Watch Live TV from Anywhere
One drawback that Netflix and Hulu have is that you can’t watch live TV. For some, in order to watch live TV a cable service is needed. For others, they’ve gotten tired of paying ridiculous prices for a crazy amount of channels that they don’t even watch. These people are considered “cord cutters.” In 2015, two services in particular service the cord cutters, and give you the power to stream live TV anywhere. Sling TV and Playstation Vue.
What is Sling TV?
Sling TV is a very affordable live TV streaming service. Starting at just $20 per month you have access to over 20 channels, anywhere, anytime. Sling TV offers add-ons ranging from $5 for the kids package to $15 for HBO. All you need in order to stream live using Sling TV is an internet connection and a device to stream to. Fortunately for many, Sling TV can be viewed on TVs and video players, phones and tablets, laptops and computers, and gaming consoles. In addition Sling TV provide deals on video players.

Sony priced their Playstation Vue at a higher value than Sling TV. Offering three types of packages, Access package starting at $49.99 per month for 50+ channels going up to $64.99 per month for their Elite package of 85+ channels. Playstation Vue is most similar to traditional cable providers due to the ability to pause, rewind and fast forward all channels, and keep unlimited recorded shows for up to 28 days. Unlike Sling TV, you and your significant other can stream live at the same time. Although the service is named “Playstation Vue,” a Playstation is not the only device needed to stream.

How can you stream live TV from outside the US?
It is important to understand that when purchasing these services you will need a US credit or debit card with US billing address. The US Unlocked Card is specifically for non-US citizens who want to make online purchases in the US and is accepted by Sling and Playstation as well.
If you still need to sign up for your US Unlocked Card, it is easy. Just follow this LINK and get started.
We are excited to announce that US Unlocked will complete a transition to a new card issuer in the next few weeks that will allow additional features to be added to your card! Some of these new features include expanded ability to use your cards at more merchants and websites as well as the ability to load your card using stablecoins.
Unfortunately, to complete the transition, we must suspend some features for a few weeks. During this transition, you will no longer be able to load additional money to your card or use your card for any purchases. Additionally, after the transition is finalized, all users will be required to resubmit their identification information prior to using the new card. We apologize for any inconvenience, but this is necessary for compliance reasons. We will keep you posted on updates and timing. If you would like your balance refunded, please contact [email protected]
Until we complete the transition to the new card issuer, you will not be charged monthly service fees.
