One of the complaints about the NBC live stream of the Super Bowl was that it lagged behind the live broadcast, it was a constant amount, I forget the exact number reported but it was something like 30 or 60 seconds. Reports also said they had a scoreboard widget that did NOT lag, so you would see the score change, and then have to wait to see what happened.
Sounds like Sling TV would be great for channels like CNN and Weather Channel which are a loop anyway!

The stream acted like it had a hard time keeping up. Examples of glitches were words/video repeating continuously then suddenly jumping to a current stream.

The Android app was hard to find on the store, their PC/full site includes a link to the apk (seriously). The email they send did include a link to the store. The mobile app works pretty well. No way to get it on a TV today without using a Roku or rending the Windows/OSX app and streaming it to the TV with something like VLC/DLNA. The channels really blow IMO. Great if you do ESPN, however.

Who has it, How's it work, What device(s) are you using. I'm probably going to sign up for it just to see what it's all about. Does 1 account let you stream to multiple devices?
