Choosing the right Sling TV plan will require some thinking on your part. We found some odd differences between the Orange and Blue packages. For example, ESPN and Disney, two of the most popular cable channels, are available on Sling Orange, but not on the more expensive Sling Blue. Also, FOX and NBC channels are on Sling Blue, but not on Sling Orange. This goes against traditional TV plan pricing—where you get all the channels in a cheaper plan when you pay for the more expensive plan.
The cost of Sling TV depends on which package you pick. For just $5 more per month you’ll get almost double the number of channels. Sling TV is cheaper than DIRECTV NOW or PlayStation Vue. Though both DIRECTV NOW and PlayStation Vue offer more channels.
In the end, it boils down to your preference and your budget.
