Sling TV comes with two flavors of base plans — Sling Orange, and Sling Blue. But which one is the best for you?
Sling TV does things differently. It’s not like the other live streaming services (also referred to as linear services because everyone’s watching the same thing at the same time as served up by the networks) because it doesn’t just have a single plan. In fact, it’s not even that it has multiple tiers of plans.
No, Sling TV is still as close as you can get to a la carte TV—even though it is also definitely not that. You can’t pick and choose your channels on Sling TV, but you can pick and choose bundles of them.
Sling TV starts with a choice of base plans: Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Neither has anywhere near as many channels as you get from Sling’s competitors. But on the other hand, neither costs anywhere near as much. And therein lies the strategy: Pay for what you want, more or less, and then build out your streaming plan with a series of add-ons called “Extras.”
But which is “better?” Sling Orange or Sling Blue?
As with all things streaming, the real question is this: Which one has the channels you want to watch? The two plans have a good bit of overlap, with some channels shared between the two.
