“Connecting with your family near and far is easier this holiday season with Facebook’s newly released Portal TV, from the Portal family of video calling devices. The new Portal TV brings smart video-calling to the largest screen in your home. And now, when you’re not on a call, you can tune into your favorite live and on-demand entertainment from Sling TV,” Sling TV said in a statement on its site.
“At Sling, our number one job is to make sure you have a great entertainment experience, and nothing sounds better to us than enjoying a great night in with your favorite TV binge session, then chatting your friends face-to-face about that shocking season finale, all while keeping cozy on your couch!”
Portal TV from Facebook costs $149 and comes with Alexa built-in for hands-free voice control. You can also use it to make video calls with Messenger and WhatsApp. Recently Facebook has been adding support for more streaming services like Sling TV.
