Here is a look at the Air TV from Sling that I recorded back at CES 2017.
Sling TV this year released their first streaming media player called AirTV. The new AirTV comes from its parent company, Dish, and takes the best of over-the-air TV and Sling TV and puts them in one device along with Netflix
I played with the new AirTV at CES back in January week. It offers a smooth, easy streaming experience, and it always loads straight into Sling TV, making that your home page. Along with Sling TV you can plug an antenna into the box thanks to a USB tuner. When you plug in an antenna it puts your local channels directly into the Sling TV guide.
Now I got my own Air TV to unbox and review:
The AirTV runs Android TV the same as the Nvidia Shield or Mi Box. This allows you full access to all that the Google Play store has to offer. You can easily add more apps to the AirTV for services such as Hulu.
