You can use Air TV by itself or with Sling TV. You hook-up OTA antenna to Air TV box and it will send the channels to your router via wifi or direct CAT5 cable connection. You will then need a Smart TV or Roku with Air TV or Sling app installed to receive the OTA channels coming from your router to your TV. All TV's in your house that are capable of running the Air TV app can receive your OTA channels via wifi, (two TV's at the same time). You can use it as a DVR by connecting an external hard drive to the Air TV box to hold your recordings and they will be sent to your TV's via your routers wifi too. I highly recommend you use a Roku Ultra with Sling TV app and the Air TV box to receive OTA channels as well as free Roku channels. No monthly fee to use Roku, no monthly fee to use Sling app to receive your Air TV channels. If you do get a Sling subscription, (recommended) your OTA channels will also be included in the Sling channel guide. This combination works great, very similar to having cable but much cheaper. Do some research and go for it! Good luck!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sling TV is an app. This app is compatible with the OTA AirTV. You use Air TV by connecting your Antenna. Air TV then broadcast over your home WiFi. AirTV doesn’t connect to any device, TV, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sling TV is an Internet based streaming TV service; it contains channels only available through cable. If you have Sling TV, AirTV will integrate your Over the Air channels into the SlingTV service so they’re all available in one place. If you don’t have SlingTV, you can still use AirTV, as it has its own stand-alone app. You’ll need an external hard drive if you want to record programming. The amount you can record will depend on the size of the hard drive. All you need to do is plug in the drive. AirTV will automatically configure itself. You use a coaxial cable to connect your OTA antenna, but there’s no coaxial output. The main function of this product is to use your WiFi to stream programming to every TV in your house from a single antenna. Make sure your televisions are capable of supporting the SlingTV or AirTV apps. Most smart TVs do, or if you use a streaming device like Roku or Fire TV, you’ll be fine. I know this all sounds a bit complicated, but it’s really not. I’m very happy with mine. Good luck!
