ENGLEWOOD, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SlingTV–Sling TV today widened availability of its Cloud DVR to new customers
through its “First Look” early access program. Introduced in late 2016
in beta for Roku users, Cloud DVR “First Look,” priced at $5 per month
for 50 hours of storage, is now available for purchase exclusively to
Sling TV customers using Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick or Fire tablet
devices. Sling TV also expanded its Cloud DVR-supported devices;
customers with Cloud DVR may now use the feature across Amazon Fire TV
and Fire tablets, Android mobile devices, Android TVs, Roku™ streaming
players and Roku TV™s.

“Many customers have requested Cloud DVR since our launch, and as more
consumers cut the cord, we know Cloud DVR is a must-have feature for
many consumers,” said Ben Weinberger, chief product officer of Sling TV.
“We also know some customers prefer to watch our 30,000 on-demand
titles, and we don’t want to make them pay for a feature they won’t use.
While other OTT providers force everyone to take Cloud DVR at a higher
price, Sling TV continues to give our customers choice and control over
their entertainment experience.”

‘First Look’ Program

Through “First Look,” the Cloud DVR offers eligible customers 50 hours
of Cloud DVR storage for $5 per month with any Sling TV subscription.

The “First Look” program provides customers with the latest Cloud DVR
updates, including several improvements and bug fixes identified through
customer feedback during the beta period. “First Look” customers will
also be among the first to experience new features like setting
recordings on-the-go, as well as upcoming enhancements, including the
ability to record more channels, protect recordings and group recorded
series into folders.

Access to “First Look” is currently available to customers who own a
Sling TV-supported Amazon device; Cloud DVR is available on Amazon Fire
TVs and Fire tablets, Android mobile devices, Android TVs, Roku™
streaming players and Roku TV™s, and will expand to additional devices
in the coming months, starting with Apple TV. Eligible customers who
created their account through Amazon may add Cloud DVR through the Sling
TV app on their Fire TV or Fire tablet. All other eligible customers may
add Cloud DVR by signing in to their account on sling.com
and selecting “Add Cloud DVR.”
