Get 40 percent off Sling TV for the first 3 months if you’re a new subscriber

By Simon Cohen February 28, 2019

Sling TV is already one of the best values among live TV streaming services, with three tiers of channels and tons of optional add-ons. And now, it’s an even better deal: The company is offering new subscribers the chance to watch their first three months for 40 percent below normal pricing.

That means the 34-channel Sling Orange package and the 47-channel Sling Blue package are now $15 per month each for the first three months. Or you can get the Sling Orange + Blue combo pack for $25 per month for the first three months. Unfortunately, add-0n packages like Sports Extra haven’t been similarly discounted, but it’s still a much better deal than the typical seven-day free trial.

The offer comes at a pretty good time for those who are looking for a way to stream the NCAA March Madness games, which are around the corner. CBS will still be airing the most games, so you’ll need a CBS All Access subscription or an over-the-air (OTA) antenna for that option, but TBS will have 18 games, TruTV will have 13, and TNT gets 12 of them. All three of those stations are included in the Sling Blue bundle. For all of the available sports action on Sling, check out the company’s Game Finder page.

Sling TV is easily the most versatile of the live TV streaming services, thanks to its à la carte way of letting you add and remove features. But it’s also somewhat bare-bones — the basic Orange and Blue packages are missing a DVR option, for instance, which will cost an extra $5 per month. On the other hand, once you sign up for it, it’s pretty amazing, with support for virtually every device that Sling runs on (there are tons) and the ability to keep your recorded shows for as long as you’re a member in good standing. For a complete look at the service, our Sling TV explainer gets into all of the gory details.

Sling’s cancellation policy is easy — you can can cancel any time. And if you do decide to say goodbye, there are even a few free channels you can continue to stream after you’re no longer paying. Still not sure Sling TV is right for you? Check out our complete coverage of the best live TV streaming services. There are more than ever to choose from, including some that cost nothing at all.

This awesome deal gets you 3 months of Hulu for $6 and saves you $18

Watching Hulu on TV for national streaming day with remote in foreground.

This content was produced in partnership with Hulu.
National Streaming Day, as you might expect, is a fun holiday dedicated to honoring the revolutionary streaming technologies and platforms we now have at our fingertips. Thanks to the movement away from more traditional media sources, like cable, we can now binge-watch our favorite shows, and access thousands of on-demand movies, documentaries, and other media. While there are more than a few streaming services available these days, one of the best options is Hulu. In the spirit of the holiday, they're currently offering an incredible deal to new and canceled subscribers -- as long as you haven't had service for greater than a month. You can grab Hulu (With Ads) for $2 a month for the next 3 months. Since a regular subscription costs $7.99 per month or about $24 total, you're saving about $18 with this deal! It will only be available until May 27th, so grab it while you can.

Why You Should Take Advantage of Hulu's National Streaming Day Deal
The deal for new and returning subscribers is for Hulu (With Ads) standalone, which would normally cost $7.99 per month. Once the deal period is over, after the three months, your subscription will roll into that full-price version, and you'll be back to paying $7.99 per month.

There’s no catch, sign up to Sling Freestream to watch live TV content for free

This content was produced in partnership with Sling TV.
In case you've never heard of it, Sling TV is an excellent streaming service that allows you to watch hundreds of live cable TV channels online, and from virtually any device. It is honestly one of the better ways to modernize your traditional programming, meaning you can ditch the conventional cable TV subscription and opt for Sling TV's plans with a whole lot more flexibility. For example, if you're going on a road trip you can always pick up watching, right from where you left off, on a mobile device, tablet, or laptop. But like most streaming services, Sling TV's content is not free, at least that's how it was. Now, thanks to a new service called Sling Freestream you'll be able to watch live TV, shows, movies, and much more totally free -- no credit card necessary. At this point, you're probably wondering what's the catch? Well, there is no catch, it's free, always will be free, and you can start watching right now, or later if you prefer. We'll dig into some of the finer details below, like what channels are available and what content to expect, but for now, you can head over to Freestream to begin watching any time you're ready.

Sling Freestream is Sling's relatively new, ad-supported TV service that allows you to watch content for free, no credit card necessary. Through the service, you can access over 210 free live TV channels, including AMC Thrillers, MTV Pluto, Buzzr, Fail Army, The Grapevine, iFC Films, and much much more. Plus, you can stream over 40,000 on-demand movies and shows with fan favorites like The Walking Dead, Hell's Kitchen, or Bob Odenkirk's latest Lucky Hank. Odenkirk plays the freewheeling lawyer Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad.

You can get this 65-inch QLED TV for $398 if you’re fast enough

The 50-inch Onn QLED 4K Roku TV hanging on a wall.

Cyber Monday deals don't really get much better than being able to buy a huge Onn. 65-inch QLED TV for $398 instead of $568 at Walmart. A massive saving of $170, this is a great chance to embrace QLED technology for less than usual. You're going to need to be fast though as this TV is already hugely popular and liable to sell out. Here's a quick look at why it's worth it.

Why you should buy the Onn. 65-inch QLED TV
Cyber Monday TV deals are always worth holding out for as demonstrated by this Onn. 65-inch QLED TV. While it may not come from one of the best TV brands, there's no denying that gaining QLED technology for such a low price is worth it. Quantum Dot technology means that it looks better than a standard LED screen with a quantum filter that precisely controls color output. That leads to more vibrant colors and deeper blacks all on screen at the same time. With sharp contrast and upscaling abilities, your 4K and HDR content looks extra punchy and clear, so it's great for movie fans.
