We just cancelled Sling last month.  I felt kind of patronized by their advertising phrase: "A La Carte TV," since they have two bundles, just like cable does.  So, I found myself paying for CNN and Bloomberg, even though I only watched AMC.  If was truly A La Carte, I'd only have to pay for AMC and maybe TBS.

I've got Sling (blue) and have not missed cable one bit. Saving $90+ dollars per month.

What kind of device are you using Sling on?  I was using it on a Roku.  And, I agree, it beats the heck out of cable.  I also like the improvements that they have been gradually making which allow you to stream shows that you have missed. 

When I was looking for a new DVD player, I looked for one that supported Sling, but all the salesmen that I asked about it didn't think they had a DVD player that supported it.

Yes. A Roku.

Where I'm moving the choice for internet is Comcast and a slow local outfit. Adding a 125 channel TV plan to Comcast's gig fiber adds $20/mo. That's less than Sling, since I have to have the internet for Sling.
