In response to the growing popularity of free streaming services like Tubi, Xumo, and Pluto, Sling TV has come up with Sling TV Freestream, an ad-supported version of its live TV and on-demand streaming service. Compared to its paid tier, Freestream has fewer channels and premium titles, but with more than 200 live channels and on-demand content to boot, it's certainly worth giving a try—you don't even need to sign up for an account to start watching.

Sling TV has been at the forefront of live TV for years, but it breaks new ground with Freestream, a platform designed to both entertain and entice users to upgrade to their meatier packages. Recently, Freestream also added free DVR.

The Sling Ala Keifak pack is one three Arabic live TV plans Sling offers. It carries 80 live channels spanning sports, news, entertainment, and music. There are channels from Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine, Morocco, and the greater pan-Arab region. The Ala Keifak pack costs $17.99/month, but Sling also offers the much cheaper Al Maalem add-on if you're on a budget and the more expensive Al Ostoura add-on if you're willing to shell out for more channels. The Ala Keifak pack also has on-demand titles from LBCI, ART Aflam, and Sling's own catalog of Arabic films. You can order Sling TV’s Arabic plans ala carte, but if you’d like more US channels, then you can stack it on top of base Sling Orange or Blue plan.
