So You Started a Movie...But Let's Be Honest, You're Never Finishing It
We've all been there. You fire up Sling TV, brimming with enthusiasm to conquer that cinematic masterpiece you've been eyeing. Maybe it's a documentary about the mating habits of the Patagonian Mara (hey, no judgement!). Maybe it's a Nicolas Cage classic (because, well, Nicolas Cage). But then...life happens. The dog needs a walk, your phone explodes with cat memes, or suddenly you discover a hidden talent for competitive thumb-twiddling.
Next thing you know, you're knee-deep in reruns of Friends and that movie you totally intended to watch is mocking you from the dreaded "Continue Watching" section. Fear not, fellow Sling TV adventurer! Here's your battle plan to banish those cinematic ghosts:
Operation: Delete!
There are two main battlegrounds for this war: your trusty web browser or your Sling TV app.
- Conquering the Couch Potato Front (Using the Sling TV App):
- Infiltrate "My TV": Navigate to the mysterious land of "My TV" on your Sling TV app. It's like your personal TV scrapbook, filled with past conquests (or attempted conquests).
- Spot Your Target: Scan the "Continue Watching" section for the movie you meant to, but definitely did, watch.
- Engage the Elimination Protocol: This is where things get tricky. Different Sling TV devices might have slightly different methods, but generally, you'll need to select the movie and then find a magical "remove" or "delete" button. It might be disguised as a gear icon, a bunch of dots, or a tiny trash can – Sling likes to keep us on our toes.
- Dominating the Desktop (Using the Sling TV Website):
- Launch Your Web Starship: Boot up your favorite web browser and boldly go to the Sling TV website. Log in, Captain!
- Seek and Destroy: Scroll down with the determination of a Klingon warrior until you find the "Continue Watching" section.
- Eradicate the Evidence: Similar to the app, there should be a way to remove the movie from your list. Click that button with the same gusto you'd use to phaser-set a hostile Romulan vessel to stun.
Mission Accomplished (Probably)!
Congratulations, Sling TV warrior! You've successfully removed that movie from your "Continue Watching" list. Now you can go forth and explore new cinematic frontiers, guilt-free.
But Wait, There's More! (Optional Pro-Tips)
- Embrace the Skip-to-End Method: If you're feeling particularly savage, you can always just skip to the very end of the movie you never finished. Sling TV will then graciously remove it from your list, assuming you "watched" the whole thing. (We won't tell anyone your secret).
- The Preventative Strike: Here's a crazy idea: How about only starting movies you actually intend to finish? Just a thought.
Now get out there and Sling responsibly!
