Sling TV v Sling Freestram

I signed up for regular Sling TV through Roku. The only app available to add on Roku is the Freestream version. I want to add an app for the regular service, not free. The Sling site isn't much help either. It tells me to just search for the app and add it. But I only have the Freestream option. I'm not using a Roku TV. I've paused my Sling subscription until I get this straight. Any ideas?

There is only one Sling app. Add the app and sign in.

The signed-in app will provide whatever is appropriate for your account. If you have Freestream, the app will give you Freestream content. If you have a paid account you will get your paid options. If you have add-ons, the app will give you your add-ons.

Re: Sling TV v Sling Freestram

Hi, @MomsTV 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

I understand your concern about adding the Sling TV with a subscription to your Roku, and I'm here to help.

There is only one Sling TV app available for installation on Roku. Whether you have a Freestream account or a subscribed account, you will need to log in after installing the app. If you log in with an account that has an active subscription, you will be able to access the content available for subscribed accounts.

Visit this link to download the Sling TV app on your Roku: Sling TV App.

I hope this helps, and let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
The Roku Community Team.
