DVR Lacking

Too often the DVR will not adjust its recording length for delayed or elongated sports games, such as the dodgers Phillies rain delayed game today. Losing out on the very end of the game, including recent World Cup match play is highly frustrating. Also, when I cancel the recording of numerous games before they air it makes no difference, the DVR Always records the canceled recordings anyway. Please improve!!

Good but problems

I like the service but there are issues with it. The app often fails to launch properly, forcing me to reset my TV. Fees continue to increase with no added benefits. No CBS.

DVR needs work

I like Sling but the DVR has never worked well, at least not on the Amazon Fire Stick. It will not seem to fast forward and then suddenly blow through 20 minutes of a show and frequently will not return to play when play is pushed. Please find a way to fix this.

Pixelates constantly

On multiple devices. Gigabit internet. Not surprising from a trash company like Dish. They’re barely holding it together.
