Sling TV AirTV 2 Long Term Review | Streaming Local TV with NO SUBSCRIPTION

great video, curious did you ever try to connect a USB Drive (maybe 4TB) vs a Thumb Drive?

You should never use a flash drive for your DVR. Use an external 2.5” drive.

I bought my AirTV in 2019 and have never looked back. Back then, they had an app to use that went directly to the AirTV and bypassed Sling, but they discontinued it. The AirTV does do some compression on the TV signal, but like you said, its good enough for most purposes. Here in Atlanta we have two major networks on 1080i and two on 720p, so that's about as good as its going to get.

I have that same antenna in my attic (one of three). It's pretty good for such a small antenna. I love that you attached yours outside, directly to your house.

An alternative is the HDHomeRun. Been running run it for years and no issues major issue here. DVR function is paid, but otherwise it's free and your channels won't become inaccessible if the company goes out of business.

Honestly the HDHomeRun Flex 4K is better because it supports ATSC 3.0. Also I read Online that the Sling Box has been discontinued so that's not a good sign.

Onn products are often really really cheap and aren't always recognized by non-computer devices. Sadly you'll likely have to use a Kingston, Sandisk or Samsung USB drive for it to work the way you want.

Onn work great for files to and from a PC but aside from that they don't really work well for device imaging or random access storage.

I live in a valley and the nearest local channels are 2 hours away

Watching Babylon 5 on Tubi TV on my Samsung Galaxy Z FOLD 3 right now.
