We reviewed Sling TV recently and found it to be a compelling alternative to cable television that differentiates itself well from the best TV streaming services (opens in new tab), by offering a more traditional TV experience, but without the actual need for cable. The one downside that we did flag up was that the costs can become as steep as cable subscriptions if you choose to buy the extra channel bundles. It seems that Sling heard what we said, because it has since dropped a completely free version of its TV streaming service. This isn’t an introductory offer either, it’s completely free and there is no credit card sign up or registration required to start enjoying Sling Free. The library of shows is nowhere near as extensive or up to date as Sling TV, but that’s to be expected. Some shows also offer a season for free, while the rest are locked behind Sling TV’s paid subscriptions, offering you a taster to see if it’s worth subscribing. If you’re curious about Sling TV’s paid services (opens in new tab), check out our Sling TV review (opens in new tab) to find out our full thoughts.
