Picking Your Slinging Weapon: Sling Orange or Sling Blue?
Hold on there, tiger! Don't just blindly pick a package. Sling TV, in all its glory, offers a choice: Sling Orange or Sling Blue. Here's the lowdown:
-
Sling Orange: This is your happy place for all things Disney, along with a bunch of other cool channels. And yes, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3 are all included! Perfect for the family or the die-hard Disney (and sports) fan.
-
Sling Blue: This package is more for the channel flippers. You get news, some cool lifestyle channels, and... well, no ESPN. Sorry, blue lovers, gotta switch to orange for the sports goodness.
The good news? You can always upgrade to Sling Orange + Blue to get both packages and the best of both worlds (and four streams at once!).
Setting Up Sling TV: Easier Than Running a Marathon (Hopefully)
Once you've picked your Slinging weapon, it's smooth sailing. Here's the gist:
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
- Head over to Sling.com and sign up. It's like ordering pizza, but way less messy (hopefully).
- Download the Sling TV app on your favorite device. Phone, tablet, smart TV – you name it, Sling TV can probably Sling it.
- Log in with your shiny new Sling credentials.
- Fire up the app and find ESPN! You can use the handy guide, browse the sports section, or just search for "ESPN" – it's not hiding under a rock.
And that's it! You're ready to devour all things sports with the glorious power of Sling TV.
Bonus Tip: Sling TV offers a free trial, so you can test drive it before you commit. Like a test drive at a car dealership, but with less pressure and definitely no creepy car salesman.
