What’s Sling TV’s Main Subscription Packages?

Sling TV‘s three main subscription packages offer different combinations of unique and shared channels.

Unfortunately, Sling TV’s features also vary depending on which subscription plan you get. Sling TV Orange only supports single-device streaming, while Sling TV Blue supports three-device streaming. Even if you get the combined subscription, any channels that are unique to Sling TV Orange are subject to the single-device limit.

Sling TV requires a separate subscription to its cloud DVR and prevents you from recording programs on ESPN and other channels.
