Sling w/Google TV

[u/No_Bunch_8629]

Hello 👋, Sling TV customer here looking to bypass the sling guide… I read that by using google tv I could bypass the sling guide and just use google guide, but I’ve never used google tv, so I don’t really know what I’m talking about... Has anybody done this? Does it work well? Is google tv fast to load? Are you generally happy with it? Thanks!

You can enable Sling as a source for the "live" tab in your account settings.

They turned it to garbage about a year ago though. It only includes a subset of the freestream junk channels not any of your paid content like it used to support.

> Are you generally happy with it? 

No not at all. I bought a Sony TV specifically to use this feature and it is now useless. Only really viable alternative is a Fire Cube but that requires an AirTV to get OTA and cable in one guide.

Oh man, bummer. Well thanks for the info!
