Just cut the cord and trying to figure out how to stream BTN- hard to understand Sling options. Am I supposed to opt for the Blue + Orange Plus Sports package? Feels like a lot for just one channel I want.

I had sling with blue and orange but i dont think it had BTN. The better option is fubo tv which has BTN and more sports channels than sling. Similiar price, but you can also get a free trial and then cancel, the trial was 7 days and now its 3. Still with a couple of credit cards and email addresses, you can even swing a few free trials.

I wish I knew the option as we use our son’s sling account but we have all the BTN and FS1/2

FWIW, I stream using AT&T Now and the package with the best sports channels is pretty good. I get BTN, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, MLB, NHL, YES, Golf Channel, Tennis Channel, and probably a couple others I’m forgetting.

It wasn't on Sling a couple years ago when we trialed it for a week and then ultimately went with Hulu, but perhaps Sling negotiated BTN into one of their packages. Hulu's price increases have me starting to shop around again for an option that includes BTN.

Thanks folks- will just experiment with Hulu this time. But suspect I will have to keep looking.

Hulu's sport coverage and interface has been great for me. My first season with it after PS Vue was discontinued.

I took Sling to get BTN for the RU fB games.44 bucks a month for four months.Then I cancel.Not interested in any other BTN sports.If BB gets really good and makes a tournament at years end ,then, I will re-evaluate

That's similar to YouTube TV. I've had it for two years and love it. With YouTube TV, you get BTN, ACC, SEC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network, MLB Network, NFL Network, Golf Channel, Tennis Channel, Olympic Channel, NBA TV, and even soon to be dead NBCSN.

Does anyone else have streaming issues with Sling? Don't know if it's our internet or Sling service, but every so often the video quality drops tremendously like it's a bandwidth issue but without additional buffering.

But not YES and MSG, which mattered for me.
