Sling TV CEO Roger Lynch talks pricing, DVR, and certified hardware.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot\u2019s changed in the two years since Sling TV made its grand debut at CES 2015. Instead of being the only streaming option for cable channels like ESPN and CNN, Sling is now one of three options alongside PlayStation Vue and DirecTV Now, and it will soon have a fourth competitor in Hulu.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, Sling has changed with the times. The company, a subsidiary of Dish Network, has added new channels, created a second base package with a different mix of channels, and is working on a cloud DVR feature.<\/p>\n

What else is in store for Sling this year? Here\u2019s what we learned from Roger Lynch, Sling\u2019s CEO, during CES 2017:<\/p>\n

On DVR, which is \u201cmonths\u201d away<\/h2>\n

Sling began testing DVR service in an invite-only beta on Roku devices last month, and while it\u2019s clearly a work in progress, Lynch says feedback has been positive. \u201cThe only feedback that isn\u2019t positive is, \u2018I wish I had this feature or that feature,\u2019 all of which are being built already anyway,\u201d Lynch says.<\/p>\n
