Apple TV Latest Device to Support Sling TV Cloud-Based DVR Service

Sling TV added Apple TV to the device compatibility roster for its First Look cloud DVR service, joining Roku and Android devices and PCs, it said in a Monday blog post. Customers with a Sling TV-supported Apple TV can add 50 hours of cloud DVR service to their subscription for $5 per month, said Chief Product Officer Ben Weinberger, and additional device support will be announced in coming weeks. The service allows users to record Sling TV content and watch it later, but functionality isn’t available on all channels. Subscribers can record multiple programs simultaneously, said Weinberger. Recordings won’t expire for subscribers who maintain a current account, but the service will delete older recordings as necessary to make room for new ones, he said.
