SLING TV expands free DVR storage, updates pricing for new customersENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SLING TV, the best value in live streaming services, today expanded its DVR offerings to all existing and new subscribers. SLING TV also introduced new pricing for new customers across its SLING Blue and SLING Orange services and Extras. "A robust DVR feature is a must-have for a premium entertainment experience — customers have told us they want more, and we delivered," said Michael Schwimmer, group president, SLING TV. "By more than quadrupling DVR for all customers at no charge, SLING TV continues to provide the best value for pay-TV in the industry." All SLING TV customers now receive 50 hours of free DVR storage, an increase from 10 free storage hours. The "DVR Plus" option now provides 200 hours — up from 50 hours — of DVR storage for $5 per month, and can be added on to any SLING TV base subscription. All existing DVR Plus customers will automatically receive 200 hours in their storage, starting today. DVR Features
New Pricing for New Customers Starting today for new customers, SLING Orange and SLING Blue base services are each $35 per month (increase of $5 per month). New customers may also choose to subscribe to both SLING Orange and SLING Blue for $50 per month with the multi-service discount (increase of $5 per month). As part of the 1-Year Price Guarantee, existing customer prices will not change through July 2021, when their existing subscription remains active. "Unfortunately, we are forced to raise prices because the television networks keep charging us more, but we fight hard to get the best deal for our custoers. The proof of our commitment is apparent, as SLING TV is still the best deal in the market, keeping our prices much lower than cable and other live streaming services. SLING TV customers can rest assured that we'll continue to offer the best combination of live news, sports and entertainment cable channels at the best value," added Schwimmer. New Pricing for SLING TV Extras
SLING TV continues to deliver the most choice and flexibility at the best value in the industry, saving its customers hundreds of dollars each year compared to cable and other live streaming services. In addition to the expanded DVR that launches today, SLING TV has continued to add value to the service in the last year:
'4 Extras Deal' Free Preview All SLING Orange and SLING Blue customers will receive a free preview of SLING TV's "4 Extras Deal" through Feb. 15, 2021.
