If you’ve got Apple TV however, there’s an official app for watching Sling TV. Start playing the content in the Sling TV app and select the Google Cast icon. Make sure your Smart TV is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Android Phone/Tablet or iPhone/iPad. Plus, some of the network apps, offer additional on demand content or cool features like multi-cast for example from ESPN on Apple TV devices. Once installed, log in using your Sling TV credentials. Yes, using your credentials to login and stream from any network app will not count against your simultaneously streams. This gives Sling a big advantage on Mac over services such as DirecTV Now and AT&T TV Now which still only officially supports streaming in Chrome (although many users have found it does work in Safari too). Install the Sling TV iPhone/iPad app or Android Phone/Tablet app. So Mac users can choose from Safari, Chrome and Edge to watch Sling TV. In addition, now that the Microsoft Edge browser has been officially released on Mac, you can also watch Sling TV in Edge on macOS. The content is a little different, but the cost remains the same: zero.
Starting today, select Apple TV users will see a new Recommended for You ribbon on My TV that will suggest live and on-demand shows, movies sports. Sling TV's Happy Hour promotion is no longer available, but it's offering a new deal for free TV to take its place.
Unfortunately the official Sling TV for Mac app was discontinued in 2018 but there are now many other ways of using Sling TV on a Mac.Īlthough Sling TV doesn’t really qualify as a TV Tuner for Mac users, it’s often used by cord cutters that want to save on cable bills or watch content that’s blocked in their region or country.
July 2020 Update: You can now try SlingTV free for 3 days for a limited period. Apps that support TV Provider Authentication might differ between iOS and tvOS, and also based on which TV provider you use.
