Understanding Sling TV’s Streaming options

Sling TV, launched in January 2015 by Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH), is a live television streaming service designed to offer a more affordable and flexible choice to traditional cable and satellite TV. It operates on a tiered system, wiht Sling Blue and Sling Orange as base packages.

The Sling Blue package typically includes channels geared towards entertainment and news, while Sling Orange focuses on sports and family programming.
