What is Sling TV, and how can I watch it?

Sling TV is an option that sits firmly between cable or satellite viewing and a typical on-demand streaming service.

It allows viewers to enjoy many of their favourite live channels without the hefty subscription commitment. A slightly smaller selection of channels with a lower price tag is an advantageous option for those who would like to supplement their Netflix or Prime Video viewing.

Firm favorites as AMC, CNN, NBC, TNT, ESPN, Bloomberg TV, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Fox, Disney, Lifetime—and plenty more—are available over different packages, or the entire collection is included in the complete bundle.

What you do get, however, is an abundance of live sport, news, and entertainment, including many of your favourite titles.

If you can’t find something specific that you can’t live without, there are also options for single-channel or multi-channel add-ons. Those include all sorts of sports, news, children’s viewing and international viewing packages.

There are also add-on options for single and multiple device streams. There’s one for Cloud DVR and DVR Plus, enabling advanced live pause control during your programs.

Sling TV is a fantastic option for anyone who wants some additional conventional live content without having to cough up for a cable or satellite service they’d be tied into for longer than they care to be.

It’s got an attractive interface with plenty of easy to find content. Used to supplement on-demand services or for overseas viewers who’d like an alternative method to catch some of the major US channels, Sling TV is a great option.

How can I watch Sling TV with StreamLocator?

StreamLocator makes Sling TV think you’re in the US, so it releases all of its channels and viewing to your device.

No complicated settings or software installation required

Our plug and play system doesn’t require you to install any software on your viewing devices, as many do. You don’t have to add or amend DNS servers or settings. Once activated, it’s always on, and always ready to access the channels and streams that you want.

It works with all of your devices. That includes your Android or Apple smartphones and tablets, all the games consoles, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast and more. It’s the ultimate all-rounder.

You’ll receive your smart hub when you sign up for your subscription. It plugs into any available port of your existing WiFi router and delivers exactly the same Internet service as you would usually receive. Except, now, you’ve got access to all of those geo-blocked channels.

Anyone in your home can access a different service, from a different a country, on a different device, and StreamLocator will manage them all at the same time. Or if you want to watch Sling TV on multiple devices, you can do that too. Now nobody has to miss their favourite program ever again.

How to watch Sling TV from outside the USA

Sling TV prevents viewers from outside the US, accessing their content by geolocation blocking. It pinpoints where you are in the world, and then apologizes to you for being outside their required region, and restricting your content.

To view Sling TV, you’ll need a workaround, and that means disguising your location and providing an alternative address in the USA.

How to register for Sling TV from outside the USA

Once StreamLocator has switched your location, signing up is as straightforward as it would be in the USA.

The only real issue is that many providers require you to have an American credit card and billing address to pay for your subscription.

The best way around not having one is to use StatesCard! -- It’s a virtual prepaid card that works with all US streaming services and comes with a US billing address. Plus it's as simple to use as any other card.

Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch Sling TV from outside the USA?

It’s acknowledged that the primary methods to get around geo-blocking are via VPN or Smart DNS. However, each of these options has its limitations, advantages and disadvantages.

Both of these systems provide layers of security designed to protect users. VPN is great for when you’re out and about using shared networks or public WiFi. If you need to stream TV and movies from overseas, though, when you’re at home, there’s only one choice.

StreamLocator uses a combination of technologies, so it’s always the best option.

Whatever a server needs, to be fooled into giving up its content, that’s what StreamLocator provides.

And almost always, it does all of this without you even knowing what it’s up to.

How to unblock Sling TV

Unblocking Sling TV’s channels and content is simple when you use StreamLocator. The first thing you need to do is plug the smart router box in. You can use any open port of your WiFi router. Then, there are a few simple steps to activate your account, and that’s pretty much it.

However you choose to view the channels, select the new STREAMLOCATOR network from your WiFi options, the rest is done automatically. Whether, on your Mac, PC, phone, console or any other Internet-enabled device, you've got seamless access to Sling TV streaming on multiple devices.

Does StreamLocator allow me to watch Sling TV for free?

No. Sling TV requires a valid subscription to access its packages. If you don’t have a subscription to any of their services, they do offer a small selection of free content, and that might be enough to satisfy your needs. For the rest, however, we’re afraid you’ll have to pay.
