We got Sling tv about a month ago (to watch ESPN channels)and used our computer to show it on our tv (yes, we used an HDMI cable). We just recently got a new smart tv that uses Roku. Which beside Sling also allows access to Netflix and Amazon accounts and more. It's pretty nifty. Also, Sling tv goes month to month so we can cancel anytime we want. The biggest issue on SXM is internet speed (along with outside the US coverage by those services). It always comes down to the internet speed!
