Hello Kliphton, and list,
Ok, I decided to play with the Sling TV one more time. I wasn't planning on it. I had actually un-installed it. So I had to re-install it. I had some trouble signing in, which I didn't before. So I found that to be a bit odd. Anyway, I couldn't find a watch now option. I found my tv, on now, search, settings, and possibly something else. I just can't remember what it was. But I know for sure it wasn't watch now. Here is where things get interesting. I went in to the on now. I slid my finger down, and I was shocked to hear programs being announced. Now I think I could go left and right as well. But I don't remember for sure. It would tell me the name of the show, but not if it was a movie, or a show. Some of it was obvious. It would tell me the tv rating, the start time, but unfortunately not the channel. Also, when I entered on an option, not sure if it was a movie, it did come up. Once it came up, I learned it was an episode of Nashville. I just found this interesting, and thought that I would pass this on. I think I will fiddle around with it a bit more. I wish the website offered a list of channels. But I don't think they do.
