Since August, Sling TV has offered passes to allow you to use the live TV streaming service without committing to a full month. No, it still doesn't offer a free trial, but you can get a Sling TV Day Pass, Weekend Pass, or Week Pass and pay less to use Sling for a limited window.
There's a clear benefit to this. If you only wanted to watch a specific program on a given night or watch sports all weekend, you could do so for as little as $4.99 for 24-hour access. But what if you wanted to watch from Monday through Wednesday? Or Tuesday through Thursday? Well, in that case, you'd have to get three Day Passes, or commit to a whole week. The Weekend Pass works for three days, but only Friday through Sunday.
Well, I have good news: now you midweek-watching warriors can pick whatever three days
