Sling TV today became the first live and on-demand over-the-top
(OTT) service available on select Samsung Smart TVs. The launch of
Sling TV on this new platform enables Sling TV to expand its
leadership in device compatibility, currently supporting other
platforms that include tablets, game consoles, computers,
smartphones, streaming devices and other smart televisions.
“With football season in full swing, we know our customers want
to catch every play on the biggest screen possible,” said Jimshade
Chaudhari, vice president of product management, Sling TV.
“Integrating Sling TV into select Samsung TVs creates a seamless
experience for millions of Samsung customers, so they can watch
their favorite team without the hassle of installing additional
equipment, additional remotes or switching inputs.”
“Integrating Sling TV into our line of Smart TVs helps simplify
live TV for our customers,” said Salek Brodsky, Vice President of
Content and Services for Samsung Electronics. “As viewers continue
to embrace streaming live TV via apps, Sling TV is an obvious win
for those who want to truly personalize their entertainment
experience for the best value.”
Sling TV is now available on Samsung’s 2016 line of Smart TVs,
and will roll out to additional models in the future.
Current Sling TV subscribers can log in to their accounts on
Internet-connected compatible Samsung Smart TVs. New customers may
sign up for Sling TV directly within the app on Samsung Smart
TVs.1
