Sling TV Now Lets You Share An Account — For An Extra $20

“The decision to launch as its own separate multi-stream service was influenced by our customers. Two of the top requests we receive are for a multi-stream capability and for FOX programming. As baseball season is just beginning, we know there’s a strong appetite from our customers to be able to watch teams like the Yankees on YES Network, which we now offer. With our launch in beta, we expect our multi-stream service to evolve to include new features, functions and programming in the near future,” Lynch told the Denver Post in an e-mail.

New customers can also try the multi-stream service for seven days for free.

Glenn Hower, a research analyst that tracks online TV services for Parks Associates, said this is still a new niche and companies are figuring things out.
