This company (Sling TV) has an absolutely abhorrent commercial that is played over and over again through the news on channel 7 (5 p.m. - 7 p.m.) I used to watch channel 7 news every night and now I can't due to this offensive commercial. I am sure they are paying a lot for the time slot but you are losing loyal fans.

I would NEVER use your service. Your commercials are so grossly inappropriate. And I reach tens of thousands of people through social media, spreading the word. You lost alot of potential customers. Inappropriate!

It hasn’t been called “swinging” since Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. It is called, “the lifestyle.” Why go out of your way to reference a controversial practice from the dark age to gain customers under 65! I just can’t watch it because it nauseates me. But at least it is memorable so that I would never consider using them. It is not funny because “swinging” was never funny in the first place. It is like perpetuating the humor of adultery. Personally, I have never met a “swinger” who had any other method of attracting a willing partner.

I will literally never try your service based on your disgusting commercials.

Your media and decision making departments need to look in the mirror and reevaluate your life choices.

These commercials ad to the devaluation of Americas moral fabric and force people to watch the creepiest tasteless commercials on tv today. Do these fools have any idea whatsoever the business they are losing by offending 7/8 of the population? Just because of these tasteless commercials I will never use this junk company in my lifetime.

My young daughter and I just saw this disgusting commercial on TV! I wouldn't watch SLINGTV if it was given to me for free! Who thinks of stuff like this? They lost my business and many others because of what they are promoting!

Game show network is suppose to be a family channel
Stop with the sexual commercials and teaching it is ok to lie.
If you do not want to go to a party stay how instead of messing up a party for everyone else.

What’s funny about these ads is that they first tried to offend viewers with sexual innuendo then resorted to channeling disgusto Roseanne Barr. And that’s funny in sense of being totally bad for business. They must have so many subscribers they need to creep out and alienate some.

Please bring back the Slinger commercials. These new ones are awful. The Slingers were much more creative and the play on words was very entertaining. Thanks!

Your DVR service has been stellar until this past week. It has missed recording programs at least 4 times and the programs that have recorded show up in the DVR slot with no representative picture. Nothing on my end has changed as far as scheduling. Do better or I’m gone.

I am appalled at the political commercials, slandering and demeaning Democrats. I subscribed to Sling to gett TV, not hideous commercials that make Democrats out to be stooges of some Satanic order. I want to see this stopped and Sling censured for haaving such ads.

OMG.

A constant loop of the same horrible commercials every few minutes. I have counted up to 15 at a time.

The addition of all of the unknown channels does not improve the quality of viewing.

I can't do Sling much longer.

If we are paying for this service it would be nice not to have to sit through 5-7 minutes of commercials when enjoying shows. And half of the shows are all re-runs which they play repeatedly. So it's almost not even worth it.
