- Sling TV offers a new way to watch live -tv without subscription
- Customers can now buy a day, weekend or week to the platform
- From as little as $ 5 the new passports are available right in time for the football season
Sling TV gives its customers more control and flexibility over their expenses by offering new ways to access its live TV streaming platform.
The service has launched a new $ 4.99 day passport that allows customers to stream up to 34 channels for 24 hours from the time they buy it. Some of sling TV channels included in the pass are ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, TNT, TBS, AMC, CNN, Bloomberg TV, HGTV, FOOD NETWORK, DISNEY CHANNEL, NICKELODEON JR., INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY, MGM+ DRIVE-IN, COMEDY central as well as much more.
In the event that one day is not enough time, Sling TV has also launched new weekly and weekend passes for $ 14.99 and $ 9.99. All its passports have the option of adding and mixing extras if you can’t access the channels you want, even if these vary in prices: Each package is $ 1 extra for day pass, $ 2 for the weekend passport and $ 3 for weekly pass.
There are seven extras to choose from, including Sports Extra (SEC Network, ACC Network, Espnu, NBA TV and more), News Extra (Newsmax, NewsScare, Oan Network, Law & Crime, Science Channel and More), Entertainment Extra (Paramount Network, MTV, Game Network, TV Land and More) Hollywood Extra (Turner Classic Movies, Sundancetv, Reelz and More), Lifestyle Extra (Hallmark Film Network and More), Heartland Extra (Great American Family, Outdoor Channel, Insp and More) and Kids Extra (Disney Junior, Disney XD, Nicktoons, Teennick and more).
For anyone who does not want to commit to another subscription to one of the best streaming services and plans to see more than one sports game (which would mean that Pay-Per-View (PPV) would not work), these new passes are the ideal middle ground. Because the passes are a one -time purchase, there is no need to cancel as there are no recurring fees. The passports also offer customers the opportunity to still buy PPV events without subscription.
Opinion: Flexible Passport is the perfect middle ground for anyone who swaps and changes their streaming subscriptions
It’s no secret that streaming services are getting more expensive, but you may not know that a lot of knowledgeable shoppers out there cut their TV bills with as much as 71% by jumping subscription. For anyone who is not familiar with the tactics, it involves essentially cancellation or pause services until you have built a large enough surveillance list to reign.
This is one of the best ways to avoid having more streamers on the go at once, but it takes some extra effort to have to switch between multiple subscriptions throughout the year. It also means that you may miss big premieres, which can be frustrating for anyone who likes to be up to date with the latest TV hits.
Enter streaming passes. Sling TV’s new offers forget the need for a subscription, giving customers even more flexibility. It is the perfect in the middle of the road offer between a monthly or annual subscription and PPV, which is limited to live TV events instead of giving access to an individual on-demand title to stream.
Given that Live TV is also increasingly becoming more competitive when companies seem to snap the sports rights for some of the most prestigious tournaments, a new flexible payment option is something I expect will be very attractive to anyone who does not necessarily want to sign up for a platform that will only lose their sport in less than a month.
The passes are essentially another form of PPV, but they give customers access to a full streaming service’s library with movies and shows for a limited period without having to replace more than the price of a cup of coffee. Such a low price point is likely to make these passport even more attractive as there is less a chance to be locked in a payment cycle – and I want to watch Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Rivals do something similar.
