Does anyone have it and is it worth anything?

I had it. Streaming sucked. No issues streaming from HBO GO and Netflix, so I dropped it.

We've been using Sling for 18 months with zero issues.  The device that it streams off of plays more of a role in how well it performs.  Initially used a FireStick which occassionaly had to buffer.  The XBox One S with a hardline is perfect.

Youtube has a live TV service now. I'd look at them.

Edit to add using roku tvs.

Did the Sling TV trial and wasn't impressed. I've read that there are a lot of streaming issues, although I didn't have any that I remember during my trial. I went with Playstation Vue on Amazon Fire TV, it rocks. https://vue.playstation.com/watch/

Had it, ditched it due to massive streaming issues.

It never worked right for us on an Apple TV 4, nor Amazon Fire.  Replaced it with Sony Playstation Vue, and never looked back.

I just recently did the 7-day trial, I'm going to keep it for the time being at least.
My primary interest in it is motorsports... the live channels run fine.
I too have had spotty trouble with streaming but that's not really what I have it for.

My son as a PS4 console, so I might look into the Vue subscription.

Just a heads up. You don't have to have a Playstation Console, to run Playstation Vue. I run it on Amazon Fire TV, and I believe someone else stated they run it on Roku. I've got both, but I don't think I added it to the Roku's in my kids bedrooms.

I did the 7 day trial and it worked fine. I called to cancel cable and after trying to sell me other packages they finally told me I could select 10 channels of my choosing and they threw in showtime for $20.

I got it when comcast dropped the yes network.  I liked it alot and for $20 a month it is a good deal.  I am watching fear the walking dead on it right now.

I have had it for 2 years. No problems at all.

Their service works the best on the Roku platform.  I've had issues with an Xbox One over wifi, Amazon Fire stick, and windows PC.  That being said, I also recently found out my old wireless router was causing most of my streaming problems with Sling TV.  With the new/better router, it's been practically perfect.

$20 a month with no contract is great.

I signed up and got a free Roku.  I have had it for about a year and a half now and have no plans on changing anything.

I subscribe for AMC to watch Better Call Saul.

Aside from Seinfeld and some other shite, it sucks.

PSVue is much better. I tried Sling but it was laggy. Tried DirectTV Now as well.

PSVue is the best of the three IMO.

Have had it for a little under a year now. I stream using the Amazon fire stick

I started with Playstation vue, and it was awesome. Ended up switching from that to Sling due to room mate wanting a particular channel. Whatever.

Sling sucked ass for several months. Awful buffering, crashing, load times, were all terrible. They did some patching and for the past 3 months or so, it's been working great.

I prefer Playstation vue, but, sling is a lot better now.

Does it run as smooth as netflix or hulu or pretty much any other streaming app... no.
