CES 2015 has brought with it many announcements, including a big one by Dish. And that of course was Sling TV, a new $20 per month over the top service that delivers live sports, lifestyle, family, news and information channels, Video-On-Demand entertainment and the select online video to broadband-connected devices at home and on-the-go. It is a first of its kind offering and really makes you think about cutting the cord of home TV. It features channels like ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, ABC Family and CNN. But you can get different add-on packages that cost around $5 per month that provide extra channels. Amazon has also announced that Sling TV will be available on the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick at launch. Which means cord cutters, can use a Fire TV device to get TV content on their television without the need for a cable box.
