On the comparison site, it seems that I can get CBS with Sling TV. On the Sling site, I can't find it. Is CBS available with Sling?

I just looked on the Sling site, the top tear package doesn't show CBS.
I subscribe to YouTubeTV, where I get CBS, ABC, NBC and local broadcasts along with anything II
m interested in.
With YouTubeTV you can stream live & local sports, news, shows from 100+ channels including CBS, FOX, NBC, HGTV, TNT, and more.

I signed up with Sling TV. It's $20 for the first month and $45 after that. YouTube TV would have cost $80/month with CBS and $73 without it. Adding sling to Spectrum Internet, I'll be paying about $125 a month, rather than $215 a month, saving almost $1,100 per year.

We can watch any TV show or movie on any TV, phone, computer, or tablet. Sling also have fifty hours of recording for free.

Believe CBS is Paramount or Paramount plus when streaming

That's a good price.... we have Comcast but bundled with TV & VOIP telephone. In 3 months, I have the yearly painful negotiation phonecall and my intentions are to drop everything but internet. I'm not sure what the price for gigabit would be but think it in the $100 range. Allo is coming to our area and we should be able to get it around the time I'm due for a new agreement with Comcast, but Allo is actually more expensive.

Thanks, that's very good....and excellent for the price. Unfortunately, our Centurylink is not fiber and thus limited to about 40mps. Well done!!

I'm going to remove the Tivo from the system and connect the TP-Link Deco Mesh router. Maybe that will end the buffering on the TV. TV (Sling TV) works fine on my computer - using Chrome, not Edge - but the TV buffers constantly, even though it's connected via cable.

It's ridiculous how complicated things have gotten. I bet they could make it work simpler and more reliably, but they just want to keep pushing out new products for us to buy.
