So let me get this straight, it's $99 + the three months prepay?
Or does the $99 include the three months?

Do I need a sling subscription to use airtv2 at home?
this is the real question, Fire TV recast (the standard for integrated OTA DVR at this point) can be used without any subscriptions.

you can subscribe to whatever you want for only how long you want, but that OTA DVR will always be there for free

I tried a couple HD antennas that were frontpage deals maybe 5-6 years ago and couldn't really pick up anything other than church channels. Has the technology gotten better over the years? I live about an hour away from a city with a about a million people but I couldn't pick up any main stations back then. Wondering if it's worth trying again.

1. These Sling deals are not new; they have been going on since April 1, 2020.

2. If, like me, you didn't know what AirTv was before stumbling over this deal, here's a helpful article:

Not sure I'd call that the standard when you can get a lifetime Plex sub and an HDHomerun for less - and with a heck of a lot more features than just being a DVR.

That could have been the AirTV.

I had big problems with mine a year or so back, could not receive anything for more than 20-30 seconds. Plugged antenna into Tcl tv and it could receive channels fine without interruptions. AirTV support blamed my antennas, yet it worked on tv... then they blamed my home network, lots of pointing fingers elsewhere by airtv support and no replacement unit offered or provided after requested.

I bought an hdhomerun, it received channels right away, channels don't drop on the exact same antenna and coax cable while plugged into hdhomerun, bought plex license to dvr, discontinued sling (user interface is terrible), hop between other online "channel" aggregators as needed.

You cannot do it while it is still recording. After it is done, it will work fine. I never watched a commercial yet.

Now, under youtubetv some AMC programs would not allow me to fast forward new recordings unless they were older. I have to see if that is your issue.
I'm talking about shows I've recorded previously. There are white bars on the dvr recording that you cannot fwd through. If you do it screws up the programing and you have to back out. This is posted numerous times on reddit ever since the forced ads update.

Just as I expected. Same as YTTV

You can fast forward and skip commercials with all recorded Sling TV shows except for programs offered through the on-demand format.

I have recorded many times and yet to have an issue. I just now recorded off of AMC and SYFY and had no issue skipping commercials. I am using a Roku ultra. Might be android app issue.

Pretty sure roku is running android. So are you saying if I recorded it but its also offered on demand then it'll play the on demand version no matter what?

Just did the "Free" deal, didn't see the point of the $99 deal as I have zero interest in the mini. So Airplay 2 and antenna (will use my own) for Free with three months prepaid. Just used a different email address as I already did the Free three day trial.

Yes, that is true of any platform however when I said I have no trouble with fast forward that is using Roku. It is possible the Android app has issues which I saw on reddict.

So, I have no issue with Roku.

Now with on demand...you can fast forward but not through commercials. I have not tested the record functions since it says to record the whole series. And my mere 10 hours is very precious to me so I pass. Tested on the food network ....who watches this crap.

Is Slingtv perfect...no. Is the Airtv2 perfect...no. But I am not paying for YTTV.

At more than half off...not being perfect is fine. I do not need more channels with commercials.

Yup this is the only issue I have, just more annoying hearing my wife complain about it. But the cost I still haven't cancelled.

So tonight my dvr issues were no more. On my dvr'd content there were no white bars and we could fast forward as we should.
