OT: Anybody tried Sling TV?

It went live yesterday and they are offering 7 days free. I've tried it out on a PC, phone, and tablet and it is pretty slick. All the ESPN networks including SECN. Like Netflix, it takes a few seconds to buffer up to HD quality but its not buggy. I think its $20 for the base package and another $5 for the sports pack. There is a kids pack with the Disney stuff if you have little ones. I'm sure it's a data hog if not on wifi but you can adjust the picture quality to cut down on data. It would be pretty easy to cut the cable cord with this and OTA networks. Now if I can just figure out how to get SECN+ without Comcast.

SECN+ is available using the WatchESPN app

One interesting addition to Sling TV's service is that people who buy the $20 per month base package will also now be able to use the WatchESPN app at no extra charge.

Not yet but will be soon. I got Comcast out of my life a few weeks ago, using a home made antenna for all the networks and have had Netflix for awhile. Is SECN+ included in it w/ regular SECN for the extra $5? It will be a must for Sept - Jan w/out cable
