Sling TV will continue to support its app for PCs running legacy
Windows software and will be available on additional Windows 10
devices in the coming months.
“Enabling billions of hours of content consumption among tens of
millions of users in the U.S., Windows 10 is a natural platform for
Sling TV as we continue to make it easier and more convenient for
consumers to access our service,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of Sling
TV. “We have invested significant resources and hours in creating a
superior Sling TV experience on Windows 10 that highlights the
platform’s unique features.”
“We’re excited for customers to experience the Windows 10 Sling
TV app, taking advantage of capabilities unique to our platform,
such as Cortana voice commands and Live Tiles,” said Tuula Rytila,
corporate vice president, post sales monetization (PSM), Microsoft.
“Microsoft continuously works with industry leading partners to
bring high quality apps to the Windows Store and we’re pleased to
offer Sling TV as another way for consumers to experience live TV
on Windows 10 devices.”
Sling TV on Windows 10
Sling TV on Windows 10 includes the new user interface Sling TV
announced in June. Additionally, Sling TV customers will notice
several features unique to the Windows 10 platform:
- Live Tiles – Easily see content
from “favorites” and “continue watching” ribbons when Sling TV is
pinned to the start menu.
- Cortana Voice Integration –
Quickly search for specific shows or channels by voice with
Cortana, Microsoft’s personal digital assistant.
- Vertical Menu – Windows 10 users
will feel right at home with a vertical main menu on Sling TV.
- Responsive User Interface –
Sling TV on Windows 10 uses a responsive UI, so the video
automatically adapts to different sizes and snaps the app to use
only half of the screen.
- Touch Compatibility – Sling TV
works on both touch and non-touch Windows 10 devices.
Current Sling TV customers can download the Sling TV app
directly from the Windows Store, and new customers can sign up for
a Sling TV account from the app when they download the Sling TV app
for free on a Windows 10 PC or tablet.
