ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- SLING TV today announced its enhanced viewing
features that include Live Sports Scores, Apple Purchase
Capability, User Profiles and In-App "One Click" Content Purchase,
giving users more power and control over what they watch, allowing
for a more personalized and unique experience that is
individualized for everyone.
"Our top priority at SLING is to provide our customers with the
best television experience possible. We want to put people in
charge of their entertainment," said Gary Schanman, executive vice
president and group president, DISH Video Services. "That means, we
look for ways to deliver new innovative functions that elevate the
viewing experience and give customers more personalized features
and menus allowing them to control what they watch, and how they
watch and interact with the information available to them on our
service."
New Features:
- Live Sports Scores: Viewers can still access
real-time scores to help them find the most exciting games to
watch, but now they can do it across all the major leagues SLING
carries, including NCAA Football and Basketball, NFL, NBA, NHL and
MLB. SLING has added team records, seeding and ranking, game clock,
live scores and the network the game is on. If the user is a
subscriber they can immediately click into the game, other users
will be sent to a page to add the content. The Sports Scores
feature is built right into the home screen and can be accessed
right next to the video player, so viewers can quickly find the
game or the scores they need.
- Apple Purchase Capability: Now SLING users can use their
Apple ID to buy SLING, manage purchases, subscriptions and add-ons
within the app utilizing Apple Pay. SLING and Apple users can pay
quickly in 44 currencies using payment methods associated with
their Apple ID, access their purchased content on all devices the
app supports and restore purchases on new devices. It also allows
customers to quickly view payment history and manage all their
SLING TV subscriptions or add-ons in one place.
- In-App "One Click" Content Purchase: Free and
current SLING paid subscribers can now immediately subscribe to
recommended content they find through search, the home page and
even on partner platforms. This feature adds convenience and
awareness to our users to find and enjoy all of our great
content.
- User Profiles On All Devices: Enables users to
create personalized profiles that have all their favorite shows,
movies and DVR recordings. The feature allows for up to four
additional user profiles that can be labeled and color-coded to
easily differentiate among multiple users. Other features include
more relevant personalized content on the Home Screen of each
profile, the ability to schedule, manage and watch DVR recordings
by profile, the ability to pick up where you left off with
profile-specific "Continue Watching" and favorite channels specific
to each profile.

for top channels such as A&E, AMC, Bravo, CNN, ESPN, NFL
Network, TBS, TLC, TNT, USA and
