With so many of us asked to stay at home these days, having something to do to pass the time is becoming ever more critical. One of the ways many are turning to pass the time are streaming services, and many of these services are offering some great deals to attract new customers.

One of the more popular services out there is Sling TV, and if you act right now, the company is offering a free Amazon Fire TV Stick along with $10 off your first month when you prepay for two months of its service. Altogether, that’s a $100 value for just $50 if you select one of the company’s basic packages, or a $130 value for only $80 if you choose its top-tier package.

It’s common for streaming services to offer some type of free streaming equipment for new customers to attract them to their services, but it’s less common to see a discount on service combined with a free streaming stick or set-top box like Sling’s offering. As a result, we recommend you take advantage of this deal as soon as possible.

Sling’s labeling this as a “limited-time deal,” so act fast as this promotion could end at any time.

Sling offers three packages, each targeted toward different viewers, starting at $30 per month. Sling Orange offers one device stream and 30-plus channels along with a 10-hour DVR. This package is more entertainment and family-focused and includes channels like the Disney Channel, ESPN, Freeform, and Investigation Discovery.

Sling Blue, on the other hand, is more news-focused, with all major news networks, local channels in select markets, local NBC sports networks, although it lacks the previous channels of Sling Orange. Of course, you can select both packages for $45 a month, giving you access to the complete lineup that Sling offers.

We recommend the combo package, as it’s a great deal for what you get (especially with the ability for additional concurrent streams), and there are channels on both packages which we think you’ll want. Overall, $45 per month isn’t too bad, either.

No matter what package you select for this promotion, the $10 off promotion and the free Fire TV stick applies.

A new prompt-based chip lets signed-in U.S. users build refreshing feeds around moods, interests, or curiosities
Text, Electronics, Mobile Phone

YouTube is adding a new discovery chip to its Home page that turns a typed request into a personalized stream of videos.

The feature, called "Your custom feed," gives people a more direct way to break out of the usual recommendation mix. A viewer can ask for something outside their normal watch patterns, or narrow the experience around a particular moment, such as short guided meditations after work.

Sony launches True RGB TVs in the Bravia series, and it’s the start of a whole new era
Your living room is about to get a serious cinema upgrade.
Sony Bravia True RGB TV mounted on a wall

Sony just announced two new BRAVIA televisions, the BRAVIA 9 II and BRAVIA 7 II, and they might usher in a new era of living room TVs. Built around a technology the company is calling True RGB, instead of using a single white backlight like most TVs, these displays use independently controlled red, green, and blue LEDs to produce color directly from the source. 

Sony claims this results in the largest color volume ever achieved in its home TV lineup. The company has been working toward this for over two decades, starting with the Qualia 005 back in 2004. True RGB is Sony's attempt to combine the best of Mini LED and OLED into one panel, offering purer colors, brighter images, and better performance in well-lit rooms.
