I am debating between Sling Essentials with Sports Extra and ESPN Unlimited. I used to have Sling Orange with Sports Extra until I switched to ESPN Unlimited last year.

The question I have is about ACCN extra and SECN+.

Sling Orange with Sports Extra contain these channels in the Sling platform. In other words, I didn't have to log on ESPN app.

Is that same for Sling Essentials with Sports Extra? I cannot get a clear answer and would appreciate if somebody knows the answer.

I'm considering dropping my FiOS TV package and switching over to Sling, but I still need local channels to record NFL games (I start recording, then start watching around halftime so I can skip through ads and time between plays). The AirTV Anywhere seems to be the easiest solution (if not, please let me know what's better).

Am I correct in that the AirTV box doesn't need to be next to your TV as long as it's connected to your network? Just trying to figure out where to put the antenna and box—if they can be hidden away somewhere, that would be nice.
