We get at the heart of why Sling TV has been so successful and it starts with the fact they were the first to offer cable networks to the streaming video world. Meanwhile, they remain very cost effective (cheap) despite increased competition from DirecTV Now, Hulu Live TV, YouTube TV and, Sony Playstation Vue.

Sling TV's entry level Orange package ($20 per month) offers one stream at a time, while its $25 Sling Blue includes three streams at once and its $40 Orange + Blue service allows four streams at once.
