Updated Sling TV Interface Now Available on Amazon Fire

Dec 02, 2016 by Ben Weinberger

Attention Amazon Fire users: your Sling TV experience is getting a major facelift! Sling TV’s new UI is going live on your devices starting today. To celebrate the launch of our new interface on Amazon Fire, for a limited time, new Sling TV customers who sign up on an Amazon device can access an extended free trial, of 14 days! Plus, we are adding new Latino and International packages you can now buy through Amazon, to give users even more flexibility to customize their service in-app.

New UI

Our new UI makes the Sling TV experience more personalized and adds great new ways to find the content you love. At the center of the new changes is “My TV,” your new home screen. From here, you can add your favorite networks to “My Channels” for one-click access to the networks you watch the most. And, pick up where you left off in the “Continue Watching” ribbon.

Visit the “On Now” screen for quick access to everything currently airing. It’s even organized by genres, including “Sports,” “Kids,” News,” and more, so you can find what you’re looking for.

Since this fall, we’ve launched NHL Network and NBA TV, plus ESPN3 and Pac-12 Network, expanding upon the incredible breadth of sports content we already offered our customers with channels like NFL Network, SEC Network, ESPN, and so much more. To get a quick view of all the sports shows and games in your service, visit the “Sports” screen. Looking for a specific sport? This screen is also organized by sport, so finding the big game is easier than ever.

Extended 14-day Free Trial
