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.

Edgy Its a good idea pretty cheap for the consumer and with many people not watching tv that much including myself would rather pay less or even tell your parents and have them pay less, eventually making the console more family friendly by making the parents use the Xbox One to watch tv.

Maybe if it had. Good selection of channels. Hopefully there will be tons more.

Edgy Wow they wanna take over soo bad.

Who does? Dish? This is Dish's service and I'm sure Microsoft are paying them to have it on the One.

No i mean with Xbox trying to add stuff they dont need to in hopes to make money.

This is a pretty good deal if they can get CNN, History channel, FX, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and a few more I cant think of.

This looks really good for people that dont want to pay for cable but can still get some great channels.

Hmm.

I guess trying it out for a month wont hurt, but $20 for a handful of decent channels doesn't sound too appealing.

I like it that it's cheap. If someone uses the Xbox One as their cable box, they'll save a drastic amount of money.
