It’s been a relatively quiet few months for Sling TV after the new streaming television service took the industry by storm at CES 2015. Today, it’s making news with a nice offer on the recently released Chromecast while also announcing support for Google’s streaming device. Head below for more details.
After previously offering support for Xbox One, Fire TV and Roku, Sling is now bringing its service to Google’s Chromecast. Alongside this announcement is a noteworthy offer to new customers. Sling TV will give any new subscribers a second-generation Chromecast when three months of service is paid for in advance. See our unboxing of the new Chromecast here.
Simply visit this page and click on Get This Deal to start the process. From there, you’ll sign up and a free Chromecast ($35 value) will arrive at your house in a few days. After the three month subscription period has concluded, your credit card will be automatically charged the regular $20/month fee.
It’s worth noting that Sling is also still offering a 50% discount on the new Roku 3 with voice search, which offers more value for the money. Either way, it’s a nice opportunity to grab a discounted streaming device while trying out Sling’s service.
