New internet TV service coming to Xbox One

4.7

Microsoft announced that a new internet TV service called "Sling TV" will be coming to US Xbox One owners in early 2015.

A partnership with Dish is bringing the new subscription based live internet TV service, which will offer streams of major cable channels. The cost of the service will be $20 per month with channels including ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel.

The new service will launch on Xbox One first, then possibly followed by other devices. All Xbox Live members will be getting an extended one month free trial at launch.

Honestly if its just that basic of things then it would be better to just go with a TV provider. As you would need internet to get to watch it most Internet providers offer a package deal with tv and internet

Craigyy Xbox has so many TV services now it's hard to keep track of whats what...

This really isn't a TV Service, but a package deal. You cant watch actual live TV with the other apps.

This I cannot wait for, buying the day it launches.

this has some of the channels i like to watch but i would really like to see them open it up to more sports and family channels it would not be that hard and i think they would get a lot more business from families that way especially for only 20 dollars a month
