Craving CBS on Sling TV? We Got You (Even If Sling Doesn't)
Ah, CBS. Home of your favorite shows, that itch-inducing cliffhanger at the end of every episode, and... well, let's be honest, sometimes questionable fashion choices on reality TV. But hey, no judgement here! We all have our vices.
The problem? Sling TV, that charming budget-friendly streamer, doesn't carry CBS in its basic packages. Fear not, drama queen (or king)! We've got a few workarounds that'll have you watching Big Brother competitions and NCIS reruns in no time.
Option 1: The Ol' Reliable Antenna
This one's a classic, folks. Remember those spiky things on top of houses? Yeah, those are antennas, and they can pull in free local channels, including CBS in most areas! It's like magic, except involving physics and stuff.
But wait, you cry, what if I live in a concrete jungle with signal reception weaker than my WiFi password?
Then fret not, my friend, there's a solution...
Enter the AirTV Avenger!
This nifty little device from Sling TV buddies up with your antenna to boost that signal and stream your local channels, including CBS, right onto the Sling TV app. It's like Captain America for your TV reception, except hopefully less prone to getting frozen.
Option 2: Embrace the Standalone App
Sling TV might not have CBS built-in, but that doesn't mean you can't subscribe to CBS separately! Download the Paramount+ app (CBS is under their umbrella these days) and sign up for their own streaming service. This might cost you a bit extra, but hey, at least you get access to exclusive content and, you know, the joy of watching Survivor without Sling commercials.
Bonus Round: Channel Surfing with Friends
Let's be real, sometimes you just gotta watch reality TV with your besties. If a friend or family member has cable or another streaming service with CBS, consider a good old-fashioned watch party! Bribe them with pizza, offer to do their chores, or unleash your most dazzling puppy dog eyes. The possibilities are endless (and slightly embarrassing).
There you have it, folks! With a little creativity and maybe a strategically placed antenna, you can be enjoying CBS on Sling TV in no time. Now get out there and catch up on all those crime procedurals and reality show drama!
