Sling offers two tiers, Blue and Orange, and if you're a sports fan then Sling Orange remains the cheapest way to watch live ESPN shows like SportsCenter. Instead of a cable box, you connect a media streamer (like Roku or Apple TV) or game console, or just use the Sling TV app on your smart TV (or phone, tablet or computer) to watch. This is live TV, just like a cable or satellite TV service, except it's streamed over the internet. What the heck is Sling TV? It's a service that allows subscribers to watch a collection of live and on-demand TV channels on their TVs, computers, tablets or phones.
If your main priority is saving money over cable, it should be the first such service to check out. In fact we awarded it our Editors' Choice among budget live TV streaming services, surpassing cheaper competitors and undercutting everyone else. Sling TV ( $35 at Sling TV) was the first live TV streaming service - appearing in February 2015 - and while it spawned a number of competitors it's one of the cheapest, and the best, ways to cut the cable TV cord.
