Sling TV packages consist of two basic channels lineup which they call Sling Orange and Sling Blue. To give you some background, Sling TV is a streaming live television service that has been in existence since January 5, 2015. At the end of Q1 2017, its subscriber count totaled over 1.3 million. It’s a simple concept in which cord cutters have grown to love– skinny bundles. Yes, bundling of pay tv continues, but with smaller and more package options, making cord cutting a way better user experience than traditional cable.

Sling Orange vs Sling Blue

The Sling Orange package is priced at $30 per month (On June 28, 2019, it was raised from $20 to $25). You’re only allowed to stream on 1 device at a time. With the Sling Blue package at $30 per month, you’re allowed to stream on 3 devices simultaneously. View table below for channels list.

You can also choose to subscribe to both, the Sling Orange + Blue plan, for $45/month. Keep in mind, the streaming device limitations still apply to the package channels list even if you combine them, meaning that you can only stream ESPN on one device at a time whether you chose the Orange or the Orange + Blue combo.

If you subscribe to the Orange + Blue plan, you will get 4 simultaneous streams for channels that are available on both plans. The interface is not as user-friendly though. All channels are shown for each package, which makes it a long horizontal scroll to get from Blue to Orange. One other thing to keep in mind is that while some channels are in both packages, like TNT, if you were to watch simultaneously on 4 devices, 3 would watch it through the TNT icon under Blue, and 1 will have to access it through the TNT icon under Orange. The easiest way to find the channel you want to watch is to use the filter option or adding channels to My TV so that it can be accessed easily.

Also, make sure that the “show me only Sling Blue versions of channels in both services” box is not checked on your My Account page. Otherwise, you’ll only get 3 streams for Blue channels and 1 stream for Orange channels that doesn’t overlap with the Blue channels. Who came up with this idea? They definitely need to work on the combo package interface and user interface.
