This thing is messing up all the time for me, weird menu stuff where it keeps changing the channels when I'm not pressing anything, buffering too often, lots of garbage. I'm giving it a chance, I'll probably give it a month of payment but if it stays this way I can't keep doing it.

I have the trial. And yes that shyt be fukking up all the time crashing, logging me out buffering etc. I don't think I'm going past the trial.

I also tried PlayStation view its a much better set up and performs better but the packages are a bit more expensive than I'd like to pay.

I've been using it for about 3 weeks now. There are quite a few bugs. There are times when i'll turn on Sling TV and it will take a good 5 mins just to start streaming. Sometimes it won't allow me to change the channel. And It does buffer a lot. I've had times where I would be in the 3rd quarter of a basketball game then all of a sudden the game would just start over. :dead:

With all that said, I'm gonna keep it. I really don't watch much TV, and I like how the basic package carries all the stations I do watch (espn, tnt, tbs, amc, hgtv). Plus, it saves about $40/month off my cable bill.:takedat:

I had that restart issue the other day trying to watch a soccer game. Pissed me off to no end. If they can get the shyt figured out, I'd be happy to pay the $25 a month but as it stands it's a mess.

Yeah, it's really annoying when it starts to buffer during the middle of a game. I watched the NCAA tournament on cbssports.com just to make sure i could watch with no interruptions. I'm sure it'll get better after they fix a few things... at least I hope so :francis:
