The Good : Sling TV is the first true Internet-delivered alternative to traditional cable and satellite TV, providing live channels (and some on-demand content) from ESPN, TNT, CNN and Disney for far less than standard pay TV packages, with no contract or commitment. It works anywhere in the US with a stable broadband Internet connection, and video quality is mostly indistinguishable from cable TV. Sling is available on a wide range of devices including Roku, Android, iOS, and Mac and PC computers.
The Bad : Sling TV has far fewer channels than basic cable, and the initial $5 per month add-on packs don't add much. You can only watch on one device at the same time. Most channels don't allow you to pause, rewind or fast-forward. On-demand options and authenticated channel apps (like Watch ESPN) are limited, too.
The Bottom Line : Sling TV's bargain price and freedom from contracts make it well worth a test-drive for prospective cord-cutters or "cord-nevers" who can live with its stripped-down selection of live TV channels.

Sling TV won many accolades at CES 2015. Not only did it walk home with awards for the Best of Best and Best Home Theater categories, it won one for Best Software too. Not only is the service a game-changer for cord-cutters, the software itself is great.
What make they can attract attention?
They are already a game-changer from at moment their cord is cut by themselves and the Sling TV can be to deal with more various consumers beyond the border through line of an internet. I cheer the way they choose and believe its success.
