Sling Apple TV App Launches But It’s US-Only, Canada
At Apple’s WWDC keynote today, they announced Sling would launch for Apple TV 4 users, and it’s finally here. However, Sling TV remains only for users in the United States.

Sling TV is a multichannel pay-TV streaming service and is accessible from the web or an iOS device, for example. But despite rumours of the service launching in Canada for $20/month, it doesn’t look to be coming anytime soon. Visiting the Sling website shows Canadians the follow message:

In order to access Sling TV in Canada, users will be required to use a VPN or DNS service, and have a U.S. address to setup their account. It takes some work to setup but if you are able to do it, you’ll be watching channels such as TNT, TBS, CNN, the Cartoon Network, the Food Network, Disney, ESPN, ESPN2 and HGTV.

I’m testing it out. It’s lagging quite a bit. I don’t have issues with HBO Now or the NBC and ABC apps though.

And why do you assume this is the ‘fault’ of government? It’s another reason to dislike the mega-corporations that rule the world.
