There&#x27;s no way to skip commercials or record shows. Sling does offer an interesting alternative: each channel is accompanied by an on-demand section of recent broadcasts, meaning you wouldn&#x27;t need to record anything because it&#x27;d already be available for streaming. Sadly, support for this is inconsistent between channels.<p>I signed up for Sling TV over the summer to help get me through long sleepless nights with a newborn. It&#x27;s an interesting service but there are lots of little problems like the above. I dropped it around Thanksgiving.
