AirTV Player + Adapter review: An imperfect marriage of Sling TV and broadcast televsion |
May 02, 2017
Provide enough advice to potential cord cutters, and you'll often find yourself saying "yes, but." Yes, you can stream most traditional TV channels without cable, but you're better off making sacrifices. Yes, you can still use DVR, but restrictions may apply. Yes, you can get broadcast networks for free with an antenna, but they'll be isolated from the rest of your streaming channels.That last "yes, but" is the one AirTV wants to eliminate with its first streaming box. The $100 AirTV Player is built for watching Sling TV, a low-cost streaming service for cable channels. And with an optional TV tuner bundled for an extra $30, users can also watch local broadcast channels from within the Sling app. By combining these two TV sources into a single interface, AirTV plugs the gaps in Sling's own channel lineup, keeps costs down, and aims to make cord-cutting less intimidating. (Both Sling TV and AirTV are subsidiaries of Dish Network.)To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
