They made this app almost usable
The Slingplayer app used to allow you to change channels, watch DVR, and do other useful things, but the latest version of the app has disabled those features. Now all you can do is to watch whatever channel the cable box is tuned to, and nothing else. Why would they take a perfectly good app and screw it up so badly.
Best there is
I suggest you buy two it works all over the world where there’s antenna, cable or satellite and internet Service Provider. With this devices you can watch television from the country where you set up a box or from different States and Providers That’s how you get the best from both worlds and it’s not illegal like most things you would find in flea markets no one to whine you down for vpn and crap like that
V4.0.3 much better
They finally updated support for the iPhone X and the streaming actually works really well, unlike the SlingTV app for local Channels. The Gallery doesn’t seem to work anymore, and I would give it 5 stars except for the bug in the channel guide. When you swipe left to see the next show on a channel, the guide starts over from the top, so you have to scroll all the way back down again. Very annoying
Wish you would keep the service going...
Just found out the servers and all sling boxes are all shutting down effective November 9, 2022 and the service will no longer be available. Very sad to hear this. I’m using this with my Apple TV and it’s a wonderful product. Please keep the service going even if you decide to charge a small monthly fee which I feel is worth it. Drop a star to 4 stars because of this.
App stopped working with IOS 14

The app no longer displays video on IPhone after iOS 14 update
Does not allow control of DVR
For regular TV it’s fine. But all of the controls for accessing recorded shows on the DVR are missing. Since these are available on the computer controller not sure why they are not available on the iPhone version.
