Why You Might Just Hate Sling TV

Ethen Kim Lieser at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * Other than the low entry price point, Sling TV offers a pretty pedestrian TV experience. Cable TV packages, even on the streaming side, seem to be getting more and more expensive by the day. For Sling TV, it could no longer hold out on its own price hike, as it did so several months back. Now, Sling TV is no longer a shoo-in for those bargain hunters out there. With a $30 entry-level package and a $45 combo package, perhaps spending that extra $5 or $10 will land you a TV service that isn’t so convoluted in both its pricing and channel lineups. ... more »

He looks at it square in the eyes and wants you to accept it: "a house of cards has fallen. An entire world of illusions, self-deceptions, and sophistries has died. We’ve come to the end of a very long str... more »
