What is Sling TV?
Here ’s the deal : Sling telecasting is what ’s know as a multiplatform TV distributor , or MPVD , in industry idiom . You pay a fee every month , and Sling TV have you approach to a bunch of linear canal in payoff . It ’s a bit like cable TV in that way , only via the cyberspace , and you have a niggling more control over how much you spend every calendar month , and also which conduct you end up get .
And that ’s because Sling TV is build up on two tracks — Sling Orange , and Sling Blue . Each has its own bent of base channels , with a estimable piece of intersection ( and a smattering of channel that do n’t overlap ) . Each track is enough affordable in its own right , and you get both tracks together at a act of a discount rate ( which is what Sling will strongly encourage you to do ) . Each trail also has its own set of attention deficit disorder - ons , call Extras , that allows you to take out your service with even more channels in even more categories . You ’ll just want to mind what you ’re spend , because all those add - ons can add together up over time .
What is Prime Video?
Then there ’s Amazon Prime . Or , rather , Prime Video . The former is the one-year subscription from Amazon that gets you all sorts of thing , like faster shipping , a full bit of music , and , yes , television . And Amazon Prime Video is the overhaul that has a caboodle of motion picture and serial available as part of that subscription , and even more uncommitted for rent or purchase . ( And that ’s in addition to Amazon Prime Video Channels , which is an solely unlike nut of wax . )
So in that regard , Sling TV and Amazon Prime Video are somewhat like . But otherwise , one has nothing to do with the other .
you could get Sling TV in the results if you search for it on Amazon . That ’s becauseSling TV has an appfor deviceslike Amazon Fire TV , and Amazon Fire tablets . The app itself is free on those platforms . But if you want to watch Sling TV , you ’ll require to have a Sling TV subscription . you could , however , still check Sling Freestream on the Sling app that ’s uncommitted on Amazon machine . That ’s Sling ’s innocent , advertizement - supported option that does n’t ask a subscription at all . You just terminate it up and determine what you want , and in exchange you have to watch out the occasional piece of publicizing .
And if you want to keep an eye on something on Amazon Prime Video , you ’ll need an Amazon account .
