Is it public yet? I never got an invite. If they keep adding packages this thing is gonna be top banana.
we cancelled cable today so I wouldn't mind seeing that invite sometime soon! We'll probably wait a bit longer to join though.
Just got my invite. Will look at buying out our DirecTV contract and going to this. It comes with a week free. All of those packages for $30/month...
Got my invite, but it's saying the email I signed up with is already taken when I try to register. Any ideas?
That'd be good, seems like there's not really a convenient way to get it on your TV unless you own a Roku, which I do but it's an old model and not that enjoyable to use.
Got my invite and ran into the same problem. I was doing this on my media PC, which is old and still runs Vista/IE9. I clicked on the link in the email, and it took me to the Sling site, and I clicked on "register", as there didn't seem to be any other links to click for signing up, but got the same thing...it took me to the page where I signed up for the invite.
Having run into problems before with that old version of IE, I then opened the link from the email in FireFox (latest version), and there was another blue "getting started" type box on that page that I'm pretty sure didn't show up in IE9, which I clicked on, and was able to finish the sign up process. I downloaded their PC app, and everything seems to be working.
Thanks. I'll have to try that when I get home from work. I was trying to register on my iPad last night to no avail. I somehow got to a login screen in my half asleep browsing, but it kept saying there was an error and try again later when I tried to login. I'm assuming that's because I never actually completed the 4 step registration process.
Nope. I wish. It doesn't seem to work with my old Roku XD, either. Luckily I bought a Fire TV Stick when they were on sale for $20, so at least we can stream with that.
Originally they were aiming to "cap" subscriptions around 5 million.
Here's a good read on why both Dish and the networks don't want it to be much more than a niche market for now. Will be interesting to see how long they can keep the networks in their channel lineup on board.

It's nice to be able to watch ESPNU not on first row. This is great for basketball season. Probably will subscribe to this and Cyclones.TV for the basketball seasons and be contract and TV free for the summer.
Just a note - when you sign up, you get a free week to try it out. Can cancel, sign up, etc. all on the website just like Netflix.

Has anyone else tried the iPad app? It looks like I'm all signed up (can edit my personal info), but I can't login to the app. I haven't had a chance to try my PC or Roku3 yet.
