What Sling TV actually is
Sling splits its channels into Orange (ESPN, Disney) and Blue (Fox, NBC, more news and entertainment), which confuses new buyers but lets you avoid paying for half a line-up you would never open. Orange alone is the lowest-priced live sports package in the US market.
The trade-off is stream limits. Orange allows one stream at a time, so a household of two watching different things needs the combined plan.
