Does Sling TV have an alternate name for TV provider for the NFL app?

iZ Wasp · Sep 18, 2016

Hey All,

Through the NFL app to utilize fantasy score tracker and game time updates, you can log in through your nfl, yahoo , etc, logins to track scores. The app also has the option to add your red-zone subscription, but you need to log in with your authorized subscriber.
The app has an incredibly long list of providers. I currently use sling tv for red-zone, but I am unable to find it on the list. Does sling TV use an alternate TV Provider name where my login will work, or is sling tv not currently on this list?

Thanks for your help!

:)

XBox One NFL App - NFL Network not working

I have the exact same problem. Does the NFL app require more bandwidth than other streaming apps? I use hulu, Netflix, and sling tv just fine. I have 10meg dsl. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and reverifying cable credentials. It says
active for nfl network, but no video.

Hey iZ Wasp,

There wouldn't be a case of it being listed as a different name. If you're unable to find the provider on the list, then unfortunately, your TV provider isn't supported yet. You can reach out to your current provider and tell them that you're interested
in seeing it being supported for the NFL app if you'd like.

This what that page Mister Fizzle linked to says * You must receive your television service through one of the providers listed above. If your TV provider is not listed, NFL Network and/or NFL RedZone is not offered as part of your TV subscription. Contact
your TV provider and ask for NFL Network & NFL RedZone online. We are working to add new TV providers, so check back online with us soon to see if we've added yours to our list.

The above simply isn't true as the largest cable provider (Comcast) in the Puget Sound area which is not listed in the app DOES have NFL network and NFL Redzone available to subscribers and they have since the networks started. There are no issues, the app
simply doesn't work and I think it is ridiculous that this was released this way in the first place. Someone is to blame for this not being available from Comcast and DTV on Day One and the users who subscribe ALREADY are not at fault here.

Will the Xbox One NFL App allow me to watch NFL Redzone without a TV provider subscription?

Lionss

I tried to use the nfl app to watch nfl network and it directs you to a website where you are supposed to type in a code that the app gives you in order to connect the xbox app with your tv subscription. so I went to the website and chose my tv provider
and then it redirected me to a page asking me to log into my "watchtvanywhere" account. This makes no sense because I do not have a "watchtvanywhere" account and my tv provider is directv. needless to say I think the nfl app on xbox one has some issues.
