I'm excited a brand like Apple is getting involved. It will help expedite the unbundling process. However, the 25 channels they are promising better be the best collection of 25 channels. Otherwise, at a $35 to $40 price range, it would offer little incentive to leave cable.

I am staying with Sling at $20. Plus I have Hulu Plus and Netflix and OTA HD channels.

Same here Panama. Except I have Amazon Instant Video instead of Hulu. I'm saving $600 a year.

I also love they're adding A&E and H2 (actual history shows, History Channel has gone down hill.)

One has to wonder how long they can keep adding channels and keep it at $20 a month though. You'd think it will eventually cut into their profit margin too much.

How's the Watch ESPN access work for Sling? Do you get ESPN3, ESPNU and ESPN News? Any / all of them?

I have the sports tier on sling and have yet to find an event I don't have access to on WatchESPN.

You get the ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPN 3 with basic. You'd need to add the sports tier to get ESPN U, News, SEC Network.

Me neither. Your internet must suck, FitBud.

I have my amazon fire tv hardwired to my internet router and I have excellent internet. ( typically over 50 mbps)

Not sure why this happens but it does happen often.

It takes mine 3-5 seconds for the channel to come up when I change channels.

Maybe a second or two on mine. Not much different than when I change channels OTA.
