 1, 2020.
I actually signed up for the free trial myself and have since decided to keep Sling for good. After being reunited with my beloved Lifetime movies and Ink Master episodes once more, I simply couldn't give them up.
You just may find yourself in the same boat, particularly if you regularly stream without a stick. After testing Sling for a year, we found that it worked brilliantly on TVs with built-in streaming capabilities, like a Roku TV or an Nvidia Shield ($149.99), offering high stability with few-to-no hiccups. As we learned while reviewing the service, Sling can struggle a bit with the Amazon Fire Stick, lowering resolution or dropping the connection at times, but as someone who is both a Fire Stick user and a happy Sling customer, it hasn't been enough of an issue for me to undermine my viewing experience. Still, it's something to keep in mind if you're considering a more long-term commitment.
Sling's interface is streamlined and easy to use, though it does take some time to get used to. Plus you’ll have the three-day period to test it out with your own particular device free of charge, so there's no risk involved.
If anyone needs me, I'll just be over here, binge-watching Bravo...
