Can I Watch the Golf Channel on Sling TV?

General Discussion

I’ve been trying to figure out how to watch the Golf Channel without having a traditional cable subscription, and I keep running into the question of Sling TV. Does anybody know if Sling TV has the Golf Channel?

Here’s what I’m looking into:

  • Subscription Packages: What plans do I need to get the Golf Channel?
  • Streaming Options: Is the streaming quality good enough for live tournaments?
  • Comparisons: How does Sling TV’s availability of the Golf Channel stack up against other services like Hulu Live or YouTube TV?
  • Personal Experiences: If you’ve been using Sling for golf, what has been your experience? Any issues with buffering or access during big events?

I’m particularly interested in catching live golf tournaments, so any advice would be super helpful!

Yes, you can watch the Golf Channel on Sling TV! It’s available with the Sling Blue package and the combined Orange + Blue plan. However, you need to subscribe to the Sports Extra add-on for it to be included.

Awesome! I’ve been considering switching to Sling. Do they offer any specific deals for new subscribers?

4

Sounds great! I just want to make sure they won’t pull any sneaky price hikes later on. That’s always a concern with streaming services.

I signed up recently and they had a promotion that included a discount for the first month, plus a free trial for some add-ons! Check their website for any current deals.

I hear you, Bruce! While Sling has been pretty transparent, it’s good to keep an eye on their pricing. Subscriptions can change, so always review your plan every few months.

Exactly! Also, is the golf coverage decent? I heard it’s not as comprehensive as on other platforms.

That’s true, Nelson. Sometimes they don’t cover every tournament like NBC or CBS. It varies by the event, so just be mindful of what you’re really looking to watch.

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up. I guess I’ll need to check the schedule before subscribing.

For sure, Jackson! It’s always best to know what you’re getting into. And if you’re a real golf fanatic, you might want to consider having a backup plan too.

Ha, I guess that applies to more than just golf! Life’s full of surprises, right?

I found that streaming the Golf Channel on Sling TV can be quite reliable, but it really depends on your internet connection. Anyone else experiencing any buffering issues?

13

I’ve had my fair share! Sometimes it can be smooth, but other times I see pixelation during live events. Super frustrating!

I agree with you both. When I watch the Golf Channel through Sling, I sometimes deal with random buffering. I’ve read that using a wired connection can help. Has anyone tried that?

I’ve been using a wired connection for a while now, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in streaming quality. No more annoying interruptions!

Wow, great tip, @rebeccahall! Do you think switching to a higher speed internet package might also help with stream quality on Sling?

17

Definitely! More bandwidth can help reduce buffering. I have 50 Mbps, and it works pretty well for Sling TV and the Golf Channel, at least most of the time.

18

That’s the kicker! It’s frustrating when it just happens randomly, especially during a tournament. I suppose it’s just the nature of streaming services.

I’ve seen a few glitches too, but hey, it’s better than missing out on the action! Plus, I love the flexibility Sling offers.

Exactly! At least we can still catch highlights if the stream acts up, right? Anyone else have streaming tips to share?
