Sling via Chromecast Ultra

[PineyCreek]

Ladies and Gents:

 

Thinking about trying out Sling.  I know they provide various players if you prepay to a certain point, but I already have a Chromecast Ultra which I mostly use for YouTube.  Can anyone tell me how well the two pair up?  Would it be better to have a Roku player dedicated to Sling?

i personally like roku according to some menu navigation including in apps is a little slow but i dont mind. i dont know much about chrome cast  but if it has apps like sling that you can download onto it i would stay where you are but right now i believe you can get a free roku stick ($40) if you pre pay 2 months (you'll have to read the fine print). im even buying another roku on top of the 4 we already have for my monitor in my room. depending on the type of tv you have you would want to check out the different rokus regular stick doesnt support 4k.. we use sling and i like it good price compared to cable but in reality we just installed a OTA Antenna for the St. Louis broadcasts and tend to watch local news and sports more often (we get 28 channels) dpending on your surcumstances it would probably be better to buy a roku stick if chrome cast has any other features than actually casting phone to tv.
