I have sling TV, never missed a UT game. However, today's game is on SEC+, which I supposedly get with the added sports package. My question is, I can't seem to find a solid schedule that says what it will show.

At 3 pm it says there is a Florida swim meet on for 150 minutes, but then it shows the UT game coming on at 4 pm for 180 minutes. Any clue which one SEC+ on sling will actually show?

Thanks all

SEC Network Plus works different from other live TV. It is similar to on demand. Just click on Vols game tab at 4pm and game will broadcast live for you. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I've never had to use it before so I was unsure.

Since you have Sling you can also view on Watch ESPN. Vol game will be an option there also.

Download the watch ESPN app and sign in through Sling to access content. If you're watching football in the sling app, you're doing it wrong.

Yes, it will guide you through it. You will need a computer or phone available to confirm you Sling account, but guide will take you step by step through the one time setup

If watching multiple games this is true. Easier to channel surf with WatchESPN.

Just to confirm, as a boniefied slinger, I use the watchESPN app on ROKU to find games that don't show up in Sling. I guess this is the way ESPN banishes us. Go Vols.

been looking at sling for a while, how does it compare to cable in picture quality? how does it compare to PS vue? thanks in advance.

Sling TV loves us! No surprise since they are owned by dish network which is owned by a Tennessee Alum. Their new commercial starring Danny Trejo has two college football spots in it and both are Tennessee scoring plays. I've noticed the Vols are also in several Dish commercials. Not that it matters but hey it's something

I dropped cable and went with Sling in August. I have Verizon high speed internet for $80/month and Sling w/ Sports Package add on. Total I pay $130/month vs $220/month w/ Comcast. The downside is that Sling doesn't have CBS so I have to stream CBSsports.com. Sunday night football isn't available on Sling as it is on NBC. Buy a digital antenna and you're set! Overall, great value!

All you have to do is go get an HD antenna for $15 and it will give you all your local channels.

Never mind, I'm an idiot.

I just switched to psvue from sling. to me vue runs smoother in my area but I miss the guide and ability to bounce easily between channels. I also get the nfl network but for some reason they weren't allowed to stream the games early in the season.

Honestly though you can't go wrong with either and still much better than cable.
