Before you change your plan

There are things you have to consider before subscribing or changing to any package. If you just want to be simple, save your cash, get the free version of Sling: Sometimes they give you the grace of watching super shows that can be found only on the upgraded version.

On the reverse, if you wish to be all in, and have some $45 to spare every month, you can give it all away for the Sling Orange + Blue plan. It is a bundle of the Orange and Blue plans. Though they are some channel variations that make every plan super different from the other. You can tell that from the list of Comedy Central, History, IFC, NFL Network only found on the $45 grand.

If you and your household are real cord-cutters with the feel for multi-device connection, but indifferent about chosen between the Blue and Orange plan, I would bet you to choose the Blue rather than single-stream Orange. Also, they have similar channels, so I don’t think you have much to lose; except if you are a sports lover with a knack for super sports channels like ESPN which is only found on Orange.

One of the many differences between the two basic plans is found in their channels: Blue has a collection of USA, FX, El Rey, and Viceland, while Orange boasts of AMC, CNN, ESPN, TNT, Food Network and TBS.

Edit your add-on “extra” service: Under the selected subscription plan is an option with the subject “sling-yourplan-extra”. Click to drop down the list of add-on services with their prices/mo under your selected plan. Some of these extra include cloud DVR plus extra, comedy extra, sports extra, kids extra, news extra, lifestyle extra and so many more. Select the add button horizontal to each “extra” to add it to your subscription. You add as much extra as you want.

Go through your subscription changes: Scroll down; strike the review button to move over to the “review order page” to see your chosen service plan. It comprises a list of your current, removed and newly added plan”. You will also see the subtotal, tax and total billing at the end of the list which will be affected on your next bill date. Finally, click “submit order” to effect changes.

If you don’t see any change occur on your dashboard, don’t panic. Sometimes it takes a wrap off of 10 minutes before any alteration.

It is also important to note that if you make any changes or cancel the subscription once you are billed your money won’t be refunded back to you.
