Common issues
Sling offered me a discount to stay — should I take it?
Sling often offers 50% off for 1–3 months. If you plan to return, it may be worth taking. If you're done with live TV, just click 'No thanks' and proceed.
Will I lose my DVR recordings if I cancel?
Yes — Sling Cloud DVR recordings are deleted when you cancel. There is no way to export them.
