Cord-cutting services get their name because they allow you to watch live TV over the internet, without the hassle, expense, or long-term contracts required by cable or satellite providers, and without tethering yourself to a physical address. The best of them can even give you access to regional sports networks and local stations. Different services offer different channels, and they’re often broken up into groups and tiers of service (in Sling TV's case, Blue and Orange). Check the service’s website to see what channels are available to you.

FAQ: Stream TV online with a VPN

Does ExpressVPN come with a Sling account?

No. You’ll need to purchase a subscription separately, if you haven't already.

What devices can I watch Sling TV on?

Sling TV is available on a wide range of devices, including:

Smartphones and tablets, including iOS and Android
Computers, including Mac and Windows
Smart TVs and TV box systems, including Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV Stick, and Samsung Smart TV
Game consoles, including PlayStation and Xbox

ExpressVPN has easy-to-use apps for many of these devices and covers five devices simultaneously. But even if your device cannot install ExpressVPN directly, you can still enjoy full VPN benefits by connecting it to a router running ExpressVPN.

Can I watch on more than one device at a time?

With an Orange subscription, you can only watch on one device. But with Blue, you can watch on three separate screens at once. You can also subscribe to both Blue and Orange to stream on four separate devices simultaneously. Because you can use one ExpressVPN subscription on up to five devices at the same time, you can stream as much as you’d like.

Do I still have to deal with commercials?

Yes. Because it’s a live streaming service, the commercial breaks remain the same. A VPN can’t help you there.

What else can I do with my VPN?

Great question! You can also use ExpressVPN with Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, and many other popular services. ExpressVPN can also help enhance your online gaming experience, and lets you browse the internet privately and securely.

Why streamers love ExpressVPN

Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.

Susan S.

Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.

Peggy S.

This is the first VPN service that doesn't slow down or buffer my streaming services while I'm at home. I appreciate that and thank you all for doing it right!

How to stream on your TV with ExpressVPN

Ways to watch ExpressVPN on your smart TV.

Using ExpressVPN means secure streaming in blazing-fast HD! Here are four ways to stream with a VPN:

Download the app to a smart TV. If you have a TV that can install the ExpressVPN app directly, such as Amazon Fire TV or Android TV, just search for the app and install!
Connect via HDMI cable. Simply run an HDMI cable from another device with ExpressVPN installed to your TV. Don’t have an HDMI cable handy? Try mirroring or casting instead.
Use MediaStreamer. Though MediaStreamer doesn’t offer the privacy protection of a VPN, it works with devices like Apple TV and gaming consoles that normally can’t install a VPN.
Use a VPN-enabled router. With ExpressVPN installed on your router every device in your home—including your smart TV or gaming console—can enjoy all the benefits of a VPN. This even covers devices that can’t install a VPN directly.
