Included in $30 per month Sling Blue packageSling Orange includes multiple sports channels, most notably a suite of ESPN channels including ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPN 3. Sling Blue, on the other hand, drops the sports but adds in networks like FX, and Discovery, plus Fox and NBC in select markets.
Sling is one of the most affordable cord-cutting services on the market, offering two packages — Orange and Blue — with over 30 live channels starting at $30 a month, or combined for $45 a month. Orange features the Disney Channel and ESPN, while Blue offers a slate of Fox channels, NBC, Bravo, and Discovery.
Sling TV does not offer Fox Sports Sun with the streaming service. Sling TV is not available to stream on PlayStation and Nintendo.
In that spirit, we are offering the 4 Extras Deal, a multi-Extra discount for our Sling Orange and Sling Blue customers. You can now subscribe to Kids Extra, Lifestyle Extra, Comedy Extra and News Extra all just for $12. Those Extras combined originally cost $20. That's four Extras for the price of two!
Sling TV Goes Free, Offers Free On-Demand Content for Non-Subscribers.
Sling Blue costs $30 per month and gives you access to 47 live channels. However, Blue does not include every Orange channel by default; there's no Disney and no ESPN, for starters. Sling Blue users also have the opportunity to watch NBC stations, including NBC, USA, Bravo and SyFy.
Customers can use their Sling TV credentials to watch ESPN and ESPN2 on the WatchESPN app from Internet-connected devices. This is available at no additional cost to all customers who subscribe to the “Best of Live TV” core package.

Re: Sling does not loadWe'd recommend trying to remove the SlingTV channel from the Roku home screen (go to the channel tile, press the * key and choose 'Remove channel'), restart your Roku device, then once the device restarts, go ahead and add the channel back once more.
Freezing and buffering issues are most likely caused by either Sling TV server problems or your internet and wifi connection issues. Now occasional freezing or buffering will still happen from time to time, but restarting Sling should fix temporary streaming hiccups. Close out of the Sling app and then relaunch it.
