However, I'm happy with our switch to Sling. The money saved is primary. So long as your Intrawebz keeps up, you'll always have a signal and there are apps to watch other shows, depending on how you get your online to your teevee. We have a package of news shows to get MSNBC, so there's a bit more a la carte in play. I don't think you'll be unhappy, but be prepared to be kind of frustrated, as it's different from cable tv. I never used satellite, so I can't compare. Welcome to the dark side!
