Yes. You can use it with your Roku or Chromecast or on your iPad

Single stream per subscription though, so no sharing it to multiple devices at the same time. That's the only real gotcha I've seen so far.

Yeah, I was reading about that... But I wonder... Is it one stream of (for example) ESPN at a time, while another stream for Disney can happen?
Or just one video feed at all?
Cause that would SUCK for multi TV homes.
And I wonder how a full month of nothing but streaming plus normal internet usage will affect internet prices. Or if it's even a factor.

Nope. One video feed at a time.
Not sure its that big a deal for the cutters they are still going to have antenna or Netflix/Amazon/Hulu+ available to the other sets.

One stream - but subscribers will have access to Watch ESPN. So, while the kids are watching Disney, you watch ESPN through a Watch ESPN app.
I still haven't seen whether subscribers will have access to the Watch Disney apps. If so, even better.

So they did say that Sling subscribers will have access to Watch ESPN? I had not seen that.

I had seen a Q&A with the CEO where that was announced, but I am now seeing reports that the ESPN feed is actually the WatchESPN feed (with the ""commercial break" messages), so dual-streams may not be possible.

I can still live with that because that means ESPN3 content. I can work with that in a 2 person household.

Yeah, I can get someone else's password for the Disney apps anyway. Now, if I can only get Comcast to give me a better price for a faster internet connection.....
