Sling TV appears to be making a significant upgrade to its DVR service, offering unlimited storage to some subscribers. While the company has yet to officially announce the change, multiple reports from Cord Cutters News readers indicate that the “DVR Plus” add-on, previously capped at 200 hours of recording time, now provides unlimited storage for certain users.
Sling TV, a popular live TV streaming service owned by Dish Network, has traditionally lagged behind competitors like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV in the DVR storage department. The standard Sling TV subscription includes 50 hours of cloud DVR storage, with the option to upgrade to “DVR Plus” for an additional fee. This add-on previously provided 200 hours of storage, a significant jump but still limited compared to the unlimited offerings of its rivals.
The news of this apparent upgrade has generated excitement among Sling TV subscribers who rely heavily on the DVR feature. With unlimited storage, users can record and store their favorite shows, movies, and sporting events without worrying about running out of space.
However, the details surrounding this change remain unclear. Sling TV has not publicly announced the upgrade or clarified which customers are eligible for unlimited storage. It is possible that the company is currently testing the feature with a select group of users before rolling it out more broadly.
Cord Cutters News reached out to Dish Network for comment but has not yet received a response. The lack of official confirmation has left many wondering about the specifics of the new offering, including pricing and availability.
This move could signal a shift in Sling TV’s strategy as it faces increasing competition in the live TV streaming market. By offering unlimited DVR storage, Sling TV could attract new customers and retain existing ones who value the flexibility and convenience of recording their favorite content.
As more information becomes available, Sling TV users will be eager to learn if they are among the lucky ones with access to this highly sought-after feature. For now, the company’s silence on the matter has only fueled speculation and anticipation.
