Key notes
SlingTVis asubscription-basedon-demand streaming service available only in the US. It sells in two separate packages, Orange and Blue, respectively.
Despite the fact that the two packages have the same price, there are differences when it comes to the number of channels available, and the number of devices that can stream simultaneously.
While with the SlimTVBlueplan you can have up to 3 simultaneous streams, with theOrangeplan, you can have only one.
When the app detects too many concurrent devices it will notify you thatPlayback has stopped because content is being viewed on another device.
How do I log out of Sling TV?
Naturally, to avoid the playbackerror messagementioned before, the safest is to make sure that only the allowed number devices that can connect to a certain program simultaneously.
To prevent this,make sure that you’re signed out of and closed the Sling TVapp on other devicesthan the one you’re using the app for streaming purposes.
Signing out is intuitive: just open the mainSling TV menu,go toSettings,then toAccountandSign Out.
There’s one more particularity that is not often mentioned, but still can cause issues,as suggestedby the support team from Sling TV’s competitor, Hulu.
Namely, sometimes users employ their Facebook account to sign in to other services as well.
If this is the case with your Smart TV account, the app might recognize your profile as already logged in; just make sure to sign out of Facebook as well so as not the be kicked out.
In the end, if you think that you never get enough simultaneous streams, you can sign up for both Slim TV packages, to benefit from all four available slots.
