Sling Media

DONT GO FOR SLING… Its a unprofessional company with meaningless service to get money from people. They will tell that unsubscription means account will be inactive. again they will say it will be active till the billing cycle as they need to get money from people. I suggest them to go online dictionary and know the meaning of unsubscription. Its a useless service. Different employees will give different reasons for charges on card.

Don’t bother paying for the 2 day shipping. It won’t arrive on time and they won’t refund you the $ 18. While you’re waiting for your device to arrive you will have to watch it on computer or cast from your phone. It stutters and the words are out of sync from the mouths on a lot of the channels. I have high speed internet so that isn’t the issue. I guess I will see how it works from the Nexus player I ordered through them and update review from there.. when it arrives. that I paid $ 18 for shipping.

I went online to change my service options so as not to be charged for extras I had during my free trial. Though the website showed these services as removed I was charged for them anyways. When I logged back in the services had not been removed as their website previously showed.
When I explained and asked for a refund I was denied and the best I could be offered was to be credited to my account for the money they already took from me.
This on top of the service cutting out every minute or two during a sports stream… I guess this service isn’t what I thought it was going to be. Bad customer support, and an unreliable video feed…
I can not currently recommend this service.

Do not buy a Slingbox. Look at the dates on all the positive reviews. They have outsourced customer service to India and even when the problem is on their servers and has been posted by numerous users in their Forums, the people in India will not even talk to you until you pay the $ 30. They feed you boilerplate garbage like «I can understand how that might be very frustrating to you, sir»
If you own one of these devices please call Sling HQ and tell them they are heading to oblivion if they keep using this support company in India.
For example, yesterday their engineers made some changes on their servers. Now, instead of seeing my TiVo remote control as I always have for the last few weeks, I see a useless generic remote.
And the people in India simply DO NOT CARE. The support people are pretty stupid actually, as this is a fairly sophisticated product.
Until Slingbox improves their support, do not buy their products.
=====================
I have updated my review to 4 stars after hearing from an executive at SlingMedia and their taking steps to resolve the issues preventing me from using the product. Since the updates, I must say my Slingbox works flawlessly and I have had no need to contact the company about anything.
Still ot sure if they are charging for support or refusing to talk to user who issues are with Sling and not their own box.

These guy stink! They give lots of pushback when trying to
cancel the trial subscription. Do NOT give them your credit card.
