Of the two $35 tiers, I believe Sling Blue offers the best deal for most people. Existing customers got to keep their $30 price until Aug. In January this year, Sling TV increased the price on its two main packages from $30 to $35 while also increasing the DVR storage to 50 hours (up from 10). Meanwhile, more expensive alternatives such as Hulu Plus Live TV do offer local channels with no antenna required. While the company recently integrated local streaming startup LoCast into its program lineup the service has since been suspended. The biggest downside to both is that if you want a full slate of local channels - namely your local ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC stations - you'll have to augment Sling TV with an over-the-air antenna and even something like the $99 AirTV 2 DVR. Sling TV Blue is essentially the Fox and NBC option, while Sling Orange is the ESPN and Disney package. They share many of the same channels (like CNN, History and TNT) but others are exclusive to one or the other. Sling TV is different from rivals because it offers two main plans for the same $35 entry price: Sling Orange and Sling Blue.
